In the final seconds of a Division III college football game last weekend, the Trinity University Tigers pulled off a 62-second, 61-yard, 15-lateral play to win the game. Fifteen lateral passes is a pretty tough feat, and calling a game like that might be just as challenging. Jonathan Wiener, the play-by-play announcer for Trinity, kept his cool while he called every single pass, naming each player as he touched the ball. His announcing has since been heard by 300,000 people on YouTube. Wiener talks with Weekend America guest host John Moe about the amazing game.
