The play begins normally enough with Monte Anthony (49) carrying the ball (1) and Dan Schmidt (51) and Steve Hoins (78) blocking Tim Helm (38) and Tom Hodge (57), respectively.

Strange things begin when Anthony loses the ball and teammate Dave Shamhlin (81) hurdles after it (4) to Catch Shamblin tumbles and get close enough to get a hand on the bounding pigskin (5).
