I can now, officially, die a happy and contented man.
In the second quarter of Arkansas’ game against UAB this afternoon, arguably the greatest touchdown in the history of college football -- or any level of football for that matter -- was scored as Sebastian Tretola tossed a six-yard “strike” to Alan D’Appollonio. The greatness lies in the particulars: Tretola is a 350-pound offensive guard, while D’Appollonio is a long-snapper by trade.
Perhaps the best part? Tretola was lined up in the shotgun. The second-best part? Tretola striking the Heisman pose after the catch.
Below is the video. Soak in its greatness in and enjoy.
God bless Tretola. And God bless Bret Bielema for bringing that play into our collective lives. We’re all forever in your debt.
