Arizona State coach Kenny Dillingham saw his life flash before his eyes as his team nearly entered disaster territory against Iowa State on Saturday.

When the two teams faced off in the Big 12 Championship Game at AT&T Stadium, Arizona State running back Cam Skattebo grabbed a direct tackle in the first half and ran the wrong way with Iowa State’s defenders chasing him.

In a last-second decision to avoid a massive loss, Skattebo threw the ball into no man’s land and nearly saw it intercepted by an Iowa State defender.

Dillingham’s face summed up the close call as well as anyone else could, and it became an adorable meme for your viewing pleasure.
