The design of Central Michigan’s Hail Mary-plus-a-lateral to beat No. 22 Oklahoma State should be admired. Reminiscent of Boise State’s “Hook and Lateral” stunner from the 2007 Fiesta Bowl against Oklahoma, Chippewas quarterback Cooper Rush found receiver Jesse Kroll at the nine-yard-line, and Kroll pitched a perfect lateral to fellow receiver Corey Willis, who broke to the opposite side of the field and scored the game-winning touchdown to secure a stunning 30–27 upset. The perfect execution was worthy of the intricate design. It’s a play that should make any 2016 top-10 list.
Seriously, it’s awesome. Just watch!
