Wake Forest Rolesville (N.C.) High returner Petey Williams may have pulled off the play of the year – a deke so slick it looks like it was from “The Matrix” rather than a football game.
That’s right, he avoided getting hit by the oncoming coverage team by bending over backwards on his punt return. As Cameron Smith at Yahoo! notes, “he Matrixed his way out of a tackle” may become part of the football lexicon.
College football is getting to be as popular as professional football. In some areas of the country, college football is a lot more popular than NFL football. In Nebraska for example, Memorial stadium in Lincoln becomes the state’s third largest city on home football game days. The stadium becomes a sea of red as fans dress in the team colors in support of the Cornhuskers.
