The Call
Written by: CrashUtah
The call against Locker in the BYU vs. UW game might be the most ESPN press BYU gets this year. It led off College Game Day and even had 2 segments on Sportscenter. Here’s a video of The Call in case you’re living in a hole.
I don’t think there’s much discussion on whether the rule is a good one or not. That’s easy: it’s a horrible rule. However, a rule’s a rule.
The best part of the video is when the football hits Locker on the head after celebrating with his teammate. If he just “tossed it over his shoulder” like many of the ESPN analysts said, then why did it take forever for the ball to hit him on the head?
Bronco’s response in the final interview won’t get much coverage, but shows exactly why Bronco will be one of the greatest BYU coaches ever. If I find the video of the interview I’ll post it.
Finally, Congratulations Jan on making Sportscenter’s #1 play on a Saturday filled with amazing plays.
I concur completely. It is a stupid rule, but it is a rule nonetheless, and it was a good call.
