October 29, 200718 yr That is EXACTLY how he drew it up. It's nice when a plan comes together... The beauty is that no kid went down with the ball. I never understand a player in this situation letting himself be tackled without giving up the ball.
October 29, 200718 yr Picture the ending of the Stanford-California game in 1982, without the band and with three times as many laterals. Trinity University used 15 laterals after a completed pass on the final play of the game for an unlikely touchdown and 28-24 victory Saturday at stunned Millsaps. Call it the "Mississippi Miracle" for the Tigers, an NCAA Division III team in San Antonio. There were two seconds left, only enough time to snap the ball once, when Trinity (7-1) took over at its own 40. Curry got the ball four times, the last after it was bounced off the turf into his hands around the 34 and he sprinted to the end zone. He crossed the goal line 62 seconds after the ball was snapped. http://www.sportsline.com/collegefootball/story/10437762 :eek: The people who went to this game definitely got their money's worth!

October 29, 200718 yr I was worried about the announcer. I thought he would have a heart attack.How about the one announcer mentioning laterals right before the play started.

October 31, 200718 yr Both of those schools are in Centre's conference. the Southern Collegiate Athletic (SCAC). Trinity is in San Antonio, Texas and Millsaps is in Jackson, Mississippi.
November 2, 200718 yr Here's a view from the end zone that gives you a better view of some of the laterals.
November 3, 200718 yr I have been involved in football for 34 years as a player or coach and that play was, without a question, the most amazing play that I have ever seen, bar none!!
November 3, 200718 yr Did the offense execute the play perfectly, or did the defense just give up? Or, was it a combination of both? To me, it appeared to be a breakdown with the defense. I didn't see an extra boost of effort from the defense that you come to expect when the game is on the line. I saw this effort from the offense. Guess they just wanted a "W" a little bit more that day.
