Being a center who just scored a would-be game-tying postseason touchdown, Hibben let his emotions get the best of him and spiked the ball. 15-yard penalty.
College kickers are a thing, but DIII college kickers are a whole other thing. The Wheaton kicker proceeded to miss the game-tying extra point. Given another opportunity after offsetting penalties, he missed again as a large train went by.
No word on whether the hobos catching a ride distracted the kicker.
