Fat guy throws a TD for Arkansas.

And breaks out the heisman pose.

That was awsome. And the long snapper caught it.

Thought it was great but how is it legal?

I thought linemen couldn't catch a pass. It's usually called as illegal touching, isn't it?

And I'm assuming there's nothing in the rulebook about linemen not being able to throw a pass.

Snapper was the last down lineman on the left side, so he was an eligible receiver.

Kinda surprised they used a play like this against UAB and didn't save it for a SEC team.

Gotcha

Makes you wonder why coaches haven't tried something like this before or more often.

I'm not terribly surprised they brought it out against UAB. Gives them a chance to practice it in a low-pressure situation and now every team left on their schedule has something unusual to think about.

My question is why run that play up 21-0 in a game you are heavily favored?

Mine too.

Because you're not brave enough or confident enough to run it in a game where it may come back to bite you if you screw it up.

It was a cool play to watch, but I think half the SEC defenses would have stopped it. My guess is that they'll line up that way in a future SEC game (hoping the defense bites on the play) then do something different with it.
