Kenny Dillingham becomes meme after near ASU interception

Arizona State football coach Kenny Dillingham breathed a sigh of relief after a near interception during the first quarter of the Big 12 championship game against Iowa State.

Running back Cam Skattebo took a direct snap and ran the wrong direction when he then threw the ball away at last second and nearly saw it picked off by an Iowa State defender.

Dillingham’s reaction to the play became a popular meme on social media.

The drive would end well for Dillingham and ASU who would score a touchdown via a run by quarterback Sam Leavitt to extend their lead to 10-7 as the Sun Devils would go on to win the Big 12 Championship game 45-19.
