Wait, you’ve never seen the old clips of how Wisconsin did this bounce pass for at least a decade (the initial pass, not the fake). It’s an old school classic. Of course it’s on purpose.

the play is by design.. solid trick play.. QB throwback… backwards passes are great because the defense cant really tell if it was foward or backwards or on purpose or an accident… if you have turf or really short cut grass you can do it whenever.. my team ran it for a touchdown because the defense stopped because the ball hit the ground

it is possible to bounce a football the way you want to if you throw it right.. looks just like a bounce pass in basketball.. yes it is difficult but once you learn how to do it, its pretty easy to do it consistently..

also it was definitely designed because the z was running a 9 (a go route) and wouldn’t have just been sitting out there after the play was over like he did..

notice how he takes off after faking out the safety yet before the slot even lifted the ball up to throw.. designed play right there

Definitely a trick play… pretty shitty one though, even though it worked here. A lot of things can go wrong.

I’m with Nathan: “Did ya hear a whistle?” No, “then hit that motherfucker so hard his grand kids feel the pain”

Gotta drill it into these kids that you play hard till you hear a whistle & if your gonna hit someone hit’em like he’s been banging your girl.

its a legit trick play. its supposed to trick the defense into thinking its a dead forward pass. then you make the throw. doesn’t always work out. this did

it is for sure a trick play, i ran it in high school. the quarterback passes it backwards (a lateral) and on the ground, which is a fumble, and the D thinks it was a incomplete pass

I have seen the bounce pass by design, so it is just a trick play. Supposed to fool the other team it is an incompletion so they don’t tackle the kid with the ball. But of course, always play to the whistle.

also no whistle that CB should have to walk home for not drilling the shit out of that WR
