Western Michigan's absurd trick play only nets 5 yards

In its last game of the season, Western Michigan couldn't hold anything back.

As the Broncos were trying to rally against Wisconsin in Monday's Cotton Bowl, Western Michigan went with a trick play that included a handoff, lateral, pass back to quarterback Zach Terrell and then a pass across the field to wide receiver Corey Davis. All for about five yards.

The play started at the Western Michigan 44-yard line, and at one point, the ball went back to the 29. That was a lot work.

But to be fair, plays with that many moving components can easily go terribly wrong and result in a turnover or huge loss. The Broncos turned that adventure into positive yardage, so I guess it was a success.
