Dyrell Roberts just did a muscular tightrope act on the sidelines for a kick return for touchdown. After the initial break through Bama’s coverage, he hit the afterburners, evaporated the poor kicker’s chance of even considering catching him, and then stiffarmed the living hell out of the last man while somehow skating inches from the sideline to a TD. Breathtaking in the good sense.
Beamerball!
Breathtaking in the bad sense: the call against VT for a personal foul for roughing the passer on the following possession, a continuation of a trend toward turning college football into two hand touch. A tossing of McElroy (who was running past the line of scrimmage as a ballcarrier at the time) out of bounds was not unsportsmanlike, and goes with the penalty levied against Georgia for a hard but clean hit against an OK State receiver as examples of a worrisome trend in overly officious officiating.
