Demani Richardson has hilarious quote about game-changing fumble-return TD vs. Arkansas

Demani Richardson scored a game-changing touchdown for Texas A&M against Arkansas in the Southwest Classic on Saturday night in Arlington, Texas.

With Arkansas QB KJ Jefferson looking to get in the end zone to take a 21-7 lead, the Aggies stripped the ball from him and Tyreek Chappell recovered. Then, as he was wrapped up, he handed the ball to Richardson, who finished off the 82-yard return for an Aggie touchdown.

That made it 14-13 Arkansas instead of 21-7 in favor of the Hogs. Safe to say that loomed large in what became a 23-21 Texas A&M victory.

Richardson was asked about the play after the game, and his quote about it was fantastic:

Texas A&M DB Demani Richardson on Tyreek Chappell handing off the fumble to him: "I was yelling, 'Give me the ball! 'Give me the ball!' and if he didn't, I was going to take it anyways."

“I was yelling, ‘Give me the ball! Give me the ball!” and if he didn’t, I was going to take it anyway,” Richardson said after the game.

Just some heads up football all around by the elite Aggie defense.
