Big Deal. Can He Get Me Lance Ito’s Autograph?
Most people noticed Rutgers kicker Jeremy Ito had the following roles in Rutgers’ upset of Louisville tonight:
1. He had a horrendous, lackadaisical miss of the Louisville kick returner during the 100-yard kick return.
2. He yanked the game winner wide left… but Louisville was offsides.
3. He nailed the game winner dead center after the penalty.
But here’s what most people didn’t notice - Louisville is down to their last few seconds, and they have a dangerous kick returner. The color commentators said there was “no way” that Rutgers would kick deep and give Louisville a chance to return.
But Rutgers did. And the Louisville guy dodged a few tackles and headed up the sideline…
Until he was nailed by the kicker. Jeremy Ito. The same Jeremy Ito that was afraid of contact on the 100 yard return and nailed the game winner.
Congratulations, Jeremy. Get some tonight.
