Mocs Kickoff Return Overturned

Mocs Kickoff Return Overturned

Are plenty of heart- breaking ways to lose a football game.

But on a fair catch signal?

That's a new one, and sadly it happened to the mocs saturday against western kentucky.

The hilltoppers scored with just over a minute to play to go up 13- 10.

Ensuing kickoff went to the mocs bryce nunnely in the end zone.

Now you can't see number 9 tyrin summers pointing at nunnelly to take it and go.

Apparently the ref thought it was a fair catch signal.

You'll see him run in in the background trying to stop play.

Nunnely ain't stopping.

He hits the sidelines in front of a jubilant mocs bench and goes 100-yards for the touchdown.

The mocs thought they had won the game.

But the refs reviewed it and determined it was a fair catch, so the touchdown was wiped off the board, and the mocs lost 13-10.

U-t-c wondering if that was really a 'fair' call.

Reporter:"were you okay with the explanation given on the kickoff?"

Wright:"no.

No.

I wasn't okay with a couple of calls there at the end.

Up here playing at their place.

Got to do what you've got to do.

All i know is it took them an awful long time to figure out if he waved his hand or pointed it right?

That was an awful long replay to figure that out.

So i don't know.

We'll see.

We didn't get any calls down the stretch, but it's all right."' boeck:"you know i don't want to talk about the officiating.

I think we.

I think that was.

I don't know.

I don't want to say anything about it."

Freeman:"it's kind of weird to me.

I've never seen it before.

Probably the craziest type of loss i've ever seen like with those circumstances.

That's all i have to say about that."
