FEI Week 3: Tigers and Other Upset Specialists Seize the Day

Memphis punt returner Calvin Austin III scampered 94 yards for a touchdown against Mississippi State on a play that nearly everyone else in the stadium assumed had already been whistled dead before he even touched the ball. Most of the Memphis punt return team immediately drifted toward the sideline as soon as the ball left the punter's foot, as if a punt return of any kind was unplanned and unexpected. The Bulldogs punt unit certainly thought the play was over after batting it around near the goal line to avoid a touchback, finally touching it down at the 6-yard line.
