Craziest TD Of The Year Gets Called Back After Quarterback OBLITERATES Defensive Lineman

Phil Jurkovec Boston College Quarterback Block Wake Forest Zay Flowers Touchdown Called Back

ESPN

Boston College’s Zay Flowers scored one of the craziest touchdowns in recent memory. There was only one problem— it didn’t count.

During Saturday’s game against Wake Forest, the Eagles’ wide receiver took a reverse around the right side. However, there was no space to advance down field.

Thinking quickly, with five defenders around him, Flowers threw a nasty move to reverse field. As he went streaking back across the field, his quarterback set a MASSIVE block to clear some room.

Flowers proceeded to take the reversed-field reverse back around the left side and went untouched for six. But there was a penalty flag on the field.

Boston College’s quarterback Phil Jurkovec was called for an illegal blindside block. As Flowers cut back, Jurkovec viciously threw Wake Forest defensive tackle Miles Fox to the turf.

Jurkovec stands 6-foot-5, 226 pounds, so he is not a small guy. Even still, he absolutely blew up the 6-foot-1, 294-pound Fox.

It looked like a fairly clean block, as Fox clearly would have had Jurkovec in his peripheral vision, but the officials disagreed.

Take a look at the huge block:

Because the play was called back, the touchdown came off of the board, which is such a bummer. Jurkovec, who missed a solid chunk of the early/mid-season with an injury, is a dynamic playmaker who always gives the Eagles a chance.

In this instance, he did exactly what he is supposed to do, but was in the wrong place at the wrong time — at least, according to the referees.

BC went on to lose 41-10. If that touchdown had stood early in the second half, the momentum may have swung and things might have gone differently.
