Who stabs someone in the leg, anyway?

So perhaps you might have heard about the Northern Colorado second string punter, who stabbed the first string punter, so he could play.

Needless to say, this plan didn't work after a liquor store clerk saw him taking off the black tape that covered his license tag and called the cops shortly after the stabbing. The punter has been released on a $40,000 bond, charges pending.

But the story gets ironic during Northern Colorados first game this last Saturday versus Texas State, the first game since there punter incident last week.

The strong Safety, the third string punter, comes in to punt, and gets injured in the game.

The next punter comes in, and he's fantastic.. kicking his first punt a grand total of 7 yards. Honestly, how much could you really expect from the 4th string punter at Northern Colorado.

But alas, the Northern Colorado team, despite the punter difficulties continued to press on, and with only a few second remaining in the first half, Northern Colorado got some more punter magic, they ended up blocking a punt by the other team, and running it back for a touchdown to go up 14-0, which eventually proved to be the game winning score as they held on to win, 14-13.

A drama filled punting week, ends on a good note.. except for the 2nd string punter. I guess the moral of the story is to not stab people. Remember that kids, don't stab people.
