It's quiet out there. No practices, no interviews, not much recruiting news. The perfect time for JayPa to dream up a new play or two.

Please no.

I may be young, but I think I’d have a heart attack if I saw Clark do that.

Come to think of it, I’m half-surprised Rashard Casey didn’t try that at some point.

I wouldn't be so sure he didn't

I recall some crazy pitches by him, and can’t rule out an over the back one.

I've played

pickup games where the entire offense is trick plays, and we never came close to doing anything this insane.

I take it you don't approve of blindly throwing the ball over your head?

I think the worst part about this play is that it is entirely unnecessary. There hasn’t been enough time for the defense to really react to if it was a fake or not, and if he just turned, actually LOOKED at his WRs, and fired off a quick one the play would be just as effective without nearly the risk.

WE'RE DOING IT

We just need to play a defense like this one, with not LBs or Safety over 5’7"

Sounds like we need

to find and play the University of Mexico or the Tennessee Tech Freshman football teams. Do you think Bobby still has their numbers?

by dawsonPSU10 on Jul 20, 2009 1:13 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

Probably not

But I’m sure he has kept the McCareins air force base recreational team phone number.

It will never happen, especially now with the NCAA ruling

but god forbid Bobby should ever surpass Joe when Joe retires in 2049 (yeah that’s right), and no one even blinks when honoring the “legacy” of Bowden without ripping into him for counting the wins against those schools, or any wins and Sam-fahd, and not to mention the recent scandals. I will try to organize a mass run onto College ave. with the intention of running into oncoming traffic.

They could have used that play

on the worst offensive series ever

Did you notice the name of the QB?

Almost #14! 4th and 61….I wonder what the record is for yards to go for a first down. They probably don’t keep that kind of record.

I believe the term is "Epic Fail"

best part was the ref falling down

Ref's falling down

It’s kind of the complete opposite, but it reminds me of that hilarious play in the South Carolina v. LSU game last year where it looked like the ref tried to tackle the QB.

Good video of that here.

I remember that

where ~~it looked like~~ the ref ~~tried to tackle~~ tackled the QB.

Fixed it for you…

by Screen Name 20 on Jul 20, 2009 3:48 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I can't remember where it is

but they showed another angle where it actually didn’t look like he lowered his shoulders and deliberately shoved the QB, but after watching that fifty times, I still can’t believe they guy wasn’t fired, because from my vantage point on the TV, it sure looked like he was trying to stop the QB, and made the effort to move into his path to give him a shove.

by dawsonPSU10 on Jul 20, 2009 6:39 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

At least they completed the pass — have we ever completed the pass with a WR passing to another WR? That play makes me cringe every time.

I think Norwood threw a completion last year that was really ugly.

Think that would draw a penalty? Like a flip into the end zone does?

how do we have 4th and 3 on our own 1?

Did they start us off in the endzone?

trick play

remember the one some SEC team ran like 4 years ago? The team acts like they’re still in a huddle on the sideline with the coach and the center trots out to the ball, the center then hikes the ball all the way back (latterally) to the team who are now lined up. They then run with everyone blocking, and the defense is still lined up or huddled up. It worked I think.

Don't you have to have

a minimum number of guys on the line of scrimmage?

by PSU Mudder on Jul 20, 2009 1:11 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

I vaguely recall the play

and I think they had the necessary people where they needed to be, but a bunch of people were standing around pretending like they’re waiting for the whole team to get organized. Then the center hikes the ball, and the defense was just completely unprepared, since most of the offense wasn’t “set”, which is why I think the play worked.

i do remember the steelers running something....

i believe it was maddox at quarterback, they were all lined up like 2 yards from the endzone. maddox was under center, but then stepped away and started walking towards the sideline and even unsnapped his helmet acting frustrated, and the center snapped the ball straight to the RB (bettis? fuamatu ma-afala?) and the line (and the RB) plowed right into the endzone.

there is also that gimmick play I've seen a video of from HS games

where the center pretends the ball is bad or something, turns around and hands it to the QB who then walks it to the sideline/coach, and then turns downfield and runs for a TD

I actually hate those type of “trick” plays, since it is basically leveraging people’s non-assholishness for randomly atttacking the QB when a play is “dead” (yes, I know in this instance the play isn’t actually dead, but it should be). I just imagine some team who had this play called against them then going on to tackle the QB after every false start, timeout, delay of game, end of quarter/half, because they wouldn’t be able to trust that the QB wasn’t going to go and run by everyone again.

I’m all for misdirection and trick plays, but not ones that take advantage of dead ball rules.

That's just terrible

Nothing like teachng kids about good sportsmanship by teaching them how to cheat. I hope they lost that game 100-6.

I agree it's a douchebag play

but you’ve got to give them credit for coming up with a genius deception like that. Plus, I sincerely doubt anyone is going ever try that one again and not see through it.

by dawsonPSU10 on Jul 20, 2009 6:41 PM EDT up reply actions 0 recs

It being posted on youtube may have ended chances of its continual success.

Now coaches can tell their linebacker (or maybe two for added safety) that if the other team tries that shit, he can follow the QB and stuff his face into the ground.

But then that could lead to a fake “wrong ball” play… Oh the possiblites for doucheabag coaches.
