Kentucky RB A.J. Rose celebrates too early, gets caught from behind, later loses fumble

Just when you thought D.K. Metcalf taught the world not to celebrate too early, something similar happened in the college ranks on Saturday. Twice.

Metcalf, the star receiver for the Seattle Seahawks, caught a deep ball last weekend against the Dallas Cowboys and started celebrating before reaching the end zone, only for a Cowboys defender to knock the ball out of the end zone for a touchback.

Apparently Kentucky’s A.J. Rose missed that highlight. With his team trailing Ole Miss 7-0 early in the first quarter, Rose broke off a huge run.
