U. of Northern Colorado backup punter accused of stabbing starter in leg
 

GREELEY, Colo. -- In a scenario reminiscent of Tonya Harding vs. Nancy Kerrigan, the backup punter at Northern Colorado has been accused of stabbing his rival in the leg -- his kicking leg.

Mitch Cozad, a sophomore from Wheatland, Wyo., allegedly attacked Rafael Mendoza in a parking lot this week. Mendoza was treated and released at a Greeley hospital, but it wasn't clear when he would return.

Cozad was arrested on a charge of second-degree assault and freed Wednesday on a $30,000 bond.

Bizarre. Just bizarre.

Northern Colorado (UNC) had three kickers on the roster.

Now, they have one.

At least for this week.

I guess he didnt make the cut.

No, the problem is that he did. Very good, though.

Who said punters weren't aggressive?

Just a really bizarre story all around.

Guess he kinda took a lesson from Tonya Harding and her henchmen! WTF was he thinking?

Now they're looking for the person who allegedly drove a getaway car.

Yes, I'm serious.

You've got to be kidding me.

On a side note...

This is my alma mater's Punter/Kicker. I doubt anyone would want to stab Dan. If they did, I'd go apeshee-it because who would want to do anything to harm this poor guy? ;)

No kidding.

Stranger than fiction.

The injured punter is back in school and actually going back into practices.

I guess the suspect isn't only a few degrees off plum, but also not very good with a knife either.
