Thanks for the explanation. I wondered if there was some NCAA rule that was applied to give them a touchback. I still don't know if it could be considered a safety since it was the kick that was the force that put it there. If he started running and was tackled in the end zone, would that not also be a TB?
I wish I was at the game! I live in Indy and with games on Friday nights it's not easy to get up there Saturday (last week was round 1 of playoffs as well). I did watch it on the Big 10 Network with a fellow Bison though. We also were at the game last year where they beat Ball State. With today's big win they are now 18-1 the past 2 years and 3-1 against I-A teams. The only loss was last year at Minnesota 10-9 and they really should have won that game. I hope Coach Bohl is able to stick around to lead the team in the playoffs next year in their first year of eligibilit but I bet he'll be a hot prospect for some mid-major or smaller BCS schools this year.
