| Summarized by Kent Larsen  Things you miss on your mission (Some coaches already are feeling the heat)

 LDS Offensive lineman Faasea Mailo of the University of Southern 
California may have cost his team a game recently. Mailo was called 
for an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty when he removed his helmet 
with 3:08 left in the game, after his team scored a go-ahead 
touchdown. Removing your helmet is against NCAA rules.
 As a result, USC had to kick its extra point from 15 yards farther 
back, and was unable to make the point. USC then ended up with a tie, 
which was finally lost in triple overtime. Mailo, who is returning to 
play following his LDS mission, said he was unaware that he had 
broken the rule, "I guess I've been away from the game too long."
