Twitter erupts after Washington’s Alphonzo Tuputala drops a pick-six at the one-yard line

Washington Huskies linebacker Alphonzo Tuputala had a sure pick-six against Utah, until he dropped the ball at the Utes’ one-yard line.

Well, this was not the comedy we expected.

With 30 seconds left in the third quarter of Washington’s crucial Pac-Whatever-It-Is-Now game against Utah, Huskies linebacker Alphonzo Tuputala intercepted a pass from Utes quarterback Bryson Barnes, and had a clear path to the end zone. 

Except for one little thing — Tuputala dropped the ball a yard before the end zone, which made it a fumble, and Utah offensive guard Michael Mokofisi recovered the ball at the Utes’ own one-yard line. 

Here’s the even more bizarre thing — the Huskies were actually rewarded for this blunder. On the very next play, running back Ja’Quinden Jackson was tackled in the end zone for a safety, giving the Huskies a 35-28 lead.

As yo might expect, social media was all over this one.
