Footballs are oblong.
If footballs were round, that punt might have bounced right to Henri Childs, like he expected. At the worst, it probably would've bounded out of bounds somewhere around midfield. But footballs are oblong, and when Scott Elder's punt from the Oklahoma State 11-yard line bounced just out of Childs' reach, it shot straight past him. By the time he fell on it, it was at the other 11-yard line. The Kansas 11-yard line.
