Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham saw his life flash before his eyes as his team nearly entered disaster territory against Iowa State on Saturday.
As the two teams faced off in the Big 12 championship game at AT&T Stadium, Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo took a direct snap in the first half and scrambled the wrong direction with Iowa State defenders in pursuit.
In a last-second decision to prevent a massive loss, Skattebo threw the ball into no man’s land and nearly saw it picked off by an Iowa State defender.
Dillingham’s face recapped the close call as well as anyone’s could, and it turned into a delightful meme for your enjoyment.
