Is it really a trick play? The offense was not in traditional stances, etc. but they were lined up correctly and the lineman were imitating statues and none of the backs were moving, something was up. The ball was snapped cleanly and the DB over the target receiver was not fooled. One of the first things I remember being taught my first year of tackle football, at age 9, is when the ball is snapped you go!
And most teams have been pulling out all the stops against Trinity and still losing. Shiloh Christian, Arkansas 4A Champ with future Auburn QB Kiehl Frazier, played them in September and had to resort to trickery to get most of their 26 points while Trinity pretty much just pounded away to get their 80.
