  • Eddie and Jared's Sports Packet
    Eddie and Jared’s Sports Packet 1 Written by Edward Fuhrer and Jared Carson 1. DESCRIPTION ACCEPTABLE: Coach Paul Johnson told his team not to complete this action in a game, his ​ team proceeded to do it anyways. This action is also the only reason that Super Bowl VII (7) did not end in a shutout victory for the Miami Dolphins. In a 2016 game, Tyler Durbin could not stop Brad Haley from completing this action. The longest return that occurred with this action was by Antonio Cromatie during the 2007-08 NFL season. Florida State was unbeaten in ACC play for a total of 1,113 days until this action was completed by Lance Austin at (*) Bobby Dodd Stadium. The most famous radio call of this action occured when ​ the late Rob Bramblett stated that his team was gonna ‘win the football game’ after Chris Davis completed this action after Nick Saban called a timeout with one second on the clock in the 2013 Iron Bowl.
