In 2007, Trinity was trailing Millsaps with just seconds to go in its game, but pulled off one of the greatest comebacks in college football history with an amazing 15-lateral play after a pass completion. Though the game matched two Div. III schools who didn't play on national TV, the video of Trinity's miraculous lateral-fest went viral and launched the two schools into the national spotlight for at least a while. Now, four years later, the players and coaches involved in the play still have trouble believing it all came together. Trinity's coach, in fact, said it would have been hard to complete 15 laterals "against air." My story on the play for ESPN.com's "Behind the Highlights" series for Page 2:
