Hidden ball trick play helps Indiana State beat Missouri State (Video)
Indiana State reached into its bag of tricks during a home game against Missouri State Saturday afternoon.
After Missouri State went ahead 18-17 with a field goal with 42 seconds to go, the Sycamores were set to receive the kickoff. Instead of kicking it deep, MSU went with a shorter, squib kick and the ball was fielded by ISU running back Dimitri Taylor at the 28-yard line.
Taylor then immediately huddled together with four teammates and flawlessly executed the hidden ball trick. The ball somehow ended up in the hands of Aaron Killebrew, who took off for 32 yards to give the Sycamores great field position at the MSU 38-yard line.
The ISU offense moved the ball down to the 20-yard line and Eric Heidorn booted the game-winning 38-yard field goal.
The win improved Indiana State’s record to 6-3 on the season.
