SMU Kick Returner Forgets Rules, Spots Tulsa Free TD

| Posted on |

Already down 10-6 to Tulsa, #24 SMU had a major miscue on a kickoff to spot Tulsa a free touchdown. Tyler Page, a junior receiver, was back deep on a kickoff for SMU but when the ball came his way, he treated it like it was covered in shit or something. He just let it go, refusing to pick it up, and Tulsa was able to fall on the ball in the endzone for a score. Maybe he forgot the rules for a second or maybe he thought it was a punt. Whatever happened, it was ugly and it’s safe to say they’ll have someone else back there for the next kick return.

Tulsa missed the extra point but is currently on their way to a potential upset, leading 16-9 in the second quarter. Coming into the game, they were 12-point underdogs.
