DaBore's (maybe Grubby's) apple cup handoff/pitch to Odunze was a much superior design. But if you are going for a play that should not have worked you picked a great one. Rome's play would work against anyone. Ball coach's play - flip a coin. Do you feel lucky? Well, do ya?
I played football for the Sammamish Bengals for many years. One year our DC came up with the "Bengal Blitz". We sent all eleven guys toward the ball. As I recall, we ran the play twice, gave up two touchdowns.
