Caleb Williams Stripped His Own Running Back for the Wildest Fourth Down Conversion You'll Ever See

WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!

Kansas appeared to have a fourth down stop which would have given the Jayhawks the ball back in Oklahoma territory with a chance for a game-winning drive over the No. 3 Sooners. Kennedy Brooks was stopped short of the line to gain and was being driven backwards.

Then, out of nowhere, OU quarterback Caleb Williams appeared across the first down marker with the football in his hands. What? How?

*enhance*

Williams ran to his own running back and essentially stripped him for what was ruled a "forward handoff", a move apparently legal if both offensive players are behind the line of scrimmage.

But have we just thrown forward progress out the window now? Brooks was a full three yards behind where he was hit when Williams took the ball from him. I remember all the way back one week ago when Matt Corral "had his forward progress stopped" on a play where he never even attempted to run and just had the ball taken from him because he didn't know the play was going on.

Credit to Williams for having the awareness to make that play, though. The Sooners went down the field and scored to secure a win in a game which easily could have turned into a monumental upset if Kansas got that stop.
