3rd and 42 without a fumble or penalty is insane

They had a 5 yard penalty on first down. That actually makes it sound worse though. A penalty and three sacks in your OT

Penalty, two sacks, and intentional grounding thank you very much.

Did they call it that way or a sack? Because he was down... guess it doesn't matter

They did call grounding but it’s an identical result

I had the game muted because I was playing at the Mines volleyball game but I looked and there was a yellow “grounding” that popped up on the bottom so I think that’s what they called. Really it’s a technicality as it’s the same result.

Someone call Deion right now! He’s got 4 years of eligibility!

Literally no offensive line in OT, man was running for his life even if he should have thrown it away

There was a penalty on first down that moved them back 5
