If you missed it then here it is. Miami beats Duke. Not as well known as the Cal/Stanford lateral game in 82 with the band on the field

> On Oct. 31, 2015, with no time on the clock, Miami completes eight lateral passes and returns the ball all the way back for a touchdown to knock off Duke 30-27 in dramatic fashion.

and yes the refs missed at least 1 Miami guy was down before he got rid of the ball.
