The best examples of social distancing from the 2019 B1G football season
Published:
Social distancing is a trending topic in our country today. With the ongoing public health pandemic involving COVID-19, the urge from government and health professionals is to maintain six feet of distance from individuals outside of your home.
While that’s certainly something new for almost all of us, there were a handful of B1G players who practiced social distancing on the football field last season — some a lot more than others. So, while we continue to practice safe social distancing and occupy our homes for most of the day, why not have a look at some of the best examples of social distancing from the 2019 B1G football season?
Obviously, there were more than enough to choose from, so I hand-picked some of the most memorable and enjoyable from last season. Don’t feel slighted if your favorite team or player was not included, because there were dozens that could’ve made the list.
And, if you have a favorite, why not share it with us?
Here are some of the top moments of B1G players showcasing their ability to social distancing themselves from defenders last season:
