NEW YORK — The old saying goes, "When you score a touchdown, act like you've been there before."
A few college football players took the nonchalant approach too far when entering the end zone the last couple weekends, casually dropping the ball right before crossing the goal line. It cost Clemson and California touchdowns and should have taken six off the board for Oklahoma, too. With goal-line brain freezes seemingly spreading, some coaches are taking action to keep such case of the dropsies from becoming an outbreak.
"It's something that doesn't need to happen, I can tell you that," South Carolina coach Will Muschamp said.
