The first 20 yards of that run were insane - Barry Sanders would be proud of some of those moves (and Don Brown might kill himself if he saw that tackling). The block at midfield was well done also.
This is why the various levels of a matter football are great - you would never see this kind of thing at an NFL game.

Matter football is a way to prioritize your life on Saturdays. It's about getting the best from yourself. It's human nature Greg.
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:07 AM ^
Yeah, I don't know if he would have been caught without it, but that block at the 40 yard line was impressive.
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:00 AM ^
Well technically you can’t have a 110 yard TD. 109 is the highest they go.
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:12 AM ^
They do it all the time in CFL. They don't even talk about it over there. They don't care about touchdowns unless they are 110 yards or more.

Ball was snapped at the 2ish, so it’s a 98 yard TD run.
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:06 AM ^
Definitely made that play happen himself with some hard running. Ran a guy over and kept his legs churning when he was wrapped up
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:10 AM ^
Great block at the 40. Also, I love how they highlighted the punter, lol.
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:18 AM ^
Reminded me of Steve Breston
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:07 AM ^
Except the long snapper actually pitched it to him
November 23rd, 2019 at 2:24 PM ^
This just brought on some flashbacks of yelling at Tyler Ecker to just pitch. The. Damn. Ball.

And, like any great play these days, it was called back for a block in the back at the 10. I feel like I can’t even celebrate great plays anymore because I’m anxiously awaiting the yellow pop up.
The kid is now at Kentucky playing quarterback.

His name is Lynn Bowden. He came into the year on the Biletnikoff Award watch list. He spent his first 2 seasons and the first 4 games this year as a WR, and a really good one. After injuries to Kentucky's 1st and 2nd string QB he started playing QB and has been functioning more as a wildcat QB who throws 10 or so times a game.
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:55 AM ^
Draft him now Lions!

Key block at the 40.
This happens a lot . . . the Kick Returner/RB/QB/(Punter!) breaks free and is heading for the end zone and all of his teammates follow along with him in a train, whooping it up as if they are running for the TD themselves.
Meanwhile he gets tackled from behind while his teammates are not paying attention.
I've seen this happen to Michigan at least twice this season.
If I'm a coach, I DRILL it in practice . . . don't just follow the guy in a train. Look for an opposing player coming from behind or the side to tackle him, and then BLOCK him.
Your own player can find the endzone on his own. He does not need you to cheerlead and guide him. He needs you to block.
November 23rd, 2019 at 8:58 AM ^
He ran a lot more than 110 yards
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:54 AM ^
Impressive. Since this is high school he’s probably also a wr or rb though and not a pure punter.
November 23rd, 2019 at 9:56 AM ^
Nice play and all by the punter, but that’s some of the worst, effortless tackling I’ve ever seen.
November 23rd, 2019 at 10:51 AM ^
First time I saw this my immediate reaction was thats the slowest defense I've ever seen.
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:23 AM ^
Saline had one of these a few years back. Not as long, but also no penalties called https://youtu.be/h1N1uPk2FPQ

Glad to see Greg Robinson found a coaching gig somewhere. I thought that form tackling looked familiar
November 23rd, 2019 at 11:50 AM ^
It looks like he has an opportunity to punt it at one point, but is looking to pass (?). Crazy.
