Today marks the beginning of another weekly segment I'm calling the "Cornballer Bad Hands Play of the Week."
The "cornballer" is a reference to a recurring joke from Arrested Development, a very funny, very underrated TV show that you can watch on Netflix. If you get it, good for you. If not, just keep reading; the rest of this will still make sense.
The whole "bad hands play" thing is just a play on the play of the game that All State sponsors, except the ones I pick will mostly a little funnier.
This past weekend was arguably the craziest college football has ever seen. Eleven teams in the Top 25 lost, and now the current AP Poll is a who's who of any undefeated teams the voters could scrounge up.
But amidst all of the insanity happening earlier in the day, Arizona State and Southern Cal delivered to us simultaneously one of the weekend's best plays and worst plays.
I have no words.
Oh, wait, I found them. What the heck was that Southern Cal defender doing? #10 looked like he was fielding a punt. Go up and swat the ball down!
Props to the Sun Devils receiver for going up and getting ball, he did exactly what you're supposed to do as a receiver, and he played that ball about as perfectly as I've ever seen on a Hail Mary.
But he wasn't even touched. That's Pac-12 defense for you.
My favorite part is the Arizona State quarterback falling face-first on the ground after the emotional exhaustion swept over him.
USC clearly didn't watch the Auburn-Georgia game from last year, otherwise they would know that when a Hail Mary pass is falling toward you, you KNOCK IT DOWN.
Don't swat it up, and definitely don't stand there waiting for the ball to come to you.
That ball wasn't a Southern Cal scholarship, it wasn't just going to land in his lap.
