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.
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.
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.
@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.
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!!!
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.
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.
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.
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.
@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!
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
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.
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
@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

@TideatMileHigh it took a fluke fake punt by our punter Shayne Edge and a long TD pass to defeat bama, but otherwise, it was a very close game! Haha i enjoyed seeing us beating the mountaineers in this one!.
@SlashMan405 yes, that is true, but believe me these kids on the football team could get in with a 2.3 GPA if they were good enough, hell tebow, although a good student i believe, could get in with basically anything he wanted at a school where sports is SO important.

Wish we could try something like this at South Carolina!!!
Wow, this is brilliant, and unique for a trick play. Awesome!
We practiced this play all the time in pee wee football. We never ran the play in the game though. Thanks coach!
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.
That's an awesome play. That may be the best one ever.
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.
Mick Hubert and Lee McGriff with the call. Gonna miss their enthusiasm and teamwork.

haha thats the first time i've seen that play...takes a good o-line to pull it off, i like it :)
Good trick play and boy I miss Chris Bilkie and Spurrier.
This makes me remember about Eyeshield 21 trick play
that probably was the highlight of that linemans season i love it when we get the ball

awww i'm glad football seasons back!
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!!!
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.
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.

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
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.
For some reason I got this on my recommended.
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
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.
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!
I love trick plays one of the things in football that allows you to get creative
it's called going up-tempo or no huddle. It gives it time or replays, too.
@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.

This is why college football will always been more entertaining than the snoozefest I see on Sundays.
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
the #15 on the defense did well in noticing hus the ball carrier early tho
okay men this was a very good trick.
loved it
thats an AWESOME play lol.
Nice play !!! perfectly legal!!! perfectly done !!! Wow!! The defence is like * wtf happen?*
haha they should have more plays like that
The cameraman did a good job. He wasn't fooled.
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.
Interesting. He tried the same play with Duke in the 1989 All-American Bowl vs. Texas Tech, but it didn't work.
I would love to see this tonight against Clemson
love steve spurrior
Brian Schottenheimer played at Florida? Well, held the clipboard at Florida?
very cool play
he'd never be able to do something like this at South Carolina
Kresser had a really good Sr year at Marshall throwing to Moss.
@fishoutofwater121 it wasnt a lineman? it was a running back, he was in the back field
HAHAHA Hit 7 repeatidly for booty dance + him saying SNAP SNAP SNAP :D!
Goood idea!!! i need do it same this!!
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
Rofl I love how the announcer puts on a John Wayne voice.
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.
nice that was a good play.
Keeping rewinding video to see how he got the ball... THEN they show a slow-motion replay.
pretty damn good line if they were able to run that play!
I didn't even know where the ball was until they tackled the runner.
Awesome i have respect for spurrier
@kbotpop You betcha. Because it's fun. And each game still means something. I'll have the NFL on if I need a nap.
Steve Spurrier tried the hidden ball trick
Tried? He DID do the hidden ball trick!
That's awesome.
Yes... Tebow played for the Gators 60 years ago.
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
@franklintheturtle455

yeah carolina has a beast coach!
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
he shudda waited for that block.
You know I don't think I have ever seen Spurrier use a trick play during his time at Carolina.
lmfao number 81 from the opposing team was like wtf weres the ball haha !!
Computer: Invented by Babbage, English. The World Wide Web (aka the Internet as we all know it): Tim Berners-Lee, English. My dinner: Shepherd's pie made with British farmed lamb.
Oh, we also created America too. Just thought I'd throw that in.
My high school team ran this, except on a kickoff return, and brought it back for a TD
LOL UGA Fan here and I'm stil;l freaking waitin on that man to either retire or go to another conference. Haha
CAPS LOCK: IT'S LIKE CRUISE CONTROL FOR COOL.
And so it began . . . the play that launched Eric Kresser's illustrious career.
i saw some college do this during a kick return but I forget who, anybody else remember?
"Is that Tebow" lol haha
at first i thought his teammate tackled him until i watched it again and saw the defender barely grab his leg.
@TideatMileHigh it took a fluke fake punt by our punter Shayne Edge and a long TD pass to defeat bama, but otherwise, it was a very close game! Haha i enjoyed seeing us beating the mountaineers in this one!.
that why we all love college football
"thats the hidden ball trick" shot bro.
The Gator linemen tackled the runner. Somehow that's not surprising.
I like Amercian sport.Basketball and Amercian Football are so interesting.Huge Fan of the Redskins and the Golden State Warriors
Haha that tricked the play head on my viewer!!! It got ahead of the buffer line!!! Lmao! Go Gators!
the old ball coach did it again
Well, that escalated quickly....
here we go razzle dazzle hidden ball trick
great tackle by #15
Damn, his visor already came off?!
handegg looks fun
Ah the Huddle of Death.
wow number 15 on the defense made that play!
"Goal Cup doesnt care anybody." .......Ain't nobody got time fo that!
God damn you need crazy blocking for a play like that to work!
this is awesome
@SlashMan405 yes, that is true, but believe me these kids on the football team could get in with a 2.3 GPA if they were good enough, hell tebow, although a good student i believe, could get in with basically anything he wanted at a school where sports is SO important.
good play, run this on the five yard line going in
that qb eric kresser ended up transferring to marshall and breaking records with randy moss.
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.
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
we ran something like that in high school
