Arkansas State didn't have much go right against #1 Alabama on Saturday.

The Red Wolves did have the possibility to create the highlight that would have been a viral sensation.

Cody Grace had a seven yard punt on his first attempt of the day after fumbling the snap. Now it is amazing that a guy has a 7 yard punt and ends up averaging 39.9 yards per punt but every football fan would have remembered that seven yard punt if the Red Wolf punt protect team had known the rule book better.

The ball bounced near two A-State players and at least two more could have possibility reached the ball before it crossed the line of scrimmage.

From the NCAA Football Rule Book:

SECTION 3. Scrimmage Kicks

Behind the Neutral Zone

ARTICLE 1. a. A scrimmage kick that fails to cross the neutral zone continues

in play. All players may catch or recover the ball behind the neutral zone and

advance it (A.R. 6-3-1-I-III).

That's right. Arkansas State players could have picked the ball up before the punt crossed the line of scrimmage and advanced it. If they were able to run it past the first down marker, it would have been a first down for the Red Wolves at the end of the run and the player picking the ball up would have gone on to football social media immortality.

This rule has been used intentionally at least once. Eastern Kentucky punted the ball to a player behind the line of scrimmage to get a first down.
