The end of the play is where disaster almost occurs. Toney was pushed out of bounds and his momentum reached a woman on the bench. She was standing next to punter Dylan Joyce when Toney tripped at full speed and hit her.

The woman fell backwards and nearly hit her head on a railing behind her. The woman recovered and players and other Miami staff members checked on her to make sure she was okay.

College football fans reacted on social media.
