Division III school scores 70-yard TD after pass goes off defender's heel

http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/ncaaf-dr-saturday/division-iii-school-scores-70-yard-td-after-pass-goes-off-defender-s-heel--video-140138118.html

Hanover College was playing Earlham on Saturday in a Division III game when Hanover QB Chase Lightfoot threw a deep pass to WR Tanner Parker, who had a step on double coverage down the field. The pass was underthrown, but instead of being intercepted, it ricocheted off a defender's heel and into the air.

Ricky Windell, a receiver for Hanover, was behind the pass, and he snatched it out of the air and ran it in for a 70-yard touchdown. Yes. Really. The play is absolutely incredible, but we don't think schools are going to start throwing at defenders' feet in the hopes of completing more plays like this one.

Hanover won the game 49-34.

My alma mater (Southwestern University) is a D-3 university and we set a Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference attendance record (5,900+) last year when we reactivated the football team after a 63 year hiatus. We take on Trinity University this weekend for Homecoming hoping to get our second win this season. It should be a close game even though our entire team is first-year and sophomore students.

Trinity University was the team that made it into the record books with a game-ending touchdown against Millsaps involving 11 laterals.
