I think it was 15. They interviewed the coach after and that's what the video title said...
Amazing play. Not rugby like at all. In rugby, it is all lateral passing, but we form a line and it is far smoother.

Maybe we should import a few rugby players....... :wink:

Isn't a rugby field considerably wider than an NFL field? An NFL field is 160 feet wide.

My first impression was that the defense was pretty bad.
The whole play seemed more like middle-schoolers playing for fun at recess than it seemed a shining example of how college football can push the envelope of human athletic achievement.
Still it was fun listening to the announcers lose their grip.

Rugby fields are 650 feet wide and 1,250 feet long. The goals are made of razor wire and sharpened bamboo sticks.
It is not true that they keep crocodiles in moats that surround the field. The crocodlles wander wherever they like.

Trinity University (Texas) versus Millsaps College (Mississippi) in a Division III Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference game in Jackson, Mississippi.
I can't believe that the Millsaps guys were so tired that they quit. The man that scored caught the ball and ran right through four defenders that were standing and made no effort to tackle him.
Afterward, the camera shot has various Millsap players (purple jerseys) laying all over the field like they were dead. Conditioning?
An unreal play, though. All the laterals were legit. It's amazing that they players kept their concentration. The pros usually do far worse than these kids did.

I wonder if teams practice that. It may sound crazy, but maybe they should. I remember the Harlem Globetrotters running their famous "weave." If that could be adapted to the football field, you might have something. Just have all eleven guys running in kind of a half circle. Sort of looks like what went on here.
