In most running plays during a football game when there's a crowd of linebackers in your face, the coach usually advises the player to just go down, declare the play over and move on to the next one.
Although we don't know what city, town or state these kids are from, it appears that one player on this high school football team hasn't taken heed to basic football tactics. Instead he tries to ... make something out of nothing and fails horribly, making this the worst high school football play ever.
From the snap of the ball, it's apparent that the defense didn't fall for the handoff to the fullback, so the play was blown from the start. The quarterback scrambles to the left, and seeing that he's about to get sacked, tosses it to his running back - which is a really bad toss - and the running back proceeds to run the other way.
We're sure at this point the running back is now trying to avoid being tackled, as if he was playing a game of keep-away.
It takes two defenders to take him down, which would be great if he was running the other way, but as he was going down, he throws the football in the air.
Was he hoping a teammate would be around to catch it and run it 100 yards in the other direction for a touchdown?
Wasn't going to happen.
The entire defense is already there, and they recover the football in the end zone, giving them probably the easiest touchdown ever.
