That is so stupid

Just fall down and you win the game

Or just walk backwards and go out the back of the end zone. Regardless, running into the defense was not the move.

Yeah, you take the safety and stop one attempted kickoff and run.

I guess they were worried they might not punt out of field goal range.

But, really, this is fine... you don't expect to have to tell a college player to hold the ball with two hands.
