given them a spark. The following interception by Robinson in the end zone bailed Kalani out of a disastrous decision. Seriously, to make a decision like that twice in your career is just plain foolish.

Kalani said he wanted to spark the team. He sparked the wrong team. Luckily, our

Yeah, he sparked our defense. They rose up and took matters into their own hands

I'd say it places a lot more pressure on him to be successful. High-risk gambling isn't a path to success.

I don’t get why our fake punts are being run by the punt. Hike it to one of the others in the backfield,
