A backup defensive tackle captured the attention of the college football world for a brief moment in time on Thursday night.
That was when second-string Ohio State nose tackle Robert Landers recovered a fumble and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown.
Alas, the play didn’t count – Indiana quarterback Richard Lagow’s fumble was overturned to an incomplete pass upon replay review – but the memories of Landers’ touchdown return, on which he lumbered down the field before spinning and falling forward through a tackle into the end zone, still remain.
"I was heartbroken," Landers said with a laugh about the play being overturned.
