The bigger they are the harder it is for them to find the end zone.
It happened twice in Saturday’s afternoon games as Boise State threw a touchdown pass to a wide-open Scott Matlock against Utah State.
A couple of hours later, Zion Farmer of Arkansas-Pine Bluff picked off a pass thrown by Alcorn State and found his way to the end despite nearly bobbling and fumbling the ball en route.
Big man TD alert 🚨 @Scott_Matlock28 hauls it in and extends the Bronco lead!

The tale of the tape on Matlock and Farmer:
Matlock is a 6-foot-4, 295-pound defensive end.
Farmer is 5-foot-10 and 290.
And on this Saturday, they both scored touchdowns.
