Bethel College Scores TD on Trick Play

The trick here is a little subtle and hard to see from a distance.

What happens is that the quarterback turns back and to the right, as if he's pitching or rolling out in that direction. But he then tosses the ball over his head, backwards and to the left.

I wonder if this can be duplicated or if it's a one-off. The idea seems sound -- the defense moves in the direction the play seems to be going. If you throw the ball backwards over your head (without looking -- a timing play) they're not really going to be ready to make that interception.

I'd like to see the NY Giants try this. We can't score in the red zone, and Eli Manning tends to throw interceptions when he's aiming and looking at his receiver, so...

Thanks to Larissa.

5 Is this what passes for a football thread at HQ these days?

No thread during the Colts-Pats game, but we get this? Ideological purity sure comes with a heavy price tag.

6 My favorite play is the direct snap to the RB while the QB is walking over to the tightend and appearing to be changing the play. Our HS team used to run that.

Any variant of the Statue of Liberty is awesome. But, as a running purist...

Why not just run the option?

15 I guess you can throw a two handed pass. Just as long as it goes over the line of scrimmage. Then it could be called a fumble if it doesn't.

That looks like a one in a million type of play. The timing must be damn near perfect, and if one defensive back sniffs something funny, he'll blow up the play. Still, kudos to the coach for having the ingenuity and balls to pull it off.

Posted by: FUBAR at November 20, 2009 07:57 PM (eRJUD)

23 Pretty risky. He's basically just throwing it up for grabs. I say he's lucky it was caught by his own receiver and not by an opposing linebacker.

Hey, I'm as big a fan of gutsy calls and trick plays as anyone. But one has to be smart when making those calls. A trick play that blows up in a team's faces is a huge momentum swinger; one that blows up at the goal line and snuffs a scoring opportunity can kill a team's will to win.

43 That these guys pulled it off was totally due to luck. That ball floated long enough that a more well-positioned defender might have had a chance to intercept.

44 As an O and D-line coach, I hate gadget plays. Too much downside. This one is definitely a one-off if the defense is playing assignment football. In fact, some of the defenses I've coached would have taken this the other way for six.

67 Certainly watches are Replica Watches used to help people record rolex Watches time, but rolex watches nowadays its functions have enlarged. Replica watches are now tag heuer Watches not only objects that tag heuer watches can tell you what time it is, they are also a status symbol. You should not feel strange when you find someone wearing a watch on his wrist, but use the cell phone to tell time. In that situation, the watch is just showing its luxurious function cartier watches. It is normal and cartier watches perhaps also happens to you. .If asked that among the watches of various brands, which one can suit your taste? There is no doubt that most people will choose Rolex. Whichever social class you are in, it is naturally Rolex was known breitling Watches and cherished breitling watches for a long time. However, the elements do not usually enter the market alone, always come with the price tag up to the hand. For this reason, many people, especially men, their dreams of luxury Rolex watches are buried in omega Watches his heart omega watches. What should I do? Rolex watches are simply stunning worn by the rich and famous, right? No, this world is not the world's richest men, is the world of each. All are equal before the search of luxury and be men's watches respected. Within men's watches, the law, when consumers are in the market, women's watches they should women's watches receive the same treatment. This is the real reason why replica Rolex watches are ladies watches ladies watches more welcome than Rolex. Because in this world are not difficult to understand that the rich are much less than people with low income, you agree with me? You are forced to nod and say with certainty that is the reality. These low-income people do not have enough money to save every month. They can not afford such luxury Rolex watches

69 Factors Replica Watches About The Rolex replica watches Oyster The Oyster is so closely get in touch with Rolex, and it is inevitably that some people think these are the only Replica watches Rolex manufacture. Others suppose that there is a single Oyster watch. But as a matter of fact, the name Oyster does not actually meant for a rolex Watches particular watch you can buy rolex watches or even to a series but to a type of case that available in some of the Rolex ranges. History The Oyster case was first released in 1926. The objective was to protect the workings of the watch from dust and moisture. Early watches were far from waterproof. The Oyster tag heuer Watchescase was an tag heuer watches innovative design to eliminate these problems. It had a new double locking crown that screwed into place. It has been compared to the hatch on a submarine. Like a submarine, the Oyster case was waterproof. In 1927 Mercedes Gleitze swam the English breitling Watches Channel breitling watches . Before she set off she was presented with a Rolex Oyster. When she arrived, the watch was still working perfectly. The resulting publicity gave the new case a massive boost. Why is it called Oyster? Legend has it that Hans cartier Watches Wilsdorf cartier watches, who invented the Oyster, chose the name because the new case reminded him of the difficulty he had experienced prising open oysters at dinner. Since then the Oyster has further, particularly advanced. Many Oyster watches today are omega Watches perpetual-self-winding, in other omega watches words, it does not require to expose the mechanism to the outside world in order to wind it. The Osyter Perpetual is one of the toughest, most durable, most reliable watches (under truly adverse conditions). It is probably the best mechanical watch money can buy.
