Anyone who has ever played a snap of football knows to keep your head on a swivel.
That also includes the game officials.
Duke running back Jaylen Coleman was running through a nice hole created by his offensive line during Friday’s game against Temple when the umpire happened to be in the way.
Coleman had a choice to go around the umpire or go right through him. And you know what he decided to do.

It doesn’t appear that anyone was hurt and there’s nothing illegal about trucking an official if they are in the way.
Maybe the umpire thought Temple’s defense needed the help. They are trailing the Blue Devils 24-0 at halftime. Coleman has 32 rushing yards and a touchdown.
