Pass the dutchie on the right hand side

This is a story about a 10-yr old boy, Montana, dying of an inoperable brain tumor. Notre Dame Coach Weis met with Montana the week before the Washington game and agreed to let the boy call ND's first offensive play. The boy passed away Friday before the game. Weiss called Montana's mom the morning of the game to tell her that he still planned to run Montana's play. ND's first offensive possession was at its own 1-yard line. What play did he call? "Pass right." Excerpt:

"He said 'What are we going to do?' I said 'We have no choice. We're throwing it to the right'"

--Charlie Weis, on what he told Brady Quinn before the Irish' first play.

As a rule of thumb, it is very risky and, hence, ill-advised to throw when you're pinned down at your own end zone. Fortunately, Quinn completed the pass for a 13-yard gain. Now if only Montana had called for, say, a triple reverse, that would have been really interesting. Link
