Today's Tidbit... Vanderbilt Tricks LSU

It is not often that an opponent’s trick play makes it into your yearbook, but that happened after Vanderbilt snuck one by LSU in 1937. The trick play provided the Commodores' only touchdown of the game as they defeated LSU 7-6. It was the Tigers’ only regular-season loss, though Santa Clara beat them in the 1938 Sugar Bowl.

The play began with Vanderbilt in the Single Wing unbalanced to the left. The quarterback, Reinschmidt, aligned behind the left guard. Hinkle, the center, snapped to the quarterback as all four backs began sweeping to the left.
