Does the point of the ball need to be up a bit more than the rest of the ball?

That’s probably my favorite trick play of all time, even more than the fumbleroosky.

Thanks for these blast from the past posts!

If I remember correctly tom was really criticized for being to conservative because Barry pull a couple of trick plays to beat us. So tom started getting innovative, I might be wrong but I thought tom mentioned they saw the fumble roosky in a high school game in western Nebraska

My answer is the QB has to loudly say something like "Oh Sh*t"

I doubt Turner Gill said anything more than "dadgummitt".

It worked for me once as a QB with some work buddies. "Oh sh*t! Incomplete!"

Not a TD but a big gain.

You want the nose slightly down so it comes bchb up. Otherwise it will just reflect rather than bounce
