Virginia committed one of the most embarrassing plays of the season during Thursday’s UVA-Georgia Tech game.
Before halftime, Virginia’s kick returner tried to fair catch a ball but instead knelt on the three-yard line without throwing up the fair catch signal.
The kick returner was called down on the three-yard line.
UVA kick returner kneeled at their own 3, didn't signal for the fair catch. LOL you can't make this up!

If you watch closely at the video, you can see the UVA player’s teammate tell him to do the fair catch signal.
Lol his teammate is telling him to wave for the fair catch and then his reaction when the returner forgets to call for it and just kneels. 😂
