but I always thought he was trying to punch the ball out and missed. Which is probably more embarrassing than what the camera caught him doing. He was turned upside-down, I think he was disoriented. He was trying to grab the ball, aimed to punch the ball out and missed terribly and hit something else.
But if I were a Yewt, I wouldn't believe that for a second because the video confirms my preconceived notions that BYU is just terrible in every regard. But I think he missed a disoriented punch out.
