Arkansas State runs ‘Hide the Midget’ play

It’s not really a thing you should say. But that’s what the play is called.

Arkansas State treated us to this rarest of beasts in the GoDaddy Bowl: the hidden player trick. Or, ugh, “Hide the Midget,” as the play is actually called. It’s awesome either way.

Let’s try to think of some more appropriate names for this play, shall we?

- Leprechaun in Space
- The Desolation of Smaug
- Bride of Chucky
- Danny DeVito Delight
- The Flutie
- Forced Perspective
- The Princess and the Pea
- Full Altuve
- Skee-Lo Was Right
- The itsy bitsy teenie weenie football player (and he’s behind the linemen oh man what a riot)

Let’s hear your suggestion in the comments below!
