Lolol. Scholarly tackle football is so much fun because of plays like this one. The situation is that Old Miss in white has this one play to make one yard or else they have to kick the football, giving possession to  Ala Bahma.

The first still shows the classroom right before the experiment begins. In that line of five scholars in white shirts bent over the waist is one, Big Butt. Big Butt has the ball. His task is to pass the ball between his legs backward to the passer, standing upright on the 30-yard line. Passer will then pass the ball to one of the two white-shirted guys at the top of the photo to get the dreamed for one yard and avoid the holocaust of kicking the ball to Ala Bahma. That's the plan for this experiment. It's a bit of a complicated experiment to achieve one yard and fraught with risk, but that's the plan.
Right from the beginning the experiment hits the air pump. Ole Big Butt passed the ball too high and here Passer is able only to get a hand on it and tip it in the air. Danger lurks.

Danger Cometh. The ball is still in the air, passer waiting for it to drop into his hands, and that Ala Bahma guy just inside the 30-yard line is bearing down on passer with malice aforethought. He outweighs passer by about 100 lbs.


The ball comes down into Passer's hands and Danger is now within two yards and closing. This makes Passer sad.


Squish. Passer is lifted off his feets by Danger. He throws the ball, a brownish blur. At this point the experiment has a low chance of success. At this point Passer's life has a low chance of success.


Defenseless, Passer's intended recipient awaits the ball's drop as two Ala Bahamians prepare to squish. 


Intended Recipient disappears under red #29's assault as the ball bobs in the air.


Holy Canoli. The ball bobs in the air still but now it looks like it may fall into the hands of another white shirt, looks like #8.


It do. 


Touchdown Mississippi! Just like the professor drawed it up.
