0-0 game in my senior year, 3rd Quarter, I'm the QB. Our offensive line is doing a horrible job, I've been beat to a pulp, and our running game has no yardage. Thanks to the D, we are still in it. We come out in an I formation, 2 receivers, the split side receiver is a junior who never played much. The play call is a quick slant "check with me", basically meaning that we are going to quick throw, but I can change the route at the line.

The safeties creep up towards the line of scrimmage, and instead of taking the deep shot with the fade ball, I decide to play it safe and check to a quick hitch to the junior on the short side of the field. I step away from the line, put my hands on my hips, look to both sides and go under center and take the snap.

They came with an all out blitz, which we don't pickup at all, so I hang in there and throw the hitch.

Said receiver runs a slant. The ball arrives on time, but only the corner is there. Pick six.

I got pulled out of the game and we lost 6-0, missing the playoffs by a game for the third time in as many years.
