An offensive lineman for Army nearly knocked out one of his coaches Saturday when he decided to give a celebratory headbutt, forgetting his coach was not wearing a helmet. This happened during Army's 24-10 loss against Cincinnati.
As senior lineman Mike Johnson was walking over to the sideline, fullbacks coach Mike Viti walked towards Johnson and tried to give him a hug in celebration after the Black Knights got a first down. Johnson misread the situation and, for some reason, thought his coach wanted to celebrate with a clash of heads, as players sometimes do on the field. What resulted was Viti getting knocked back and losing his balance before another staff member and a player helped him stay upright.
