College football season is back, and so are eye-opening highlight plays.
Several Week 1 highlights made their way around the Twitter airwaves, and it’s hard to find a rarer or more impressive play than Cody Thompson’s punt block/return.
Toledo defeated the VMI Cadets 66-3, but the Rockets first score of the afternoon occurred on a wild special teams sequence. With VMI backed up against its own end zone on 4th-and-14, the senior wide receiver stormed into the backfield, unblocked.
Before the punt could hit the tip of Reed King’s toe, No. 25 already returned it to the house for six.
