Cobb's TD return was on ESPN's Sports Science this week. Don't know how much of it is actually science, but I enjoyed the video. I think the way his left leg was coming around he was likely to remain on his feet even if Kuhn hadn't been there to 'assist'.

The video says the hit shifted Cobb's center of gravity outside his base of support, his legs. I think we can all see he wasn't outside of his legs but inside and there for could of caught himself.
The video also says three arms supported Cobb... do they not see that his foot was also on the ground?
As for Kuhn... I think the guy he was blocking got off of his block and hit Cobb... and the reason for the spin/roll in the first place. So he's mistake slowed Cobb up in the first place and looked like Cobb was gonna catch himself.
But Kuhn did then help the play... by get his feet tangled up with a Saint, who was catching up to Cobb while Cobb was trying to speed back up... Kuhn and the Saints' player got tripped up by each other... the Saints player was #35... who the Saints list as one FB Korey Hall. Both FBs... I wonder if they knew each other :-"
