Just because the NCAA conference championship games are over and the bowl games haven't yet begun doesn't mean there wasn't some entertaining football to be found Saturday.
During its quarterfinal matchup in the FCS playoffs vs. North Dakota State, South Dakota State scored an early touchdown on a play you're more likely to see in Pop Warner football or the playground.
Sadly for the Jackrabbits, this was the highlight of their day, as NDSU went on to win 36-10.

Tricks aren’t just for kids…
Jacks score on trickery to take an early lead. #FCSPlayoffs

The play is reminiscent of the Annexation of Puerto Rico play from the movie "Little Giants" -- a play actually run by the Carolina Panthers several years ago.
