If its legal it's legal

I thought there was a rule where you had to walk at least to the numbers before getting set?

RandySavage•28 months

That's if you're coming on. The guy was coming off so technically he came from inside the numbers.

Didn't they outlaw that in college?

Neilfish•28 months

It’s illegal

legal

Legal, but pretty jacked to fake an injury to score.

The ole 'Hideout' play

Howard Schnellenberger denounced the use of the play: "We had to come up with some good plays at the end there to win it, but we did force them to resort to the fricking fumblerooski. I told them before the game if those bastards have to run the fumblerooski, come to the sidelines and party because they have given up their right of manhood."

They won this game 35-7, then lost in the state finals 27-24.

That’s good to hear.

It is illegal participation: d. To use a player, replaced player or substitute in a substitution or pretended substitution to deceive opponents at or immediately before the snap or free kick.

lame

If there was a sub, wouldn't there be too many players on the field?? Doesn't the sub have to check in with the official?? Was the official checking to see if he was lined up correctly?? Should be a unsportsmanlike penalty in any event.

Wish he would have dropped it.

We call it "The wounded animal play", back in my leather helmet days. There's nothing new under the sun.

If I faced them again in the future, they wouldn't need to fake any injuries.

I remember Acadiana doing that same play (although we didn’t fake an injury, subbed 1 player with 2 running off the field with 1 staying inbounds) to beat archbishop Shaw in 1999 36-35.

Local HS did this also in state semi. But it was on a KO (inside) and didn’t fake an injury/substitution. Player just hung out

Embarrassing for them. But that how most will get through life.

AussieRock•28 months

What a pathetic display. "Oh look. We figured out how to cheat and get away with it" is basically what that play tells me.

Classless and bush league
