This touchdown makes me feel anxious, but it’s incredible:
UCLA running back uses Oregon DB as a human ramp, stands on him, and falls into end zone for a touchdown
That’s one way to finish a TD run.
In a game against Oregon on Saturday, UCLA’s Bolu Olorunfunmi darted through a hole between his right guard and tackle. He got almost all the way to the end zone untouched, but he ran directly into an Oregon defensive back at the 2-yard line.
Olorunfunmi took matters into his own hands and got aerial.
Let me illustrate:
The defensive back getting turned into a human step stool here is Mattrell McGraw, who’s probably a perfectly nice kid. He didn’t deserve this fate, but football’s cruel sometimes.
There’s a voice in my head telling me that this is dangerous, and that voice is probably right. Olorunfunmi could’ve fallen directly on the back of his head, and that wouldn’t have been good. There are rules against things like leaping during field goal blocks, and they exist because heads are not supposed to bounce off turf.
It seems like everyone came out of this fine, though, except McGraw and Oregon.
