A funny story

From CBS SportsLine:

UNLV kicker Ben Jaekle was summoned from the stands Saturday after starter Sergio Aguayo was injured in the opener against Idaho State.

By summoned, we mean that coach Mike Sanford got on his cellphone and called Jaekle, who was sitting in the stands.

"Who is this?" Sanford said recalling the conversation. "I said, 'This is Coach Sanford. This is not a joke. You are going to kick in the second half, you need to get down here and get dressed.'"

Jaekle had planned to redshirt but arrived in time to kick a field goal, three extra points and five kickoffs (he also missed a 33-yard field goal). He is also the man this week against Iowa State.
