That was a great call and play by spurrier and executed well by the quarterback but you have to have a great offensive line to pull that off. Look at how much time they had in the backfield.
My friends and I and bunch of other guys we used to play football with did something like this a few years ago. But we called it "The Double Huddle". It's a sweet ass play, that's for sure.
He's hardcore and nothing short of winning and dominance is satisfactory with him. Look at how much he's improved South Carolina. He'd be hard to play for, but the man gets the job done.
The thing that makes this play extra good is how Spurrier made all the players blurry. That made it extra hard for the defense to tell who had the ball.
Yeah, I love seeing these old plays run too. Looks like something they would've run back in Doak Walker's day. Most teams just don't have the line to pull it off, though.
@aeb1722 Speaking of trick plays, I could be mistaken, but I believe it was that SEC CG against 'Bama that Spurrier pulled out the now-legendary Emory & Henry formation, forcing 'Bama to burn one of its timeouts and still managing to get a first down out of it despite that.
1992 Sugar Bowl vs WVa. Best hit of the game was by Monty Grow on Studstill, was hit so hard by Monty, that when the QB got off the ground, he was trying to snap his chinstrap to the middle of his helmet! Ol' SOS always had a trick or 2 up his sleeve.
Yeah, have seen similar on kick-off before and surprised teams don't try it there more often. Not sure but think there is a rule that they can't hide the ball under their jersey or something though.
So funny, I went to the same High School as Chris Bilkie. He was a little before my time, but man what a beast in high school...rushed for 1000 yards as a FULLBACK. Go Canes Go!!!
That’s the single wing offense. We had a team that ran that . I was one of the guys that had to learn it and run it for practice. I really like the style
Also -- The most memorable moment of the WVU game was Monty Grow's textbook hit on QB Darren Studstill. Grow set, leaned down and went upwards into Studstill, stopping Studstill like a brick wall. This was demonstrated as Studstill came back to the huddle befuddled and confused, with his helmet chinstrap fastened across his nose. Yes, HIS NOSE. The coaches failed to realize how stunned he was, and, instead of calling a timeout, allowed the play to continue, and Studstill threw an interception.
Funny thing is, my high school team just did this play, except on a kick off. Our guys huddled up and the one who got the ball ran it all the way for a touchdown. Pretty much took all of the wind out of the other team and we won by 10.
Florida was no doubt going to beat the piss out of WVU in this game. Being an Alabama fan, I believe we were 9-2 when we played the Gators in the SEC Championship game in Legion Field, and we got kicked in the ass by the Gators 28-13.

equipment changed so much now notice how you watch this video and there shoulder pads are large as hell but now days there small and the helmets were way different in the 1970's and below
@samxyx I remember seeing a smaller school do it, like Central Michigan. I remember they would do it when they played Florida in the mid 90s. Every kick off return they'd huddle together, and then scatter, but they stopped after Sam McCorkle for UF sprinted and dove into the huddle, knocking them down like bowling pins. Man I wish I had that on tape!
@franklintheturtle455 Worse still, Spurrier had already been warned about the main problem Nebraska took advantage of. Supposedly the Colorado coach at the time, Neuheisel, was visiting UF with his crew to learn from our system. While watching game film, Neuheisel said, "What, in your blocking scheme, is going to stop the opposition from using player 'x'?". Spurrier, rather over-confidently said, "No one ever does that." Well, it's exactly the bread and butter play Nebraska used on us.
Yea one friend of mine have played rugby in England, and he says that most of brits hate football, pref rugby than this tupperware game soccer.He plays now defensive end in our team :D
@drumguyrobc This statement could not be more wrong. Trick plays often result in TD's but that is not NEARLY there sole purpose. A trick play is simply designed to catch the other team off guard in an attempt to gain yardage, usually if overly successful they will end up in a TD simply because they're usually played close to the endzone. My school (Air Force) ran a trick play on a punt this year in the Advocare bowl on 4th down (fake punt) to get a first down, no intentions of a TD.
guess who recruited tim tebow and percy harvin? and left Urban meyer a playbook and the coaching staff n all that good stuff like brandon spikes and major wright? steve spurrier, he practically gave meyer the keys to a Chevelle, in a sense
I'm in England, and me and my friends have recently gotten into AF. Its probably one of the few good things if not the only good thing America has done.

Mick Hubert and Lee McGriff with the call. Gonna miss their enthusiasm and teamwork.
He's hardcore and nothing short of winning and dominance is satisfactory with him. Look at how much he's improved South Carolina. He'd be hard to play for, but the man gets the job done.
That's an awesome play. That may be the best one ever.
awww i'm glad football seasons back!
that probably was the highlight of that linemans season i love it when we get the ball
We practiced this play all the time in pee wee football. We never ran the play in the game though. Thanks coach!
Wish we could try something like this at South Carolina!!!
Wow, this is brilliant, and unique for a trick play. Awesome!
The thing that makes this play extra good is how Spurrier made all the players blurry. That made it extra hard for the defense to tell who had the ball.
For some reason I got this on my recommended.

