Bad snaps often result in disaster for offenses, but on this play, Vanderbilt will live with the bad snap.

On 4th-and-10 from the Vanderbilt 37-yard line in Saturday's game against Georgia, Commodores punter Tommy Openshaw was unable to handle a low snap. So instead of trying to frantically punt the ball once he got control of it, he took off running—and got the first down.

Openshaw picked up 13 yards on the broken play and kept the drive alive.
