That is, a football play carried out by our LSU Tigers. It had to be late 70's because both Woodley and Ensminger were involved. I only saw it once in a game on YouTube but can't seem to find it again. Anyway, both QB's were in the game, and I believe one was lined up like a Wingback. I don't know what happened, but it some type of reverse or misdirection, and I think one of the QB's was wide open on a wheel route. Probably a terrible description of the actual play, but can someone help identify?

I am thinking it was in Tangerine Bowl Coach Mac's last game Ensminger to woodley maybe.

LSU-Ole Miss about 1979. Snap to Ensminger who handed to Woodley who ran an option and pitched it back to Charles Alexander for a 60-70 TD yard run.

Check that. It was 1978. Ensminger handed off the Woodley running left and then he threw back to Alexander on a wheel route for a TD.

In the Auburn / LSU game of 1969, on the first play from scrimmage, Jimmy Gilbert lined up as a wingback; qb Mike Hillman took the snap and pitched back to Gilbert who lobbed a pass downfield to Andy Hamilton for a touchdown. (I was there!)

OK, thanks. I'll look for it.

Nope - it was to Jimmy Gilbert. It can be seen starting at the 38 second mark of this video:
