"Meyer joked he thought about strangling his defensive captain." -USA Today
This is the only mention I've seen of Meyer's reaction. This was supposed to have been said on the sideline while the game was still going on. You know, tough as he is, Spikes is still a young guy and it was his first interception return for a TD in a big, emotional game. Also, he's one of those who 'lives right' and buys into Meyer's program completely. I have a feeling he'll get a pass on this and that the consequences will be nothing more than some extra running or such. We'll probably never hear about it again since Meyer tends to keep disciplinary matters private.

I think the rule is stupid. The ball would definitely have come down in bounds. Second, has anyone heard if Spikes will pay any consequence for kicking the ball out after scoring on the interception?
