It's not considered a forward pass when it's a backwards pass.

Pass was backwards, I believe. Then it is just technically a fumble

No, because it wasn't a forward pass. Dropped lateral passes, or backwards passes are considered fumbles, and recoverable. Since the player was still behind the line of scrimmage, he was allowed to throw the ball

Except it went backwards.

How many times do you have to throw a football at the ground to predict how it's going to bounce back up?

A FARKTON! We ran that one once, worked pretty much like that.

Just as cool as the fake spike.

I woulda expected somebody to point out the filter pwnage in the boobies

How are you enjoying your position as defensive coordinator for Wake Forest?

With a nice tight spiral and a shallow angle? One.

Then how did they pull it off because that throw was a duck.

The end zone cam shows it was a tight spiral (the second shot, about half way through the video) and on field turf the ball bounces like that almost every time, especially one that has been "fluffed" with additional rubber pellets (and no, I didn't make up that term, that's what the field turf guy called it).

The kid who got the ball and made that pass really sold it...did you see him fake the "oh well" reaction and then bomb it down the field...that was awesome.

We play our home games on field turf...might have to give that a go some time this year.

Dear Wake Forest defense, if you don't hear a whistle, the play is still active no matter how defeated the opponent looks.

Well the QB could get flagged for not wiping

Pretty risky. One bad hop and that ball ends up in the arms of one of the defenders. That said, what part of "play to the whistle" is so hard to understand?

kudos to the refs for not farking up and blowing it dead.

DreamWeaver: kudos to the refs for not farking up and blowing it dead.

Before the game the refs will ask each team if they have any trick plays they are going to run, so I'm sure the refs were ready for this.

One of the Presbyterian fans cheered after the play. The Wake Forest coach then had the ejected.

Oh wait. Different NC school and sport.

This just in - football players are not, on the whole, very bright. This goes quadruple for defensive linemen.

Are we sure that was Presbyterian playing Wake Forest and not say...Boise State?? That trickeration seems like it could've come straight out of their playbook...

Awesome play. Terrible nickname. Call yourself the Highlanders or Warriors.

That must be when they tell them that when they hold it's just them pulling a trick play. I wondered how they did that.

/great play when it works but the ball being oblong you can't really expect it to work that well very often.

Farking WIN! I LOL'd.

As much as I love trick plays, allowing this one is a bad idea. It's not easy for a defensive player to discern whether or not the pass was a forward pass, so you play until the whistle. Let's assume it had been a forward pass and the refs were just a little slow in blowing the whistle and the defensive players plow into this guy while he has the ball. Oooops...15 yard penalty because we've created a rules scheme that requires defensive players to back off and not hit guys who are in defenseless positions (even when the ball is live). This play exploits that, and is banking on the fact that defensive players won't tackle a guy just standing there even if the whistle hasn't blown yet.

This is why players are taught to never stop until you hear a whistle. I call this a coaching fail.

If I gotta pick sides, I'm going with the one that doesn't suicide bomb.

lol

You can see at the end that there's one defender who's not fooled, but he doesn't get there until after the throw.

That and with the emphasis on calling personal fouls, protecting skill positions, ending late hits, etc. when you see everyone pull up you don't want to be the dumbass who lengthens a drive with a stupid penalty.

Yeah well they lost anyway. Scoreboard, biatches.
