    I always think that lateral stuff is a bad strategy. Ok you get the odd miracle like this, but 99 times out of 100, it doesn't work. Seems like you have a better chance giving it to 1 guy and blocking, like a standard kickoff return.

    A guy runs on to celebrate before they get to the end zone. Twelve men on the field. He's very lucky they didn't get called back over that or he might have found himself with some explaining to do...

    Also Mike Carlson points out that there was a blatant block in the back way before the one that was reviewed, and the knee was also down I think at a pass on the twenty yard line near the far side line. So if we define refereeing incompetence as a miracle...

    Only entered the field after the snap and didn't interfere with play so it would have been a dead ball foul. TD would still stand.

    The block on the back they overturned after a 9 minute review, however, was criminal.

    Yeah. Still all in all petty cool to watch though.

    To be fair the kick went short specifically so that the person receiving wouldn't be in a position where there's blockers in front. The point for duke was to force Miami to do this stuff, knowing the odds are very very slim of it working. There's no physical way to have taken that return back without passing from what I can see.
