SportsFilter: The Friday Huddle:
A place to discuss the sports stories that aren't making news, share links that aren't quite front-page material, and diagram plays on your hand. Remember to count to five Mississippi before commenting in anger.
Most idiotic trick play ever ... but it worked.

I guarantee you if Doug Flutie was still playing, you'd see the same play this week.

Apologies if this was linked earlier, but it's like one of those old Matt Christopher kids books come to life: The Coach Who Never Punts.

Again, the two-point conversion is the time to roll this stuff out. Now opposing defenses have to consider this for the rest of the season when they gameplan for Bethel.

Keep your eye on the quarterback instead of the ball. He gets blasted in the back by the defense.
