catch and a first down yardage on this play you could put yourself in field goal range Lewis little inside screen and it's incomplete in his defensive mind defensive coordinator at Texas for the last three years had that nice run as a head coach at Montana State as a wobbler fair catch called for that one rolls and it's h oh you can't run it to the end zone you that is the college rule on a punt

muffed the ball and then recovered at the one Yow it's first down Nevada at that spot with a shotgun look in the end zone the the hand off is clean I don't think he got out it's a safety I think it's
