There is a reason they don't call American football the beautiful game.

Why? Because of moments like this: Temple running back Jager Gardner fumbles after being hit by a Maryland Terrapins defender Jordan Mosley in the third quarter. Then it becomes a comedy as the Terps can't grab the loose football.

Made it look like a greased pig.

Did you hear the Benny Hill theme song in there?

No?

Well, how about now.

There it is. Loud and clear.

Maryland did recover the fumble but saw their perfect start slip between their fingers in Philadelphia, falling to Temple 20-17.
