What was it they called it -- the panther?

 

[SuperHornet]

Never heard of it. Does it have anything to do with the Swinging Gate?

No
Globe of death is a play run on a kickoff return where the players covering the kick are confused on who has the ball.

The "panther" play is also confusing to the defense but was run as an offensive play.

Sounds like a variation of the long-illegal flying wedge.

I can find no reference to this. Articles on the school website and ESPN (no arbiter of truth) tout the new spread offense installed 12 Dec and the emergence of a freshman as Auburn's new QB for next year.

No mention of the Globe of Death at all. Strange that no media outlet would mention something as cr@zy as that. They made a HUGE deal out of Doug Fluties dropkick, and that was only for a PAT. Boise's trick plays vs. Oklahoma were huge news. One would think that something like this would make news as well.

You're right, Bronco, about the 'panther.' My bad.
