This description does not precisely match the mental image I have of the play, but we ran the fumblerooski against Mississippi State in 1990:
"Vols' Fumblerooski: SEC Saturday's notebook
September 9, 1990|By Frank Kennedy of The Sentinel Staff
REMEMBER Florida State's dramatic ''puntrooski'' in the final minute that stunned Clemson, 24-21, on national television in 1988? It was not only the most exciting play of the season, but certainly the most ingenious. Well, Tennessee pulled off a fairly similar trick Saturday in much less spectacular circumstances. Leading Mississippi State, 17-7, in the second quarter, Vols guard Bernard Dafney picked up the snap which the center had dropped on the ground, and ran around left end 32 yards for a touchdown. UT Coach Johnny Majors: ''It was a very good play. It gave us some breathing room at the time. It's one of those plays that either goes or doesn't go'' (Vols' Fumblerooski - Orlando Sentinel).
