Eastern Illinois tries pooch punt, it goes very, very, very poorly

Never pooch punt. It might only go three yards.

Eastern Illinois has had their hands full with Minnesota: The FCS school (who just had their star QB, Jimmy Garoppolo, drafted into the NFL) is getting whomped by the Big Ten squad. But! They had an opportunity to trick the Golden Gophers, keeping them on their back foot, by attempting a pooch punt, that could turn the tide of field position!

It did not go well (via @cjzero).

That's former Kentucky QB Jalen Whitlow, and that punt went three yards.

Never pooch punt, guys. Just go for it.
