Getting rolled over

[Forksref]

I've gone down 3 times (as a BJ) in college games, twice by D-backs right after the whistle.

Our U smoked the ball boy on a play last week. It was on a fumble return on a free kick. The U was running the sideline and looking onto the field when the ballboy, who was too young and too small to be one, ran onto the field for some reason during the play. The U didn't see him and ran him over. On the same play the BJ went down while trying to stop at the end of the play.

Fodder for good laughs later.

Other than the normal bumps as an U, I have been taken down once - 2 OL block a DL straight backwards, and I couldn't back out fast enough.
I've taken myself out once - backpeddling out of the field I fell on my padded end.
And on the sidleines I've taken out one player (QB who then complemented me on the best hit of the game), and 2 coaches - all flagged, never had anyone hurt.

Had a play last week where I went to the line on a pass and the QB decided to shoot up the middle when no one got open. Found myself between a defender and the QB. The kid hit me from behind but I stayed up. Later in the series, he smiled at me and said "you've got good balance there, ref." I just smiled back and joked "no, you just have to hit harder."

I...have no comment lest I jinx myself. I could've been credited with a couple of tackles while working at umpire though.
