UNI on ESPN's Worst of The Worst list - for a good reason

I've seen this clip a few times. I Know UNI is involved and I know it was at UNI because the end zone says Panthers. I've never paid real close attention because I didn't recognize the UNI connection in time, but I believe it was a visiting team that made the bone-headed move.

A guy caught the ball in the end zone on a kickoff. Looked around a little bit and started walking toward the sidelines still holding the ball. Since he hadn't taken a knee, that was a live ball. A UNI player knocked it out of his hands, grabbed it and fell down. Touchdown for the kicking team.

Yep, that was a playoff game, and UNI ended up winning by 7.

Its been the reigning champ, on the SportsCenter "not top ten" for like 2 straight months now. Never seen anything like it. Here's the clip: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yGp3jdDvhAM&feature=related

It's going to be there for a long, long, time. I want to say the closet vote when they come up with the worst play each week on Friday is 60/40. Simply unreal

Hopefully after tonight UNI will be involved in the ESPN "Top 10" Best of the Best and "Not Top 10" Worst of the Worst. Still feel bad for that young man from Wofford since he also had a crucial personal foul that led to the field goal that preceded that kick off. But hey, that's what you get when you don't know/obey the rules
