The Athens Messenger reports the following:

"Rumor has it, Bobcats coach Brian Knorr is experimenting with a new trick play. The play, which is somewhat difficult to describe, involves the running back under center taking the snap and running backwards. The other running back runs downfield without the ball. Then, rather than running with the ball, the running back who takes the snap, pulls the ball back over his head and releases the ball forward through the air towards the running back waiting downfield. With any luck, the running back down field catches the ball and gains positive yardage."


Must Knorr resort to trickery, I ask you? This play seems awfully unfair.

Oh, the skullduggery! I bet that, when he hears about this, President Roosevelt will be madder than he's been since San Juan Hill!

Only if your field is crowned.

Or you use those sneaky "substitutions" I hear so much about.



(LOFL Torch, great minds think alike and so do ours I was going to post that exact thing, but you beat me to it)

No, no guys -- this is much worse!

In this play, OU is actually attempting to move the ball forward without anyone carrying it there! :mad:

This is an outrage! Aren't there rules in place to prevent such a play?!!

No one believes that OHIO FOOTBALL will avail itself of the alleged forward pass...at least not without years of proof that this maneuver can be performed without massive injury and destruction.


If the deity of your choice had wanted the football to be advanced by hurling and catching it, he or she would have put handles on pigs.
