This is just plain hilarious... A college football team is down by 3 points. They have 2 seconds left on the clock, and go for it. What results is a 61yd, 14 lateral play.

Oh, I've seen that type of stuff before in rugby o.o It's always proved to be a desperate move.

I.. don't get it. :|
Does doing this lateral thing not count into the play time or what?

Explain this for me so whe I'm forced to watch Bears games in the future I don't have to ask the rabid fans around me.

Craig, you should try to fake a coma in order to avoid having to watch it!

Unlike Soccer or Basketball, Football will continue to play well after time 'expires'... The game/period will be over when either a) when the Quarterback throws an incomplete pass or b) when the person carrying the ball is tackled/trips and his knees touch the ground.

A lateral is when the Quarterback, instead of throwing the football down the field, pitches it sideways. It's a common play. What makes this clip special is the fact they do it 14 times and end up scoring a game winning touchdown.
