This is the Softest ‘Running Into the Kicker’ Penalty in College Football History

Matt Fortuna of The Athletic summed up Florida State's blowout loss at Boston College on Friday night perfectly, calling it a "comedy of errors."

Among the errors were repeated overthrows, three turnovers and head-scratching penalties. And while the Seminoles deserved to lose the game by the 32-point margin they did, they were the victim of a terrible call.

Midway through the third quarter, Florida State trailed 28-3 and were in dire need of a stop. They got it, forcing an Eagles' punt on 4th-and-5 from their own 38-yard-line. On the punt, Seminoles' sophomore linebacker Emmett Rice made contact with punter Mike Knoll, which drew a five-yard penalty and gave Boston College a first down.

Yes, Rice technically made contact with Knoll, but it was Knoll who really prompted the flag. It was more of a hug than anything else.
