Not Bill Snyder Football: Behind-the-back pass near goal line goes horribly, horribly wrong

September 8, 2012

Collin Klein, Kansas State’s Heisman-contending quarterback, controlled Miami’s defense in the first half with a well-balanced diet of runs and passes to help the Wildcats jump out to a 24-6 halftime lead.

Nothing fancy. No cheap thrills. Bill Snyder football.

Until this play happened.

On a third-and-goal from the 1-yard line near the end of the second quarter, Klein went all Harlem Globetrotters on us and tried a behind-the-back pass to Chris Harper. From the looks of it, the play was designed.

It, um, didn’t go so well. A 19-yard loss and subsequent missed field goal didn’t appear to make Snyder very happy.

(Kansas State is a 2.5-point favorite in the second half.)
