The Montreal Alouettes were looking at second-and-extra — consider it second-and-long — on Saturday against Hamilton.
Time to go into the bag of tricks and bring out the onside punt.
The pass has be thrown forward, the receiver catches the football and makes sure his “kick” goes beyond the original line of scrimmage.
And when it works, it works, giving Montreal a first down.
Credit Cole Spieker with the perfect onside punt.
