oh my gosh -- hilarious. How in the world could somebody make that mistake. I feel bad for the kid, but what the hell was that?!? Fortunately, for his sake, KSU will win that game & everybody will laugh about it afterwards. I'm sure his teammates won't let him live that one down.
LOL, luckily for Kent, and that kid, the rules state that you can't advance the ball after recovering a muffed punt like that. The -58 yard return was wiped out officially, but the memories of it may never be. Basically, everyone on the field screwed up there - Kent State players (going wrong way), Towson players (trying to tackle someone going wrong way), and the refs for not whistling the play dead immediately upon recovery.

I don't know whats worse, running the wrong direction or tackling the guy before he can get you two points.

I think the Towson players may be more foolish for tackling the guy before he ran into his endzone. That was even more nutso.
