Oregon State came into today's college football game against 8th-ranked Wisconsin as 21-point underdogs, so they were going to have to play their best just to keep the game respectable. However, after Oregon State punter Johnny Hekker kicked the ball off the side of his foot for what officially recorded as a negative-4-yard punt in the first quarter, they had to know it was going to be a really long day.
About 5 minutes into today's game, with no score, Oregon State had 4th and 10 on their own 18-yard line and naturally decided to punt. However, because Hekker's punt was so ridiculously bad, it gave Wisconsin 1st and 10 on Oregon State's 14-yard line. In effect, Oregon State would have been better off going for the first down.
Needless to say, Wisconsin won the game handily, with a 35-0 final score.
