MANHATTAN
Charles Jones didn’t join the growing list of college football players to accidentally drop the ball short of the goal line during Kansas State’s 35-0 victory over Missouri State on Saturday, but he came close.
Jones, a senior running back, dropped the ball immediately after scoring the game’s first touchdown on a one-yard run and then struck a celebratory pose, crossing his arms and nodding his head at the applauding crowd.
It should have gone down as one of his best moments of the season. Instead, he sweated out the next few moments as game officials debated whether the play needed to be reviewed.
