Robert Landers, Ohio State Teammates Enjoy Defensive Tackle's Short-Lived Touchdown


A backup defensive tackle captured the attention of the college football world for a brief moment in time on Thursday night. That was when second-string Ohio State nose tackle Robert Landers recovered a fumble and returned it 35 yards for a touchdown. Alas, the play didn’t count – Indiana quarterback Richard Lagow’s fumble was overturned to an incomplete pass upon replay review – but the memories of Landers’ touchdown return, on which he lumbered down the field before spinning and falling forward through a tackle into the end zone, still remain. “I was heartbroken,” Landers said with a laugh about the play being overturned. “In my book, it still counts. So I’m not even paying attention to them calling it back. But I can say it is a moment I will never forget.” Not sure about everyone else, but we’re still watching this. pic.twitter.com/VhKqrvmW01 — Eleven Warriors (@11W) September 1, 2017…
