Stopping themselves
Intentional or not, Mike McNeill got his payback.
The senior receiver laid a shoulder into quarterback Taylor Martinez late in the game Saturday, actually knocking the redshirt freshman to the turf and ending a 15-yard run.
Had McNeill and Martinez not collided, the play would have certainly resulted in more than just 15 yards. Martinez might have scored if it wasn't for McNeill.
Reverse roles and rewind back to last week against Idaho. Martinez missed a wide-open McNeill on a first-quarter pass play that might have resulted in a touchdown.
McNeill smiled at the suggestion that he was seeking revenge.
Martinez certainly thought he was going to score, though.
“He just said, ‘That was a touchdown,'” McNeill said. “But he ran into me, as far as I'm concerned.”
Honestly I hope nothing like that would happen on purpose, I have noticed McNeil has said some back handed comments towards Taylor even before Taylor missed him on that open pass play.
