Once again, this time in a college clip today, a player thought he had already crossed the line and flicked the ball backwards and it landed on the 1 foot line and then he went in. That is so fucking stupid.
I remember long ago a Dallas Miami clip where the guy held the ball backwards while running to the endzone and a Miami player kocked the ball out of his hands.
JUST GET IN THE ENDZONE first.
In college football isn't celebrating before you reach the endzone a penalty? I remember watching a clip of an Australian punter in an American college who did a fake punt and ran for a touchdown, but he put his arms out to the side before he reached the endzone so they called it back. If I recall it's not a rule in Australia so he wasn't aware.
Here's the clip:

No no no, not for the penalty itself, even without the "taunting" rule in this situation, your lack of focus can even cause you to trip or not see someone behind you slap the ball out of your hands.
This is not the clip I saw today, but in this old clip this guy too got ahead of himself thinking he was already in the endzone. I was watching the halftime recaps of the other college games today and somebody else did this similar thing.
