Charles Campbell hit a dog on Saturday.
No, not a real, live Good Boy, but a cardboard cutout — one of the many situated in the end zone seating beyond the uprights at Memorial Stadium. As part of its season-long fan cutout promotion this fall, IU is giving regulation game balls to fans whose cardboard stand-ins are struck by flying pigskins. That means Campbell, IU’s redshirt sophomore kicker, has two jobs this year — thread the uprights for Hoosier points, and make sure paying fans (and dogs) receive their coveted keepsakes.
“I hope that dog got something nice,” Campbell said.
