KU quarterback Jason Bean, Big 12 ref mentioned in ESPN’s ‘C’mon Man’ segment
Saturday’s Kansas-Oklahoma football game was full of oddities.
There was the power outage that temporarily knocked out the scoreboard information, the stadium gates were open to anyone in the second half and Oklahoma secured the 35-23 victory thanks to the Sooners quarterback stealing the ball from his teammate.
One overlooked play was by KU quarterback Jason Bean, who inexplicably ran out of bounds short of the goal line despite having a lead blocker that would have allowed him to score.
On ESPN’s “Monday Night Countdown,” Bean was mentioned on a regular segment called “C’mon Man.”
Each week, Suzy Kolber, Adam Schefter, Randy Moss, Steve Young and Booger McFarland pick plays from college and the NFL in which something strange took place.
“Wait, how much NIL money is at risk here?” Young asked about Bean. “Hey, bro, you’ve got a lead blocker into the end zone, you don’t go out at the 1.”
A Big 12 official also was mentioned for a call Saturday in Iowa State’s 24-21 win over Oklahoma State. Cyclones wide receiver Xavier Hutchinson was called for an excessive celebration, wiping out a touchdown.
The Iowa State broadcasters called it the worst penalty in NCAA history. Are they wrong?
Moss couldn’t believe the call either.
“Hey Mr. Referee, you just stole the touchdown,” Moss said.
Here is the entire segment that aired on ESPN:
