Watch: Player forgets basic rule, costs team TD

Wofford's Stephon Shelton was already feeling down at the start of the 4th quarter of Saturday's FCS playoff game against Northern Iowa. He had just been flagged for a roughing penalty during a field goal, and Northern Iowa took the points off the board and ended up scoring the go-ahead touchdown.

So Shelton, who also returns kicks, was ready to redeem himself and do something memorable on the ensuing kickoff. Sadly, he did something memorable - but probably not what he had in mind.

Shelton received the kickoff cleanly inside the goal line and elected not to take it out of the end zone. The problem? He elected to wander nonchalantly in the end zone instead of taking a knee. It only took a few seconds for an alert UNI player to jostle the ball loose from the oblivious Shelton. UNI's Phil Wright recovered the ball while Shelton protested to the referee, who ignored him and signaled a touchdown for UNI.

Wofford, who dominated the game offensively, ending up losing the game 28-21.

Ouch. As the ESPN3 announcer declared: "You might not see that again in another 100 years."

In the future, it's a good bet that Shelton will likely be taking a knee - while he prays that Wofford fans forget his colossal blunder.