This makes me remember about Eyeshield 21 trick play
just amazing
they broke the huddle with 12 on the field...
branchan1313 Five yard penalty and they would've run the play again
But he wasn’t in the huddle.
Good trick play and boy I miss Chris Bilkie and Spurrier.
you have a good point there, they should have a guy that is looking down the field so he will tell them who to give it to.
I've watched this 10 times and I still can't find it.

the linemen did a good job of hold their blocks. if one block is missed that play is DONE haha
haha thats the first time i've seen that play...takes a good o-line to pull it off, i like it :)
Yeah, have seen similar on kick-off before and surprised teams don't try it there
more often. Not sure but think there is a rule that they can't hide the ball under their jersey or something though.
I love trick plays one of the things in football that allows you to get creative

love steve spurrior
lol, this is funny. I used to do this all the time playing school yard football I never thought they would do it at the collegiate level
it's called going up-tempo or no huddle. It gives it time or replays, too.

okay men this was a very good trick.
loved it

This is why college football will always been more entertaining than the snoozefest I see on Sundays.
Interesting. He tried the same play with Duke in the 1989 All-American Bowl vs. Texas Tech, but it didn't work.
thats an AWESOME play lol.
That's awesome.
Nice play !!! perfectly legal!!! perfectly done !!! Wow!! The defence is like * wtf happen?*
@fishoutofwater121 it wasnt a lineman? it was a running back, he was in the back field
I had to watch it 5 times to be able to see who had it
Rofl I love how the announcer puts on a John Wayne voice.
The cameraman did a good job. He wasn't fooled.
Ah the Huddle of Death.
Brian Schottenheimer played at Florida? Well, held the clipboard at Florida?
this is awesome
Awesome i have respect for spurrier
Florida was no doubt going to beat the piss out of WVU in this game. Being an Alabama fan, I believe we were 9-2 when we played the Gators in the SEC Championship game in Legion Field, and we got kicked in the ass by the Gators 28-13.
he shudda waited for that block.
I would love to see this tonight against Clemson
i looked at it over and over where did the dude that got the ball come from i didnt see him run over to the huddle thing or run colse
Well, that escalated quickly....
Steve Spurrier tried the hidden ball trick
Tried? He DID do the hidden ball trick!
HAHAHA Hit 7 repeatidly for booty dance + him saying SNAP SNAP SNAP :D!
Hey I played in JUCO with #15 for West Virginia, (The one who made the tackle) he wasnt fooled by the old ball coaches tricks! WE ARE TC!
very cool play
the #15 on the defense did well in noticing hus the ball carrier early tho
And so it began . . . the play that launched Eric Kresser's illustrious career.
nice that was a good play.

this is pretty cool!!
he'd never be able to do something like this at South Carolina
equipment changed so much now notice how you watch this video and there shoulder pads are large as hell but now days there small and the helmets were way different in the 1970's and below
"Is that Tebow" lol haha

Man I wish I had that on tape!
that was sweet...
the old ball coach did it again
that why we all love college football
Goood idea!!! i need do it same this!!
here we go razzle dazzle hidden ball trick
@franklintheturtle455

lmfao number 81 from the opposing team was like wtf weres the ball haha !!
LOL UGA Fan here and I'm stil;l freaking waitin on that man to either retire or go to another conference. Haha
"thats the hidden ball trick" shot bro.
it s beautiful
at first i thought his teammate tackled him until i watched it again and saw the defender barely grab his leg.
haha they should have more plays like that
Yea one friend of mine have played rugby in England, and he says that most of brits hate football, pref rugby than this tupperware game soccer.He plays now defensive end in our team :D

CAPS LOCK: IT'S LIKE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.
guess who recruited tim tebow and percy harvin? and left Urban meyer a playbook and the coaching staff n all that good stuff like brandon spikes and major wright?
steve spurrier, he practically gave meyer the keys to a Chevelle, in a sense
Who was Florida playing in this game? I can't recognize their opponents' uniforms.
The Gator linemen tackled the runner. Somehow that's not surprising.
@aeb1722 then it musta hurt ya when they lost 62-24 in the 95 season?
You know I don't think I have ever seen Spurrier use a trick play during his time at Carolina.
i saw some college do this during a kick return but I forget who, anybody else remember?
LOL Spurrier is da man.
Ah, this trick called "KILLER HORNET"
wow number 15 on the defense made that play!
that was pretty cool
Keeping rewinding video to see how he got the ball... THEN they show a slow-motion replay.
Im not a florida fan, but meyer as you said 2/3 championships and years is amazing. spurrier hasn't made the gamecocks champs over night
But Spurrier paid for those trick plays later in his career! Use yo watch him shake his like like “damn! I use to do that!”
I didn't even know where the ball was until they tackled the runner.
Haha that tricked the play head on my viewer!!! It got ahead of the buffer line!!! Lmao! Go Gators!
I would have handed it to a pulling guard if it's legal. Or if not set it on the ground and have the center reach backwards and pick it up.
awesome
what was the final score?
what movie ran that same play?
pretty damn good line if they were able to run that play!
I'm in England, and me and my friends have recently gotten into AF. Its probably one of the few good things if not the only good thing America has done.
