REPLY: Uh...I don't know...maybe about where the QB's body parts are buried !?!?

What year was this? Don't remember anything like this happening in the last 10 years at least and probably didn't happen in the last 20 years.

Only thing wierd happening in a state championship game in the last 10 years that I remember was a field goal attempt that would have won the game but it hit an upright. This was a college field and only one team was kicking field goals and extra points.
