Trinity 15 Laterals Play

Reel Deal · #1 10-29-07, 11:26 AM

I'm sure most of you have now seen the play from Saturday where a Division III game ended on a play with 15 laterals. So, I've shown my boys the Cal-Stanford play on YouTube several times, they get a huge laugh out of the band being on the field and the one band guy getting flattened in the endzone, so they see the clip of the Trinity play on SportsCenter and my youngest says, "why didn't the band go out on the field?" Too funny.

Here's the play...

one thing, which some people are gonna laugh at me for im sure....

Here we have rugby, im sure youve seen it.

Question - why dont more teams pass more than once?? Colts did a QB - RB handoff, and the RB threw to a short WR, and they advanced 25 yards the other day.

WHy dont more people do it?

because its fuckin hard to throw a football if ur not a qb?

Rug-what?

You can only have one forward pass per play... and the more laterals or backwards passes you design into a play the greater the chance that someone will botch it up and fumble... and turning the ball over in the NFL is not a good thing.

yeah, so difficult to throw a ball 5 yards??

And TY to RD for the one forward pass rule, i didnt know that bit.

Wasnt there a really famous superbowl play or something that a team did this??

Well, there was this play (that I still think was a forward pass):

And then the hook-n-lateral:

Cal-Stanford is called, The Play... amazing and hilarious at the same time! My two boys will watch it over and over and then run around the house yelling, "the band is out on the field!!"

Fuck the Titans. Fuck that stupid ass play. Fuck Jeff Fisher. Fuck Vince Young (most overrated player maybe ever).

I always thought it was hook & ladder, but every video listed it as hook & lateral... so, wtf???

"so, wtf???"

cause that's the play...

The receiver runs a hook pattern and then laterals it to someone running behind him the opposite direction of the hook.

That being said, Boise St vs Oklahoma is probably the greatest final 5min+overtime of any sport in the history of ever. THE DUDE PROPOSED AFTER THE GAME!

I know what the play is... we're talking about whether it's called the hook & ladder or the hook & lateral. I always thought it was hook & ladder but all the videos say hook & lateral.

Its been Hook and Ladder every football team i've ever played for.
