First things first: Stanford running back Christian McCaffrey did not score on an incredible 97-yard punt return in the Cardinal’s game against Kansas State, but only because it got called back because of an illegal block in the back.
Illegal block or not, his return was nothing short of amazing.

McCaffrey, who touched the ball on the opening kickoff and the game’s first five plays from scrimmage, finally broke through 10 minutes into the first quarter.
It was something to behold.
We can probably expect a lot more of the same from McCaffrey this season.
