Idaho State’s WR Coach Likes The Hustle

I’m pretty sure this is a plot point in one of the Air Budâ†µmovies, isn’t it?â†µ

â†µâ†µIt’s a variant of the “barking dog,” except without the considerable shame. If you replay the video six orâ†µseven times, you’ll be able to tear your eyes away from the kid at theâ†µbottom long enough to determine the touchdown came on a swanky reverseâ†µpass. The scorer is 5-7 Idaho State receiver/tailback/returner/smurfâ†µKenyon Blue, and the thrower is actually the quarterback, who actuallyâ†µlined up in the slot. But it’s Isaiah Burel, the guy at the bottom,â†µwho mesmerized the defense with his rad dance moves, setting up aâ†µteammate for a touchdown on a play.â†µ

â†µâ†µAnd the thing is, Burel is wide open! Look at him. He’s managed toâ†µinsinuate himself five yards downfield and the corner to his side isâ†µeight yards off, probably because he doesn’t want to get plastered allâ†µover SportsCenter by a double move when Blue breaks out the moonwalk andâ†µinstantly immortalizes Anonymous Idaho State Opponent Cornerback. Thisâ†µis a brilliant strategy for any receiver toiling at the lower levels ofâ†µcollege football: terrify your opponent into thinking he could be theâ†µfunniest joke on YouTube for the rest of his life by turning your routeâ†µinto a So You Think You Can Dance audition tape. Theâ†µpossibilities are endless. â†µ

â†µâ†µQuestion: how does Burel’s officialâ†µbio not mention his sleight of leg? Sure, he was “unstoppableâ†µagainst Sacramento State,” but this is way bigger, man. You’re Idahoâ†µState: this should be your Heisman push. â†µ
