Iowa fake punt disastrously ends with somersault, targeting call

Related Topics: Trick play

A fake punt, a somersault and a targeting call all converged at once in the first quarter of the Iowa-Michigan game on Saturday.

On a fourth-and-9 from the 36-yard line, Iowa punter Ron Coluzzi attempted a fake punt and had open field before tripping, doing a somersault and hitting the ground well short of the first down.

Coluzzi, however, was hit on the play by Michigan’s Devin Bush, who was ejected for targeting on the play.

The Wolverines took possession after the play.

Yikes, Iowa.
