The play that won the T.C. Williams Titans the 1971 Virginia state championship lives right on the border of what one might consider a “trick” play. It doesn’t have a traditionally “fun” name, nor does it brush right up against what many would deem illegal—two prevalent hallmarks of this list. But what it lacks in outlandishness, it makes up for in implausibility. Here’s the situation: Down in the waning seconds of the game, the Titans need a score to win the championship. Coach Ned Yoast (Will Patton) tells head coach Herman Boone that the Titans will, “Have to throw something at” the opposing team that they’re not ready for.
So what does Denzel do? He puts in his former starting quarterback (“Rev”) who’s missed nearly the entire season due to injury (and hasn’t played in months), and then runs a reverse from the team’s own 25-yard-line with the actual starting quarterback (“Sunshine”) as the lead blocker. Because this is a (supremely entertaining) movie where rampant racism can be solved by a few renditions of “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” and an early-morning jog to Gettysburg, Rev runs 75 yards untouched into the end zone. Titans win; racism loses. Actually, that is quite the trick, but the play still doesn’t have quite the “wow” factor to launch it into the top six.
