New Mexico running back Bryson Carroll scored what looked to be a 57-yard touchdown run in the first quarter of Friday night’s game; however, it turned out that he celebrated much too early.
Why? He dropped the ball at the two-yard-line, and it’s what we consider the dumbest thing in football right now.
