Both teams are set, and the quarterback (who's a good shotgun quarterback by the way) goes under center and....yup, you guessed it, spiked the ball, giving the Visitors the ball with just a couple seconds left on the clock. Visitors celebrating and getting their offense out to take a knee, Home looking at the quarterback in bewilderment, and Home coaches holding their heads in disbelief. It took the poor kid a moment to realize what he had done. Bizarre ending.

We had that this year too.
