the dumbest way to lose a game in college football history

The D3 College Football game between La Crosse and Platteville had an absolutely bizarre ending. Platteville was in prime position to win the game, trailing by 1 all they needed was to kick a field goal. They were already deep in La Crosse territory and just needed their QB to spike the ball. However, their QB had an absolute brain fart and took a knee instead of spiking the ball. The clock kept running and they were unable to get another play off. Platteville lost the game 24-23 because the QB took a knee instead of spiking the ball.

If you are confused, the QB took a knee instead of spiking the ball to stop the clock. The clock kept running and they didn’t have enough time to get another play off. Just a complete brain fart. This is a D3 game btw.

Kicker: “alright I gotta be clutch”
QB: “nah bro I gotchu”

The amount of sleep that kid is going to lose over this play is astronomical.

*Flash to the locker room meeting*
Coach: “alright OK you all listen up. Everyone take a knee. Except for you Colin.”

*I love the "Noooo!!" you hear as soon as he kneels, was probably his coach.*

This is a great way to get the school to review your academic eligibility.

"For their first pick of the 2022 draft, the Jets select Colin Shutz of Platteville."

[mcsibs]

If he wins the game, no one remembers. If he loses in spectacular fashion it lives on forever

I've seen worse. Our quarterback, while on his own 10 yard line tossed the ball into the air over his shoulder when the final gun went off. The other team fell on the ball in the end zone for a touchdown and the win. I guess the transition from basketball to football was more than his brain could handle.

Love how the game clock operator stopped the clock and the ref is waving his arm like a maniac

[Neldog]

its ok he just pressed the wrong controller button it happens

He saved the kicker the embarrassment of missing an easy FG.

Someone: "That'll never happen in the pros"
Kirk Cousins: Hold my beer.

"It's a bold strategy Cotton. Let's see if it pays off for them."

Ready to be the quarterback for the Jets someday!

I really feel bad for this kid, however there is a bright spot after all. It was announced that he entered the transfer portal and will soon replace DJ Uiagalelei at Clemson. Go Tigers

[BiG__Disgruntled]

It was about that time he began to take his classes a bit more serious.

[King_Immanuel]

If you think about it he's really a genius. If he takes a knee his teammates don't have to play another snap, meaning no injuries. He was simply giving his teammates more rest for the next game

[ejxzlxe]

Kicker: I can't wait to knock this through for the win!
QB: rest your leg for next game bucko! I gotchu!

[GrnXnham]

So embarrassed for that kid. He's going to be hearing about that one for the rest of his life.
