I would be willing to bet that this was set up in advance, like the play a couple of years ago with another young man in the same position. As I remember it was the opposing coach in that case who suggested that the player be allowed to score.
It would seem a bit strange that a player with these kind of physical limitations would make a 75 yard run without be ing caught. In the previous situation I remember that BOTH teams were cheering the player on. And I love the aditude that does this.
Makes a lot of what we see and hear go away.
