Northern Illinois kicker John Richardson loses his mind after game-winning field goal

Not that’s Wednesday night MAC-tion.

The Ball State-Northern Illinois game came down to the foot of sophomore John Richardson.

After he kicked the game-winning 32-yard field goal as time expired to give the Huskies a 30-29 victory over the Cardinals, Richardson showed he could be given the nickname Crazy Legs.

Watch as Richardson runs amok going nowhere and everywhere all at once as he seems overwhelmed with the joy of the kick that boosted Northern Illinois to 7-3 over and 5-1 in the MAC.

Richardson had himself a game, connecting on all three field-goal attempts and nailing his three PATs.
