Arkansas Burns Down Ole Miss's Barn with an Insane Lateral

You'll never see something quite like this.

It's the kind of situation your coach would have you visualize at the end of practice. "It's 4th and 25 in must-win overtime and you have the ball…." What do you do? It's unlikely that your coach would include, "…and you're inches from the ground after getting tackled by the No. 18 team in the country." Because that's just some kind of doomsday scenario.

Well, not for Arkansas. While being taken down by two-man coverage, Arkansas tight end Hunter Henry has the gumption—nay, the cajones—to toss the ball behind him in what is likely to be the riskiest lateral you'll ever see in the sport of football. Ole Miss even started celebrating on the sidelines before the play was over. But it wasn't over.

The ensuing scramble came up Arkansas, as defensive back Alex Collins scooped up the ball and ran for a literally-unbelievable first down to keep the Razorbacks alive. Then this happened:

Just as Arkansas planned it.

UPDATE:

Arkansas coach Bret Bielema was so excited about the win, he had this to say:
