That's Arch Manning football, baby.

He got em back in. Then got em back out. Although I blame #74 more than Manning on that fumble. Buddy caused it when Manning spun into him then tried to pick up instead of jumping on it

Cam Newton special from the big man.

Literally. Just stared at it then tried to half ass grab it. Throw your big ass on it man.

It always kills me because I see more energy on fumble recoveries from high school players when I work varsity games, doing it literally for free, than I do from some cfb players and professionals.

I thought the exact same thing. Jumping on that ball is priority number one in that moment

Especially when he’s that big and the guy they recovered was so much smaller. Just jump at it and effectively box him out. Just strange.
