Northern Illinois kicker John Richardson goes wild after game-winning field goal vs. Ball State

Now that’s Wednesday night #MACtion.

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 Northern Illinois a 30-29 victory over Ball State, 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 overall and 5-1 in the MAC.

The way officiating is going, Richardson is fortunate he wasn’t called for dead ball excessive celebration ... even though the game was over.

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

The kicker was so ecstatic he forgot which was Northern Illinois' sideline. That explains what took so long for his teammates to join the party.
