When you see something as clever as this, it all becomes so clear and simple. Except this couldn't have been that easy to put together.
College American football team the Notre Dame Fighting Irish may have designed the craftiest play we've seen in a long, long time - scoring a touchdown after setting up for a field goal.
What's most impressive is that this happened at fourth down, the Fighting Irish risking losing everything - but that's where the greatest rewards come from.
In their very first drive against Virginia Cavaliers, the Notre Dame outfit put together a class routine that looked like they were kicking for three points.
Then the runs happened. Then a fake overhead pass to the kicker happened before tight-end Durham Smythe took possession and brought the ball the whole way to the end zone. Incredible.

If you need a better look at it like we did, here you go.
Just brilliant.
