Georgia Football: Hollywood Trick Plays That’ll Help Georgia
The Georgia football team needs to look deep into their playbook to come out with a win against the Gators this weekend.
Bring on the magic!
Hollywood is a make-believe world where people’s dreams come to life on screen, but what happens in this city is not representative of real life.
Not so fast my friend. Lee Corso is in town.

The Bulldogs are on the verge of having a catastrophic season, and to say that their offense may be the reason is an understatement. What is the cure for a team that cannot put points on the board? Movie night, baby.
Dust off that old VCR and plug it back into the wall. Check out some of those classic Hollywood sports flicks that make everybody feel good inside. Grab a pen and a notepad and draw up the plays that made some of the greatest cinematic teams great. That old remote still allows for rewinding so there is no chance it will be missed.
Here’s a head start at where to look:
- Fake 23 blast with a backside George reverse (Remember The Titans)
All-hail coach Herman Boone. He is a visionary without a headset.
“Why are they bringing in a QB?”
And so begin the greatest trickery of all. Here’s the key: find an injured quarterback on the roster. If there are none, then have all of the backups run a 40-yard dash and pick the fastest one.
Call in the play. Lambert, who might as well be injured, dishes the ball on a toss sweep to Sony Michel. All at once, Sony hands the ball to Rev who lined up as a receiver and is coming around the other way after the snap. Did I say Rev? Man, that guy is quick. Mr. Jerry Harris was overlooked in recruiting by the Dawgs, so just hand the ball off to that second-stringer Bryce Ramsey.

Then, and this is very crucial, Sunshine becomes the lead blocker for Ramsey after the initial handoff. His golden locks will pave the way for anyone to get to the end zone. If only Lambert had long-flowing hair this team would be a national title contender. As they race down the field together in unison they leave those Gator defenders in the dust. Touchdown! And that is how Georgia can score more than they did against Missouri.
- Gap (The Blind Side)
“Hello? Enough with the trick plays Bert. Run the dang ball.”
Not a trick play, but this play is the reason Michael Oher got a college scholarship to Ole Miss, right?
John Theus can play Michael Oher on this one. His skillset is through the roof although he may be underperforming this year. This play is simple, and I mean so stinking simple.
Hand the ball off to Michel or Marshall or Douglas. Honestly, it really does not matter who gets the ball because Michael Oher/John Theus is on the team. Said running back takes the handoff and runs straight off the guard’s behind on the left side. At the snap, Theus’ five-hour energy kicks in, and he becomes a madman. As he blocks Mr. no name defensive end down the field and into a trash can, Georgia’s runner with the ball (continuing to emphasize that it matters in no way who it is) follows the gigantic hole into the end zone for six.
Advice: practice this play with kitchen spices before running it on the field.
- The Annexation of Puerto Rico (The Little Giants)
“Spike don’t play with girls.”
Well Spike, it was all downhill from there for you buddy.
Some people like to call this play the fumblerooski. To those folks I say screw you. There is no better play name in the history of football than The Annexation of Puerto Rico.
High IQ quarterback Lambert has to use his brainpower on this one. Line the tailback up directly next to the quarterback. After receiving the snap, the smart, two-degree, straight A’s throughout college quarterback sneaks the ball into the chest of the runner. Then, he continues running to the right as if he never handed the ball off. The line follows him. While the defense is worried about tackling Lambert on a quarterback sneak (for some strange reason), the running back sprints left into the end zone for an easy, walk in the park score.
Thank you Little Giants for showing the world that peewee football is the most exciting and important sporting event of our time.
- The Oopty Oop (Varsity Blues)
“I need five wide receivers. We’re running the oopty oop. No tight ends. No receivers.”
Get all of that mess out of here. Who needs to run the ball? Stack four receivers on the left side, preferably the four that are not as good as the best guy the team has. For all intensive purposes for the Dawgs, put Malcolm Mitchell on the right side alone. I hope the coaches would have already thought about that prior to running this play.
When the ball is snapped, the four receivers on the left all run different routes to force the defense to shade to their side. At the same time, Mitchell runs a 15-yard post route. He has to beat his defender one-on-one. If the Dawgs best receiver cannot do this, then Georgia has some problems. The middle of the field is left wide open for Lambert to make one of his few decent downfield passes. 50-yard touchdown. Boom!
Give up for Hollywood. They have somehow mastered the art of scoring, which is something the Dawgs cannot say.
There is no problem in ‘borrowing’ plays, especially if you need it. Give the fans something to cheer about Georgia.
