The Trick Play

Haven't heard anybody discuss it probably because nobody could follow who in the hell had the ball. Although its probably better that's not on video-I'd love the see it

I've never seen a trick play like that. It was similar to some I've heard of. But those were from the early days of football. This updated 'trick' was very cool!

Yes you do...Coach Fry called it the "Bumarooski" (telling us it had first been designed by Bum Phillips), and sprung it on Ohio State in '68. Remember? Bill Dietz hunkered down and then skirted the end for about 30 yards.

You are a better man than I. I am trying to remember what I did 30 minutes ago.

Similar to those single wing stuff where it really hard to follow who has the ball.

They tan it perfectly and the coaches ran it at the perfect time. Seems to me trickiest part of running a trick play is when to use it.

Yes! I knew I had seen that play before somewhere. Loved it. Somebody already said it - but without a doubt look for some halfback passes from Kemon sprinkled in. It's gotta be coming.

It's an old Double Wing play. The Double Wing is run out of tight splits, but that play tightens the splits down to nothing.

I saw three different teams run the old Single Wing Transcontinental play in week one.
