VIDEO: 350-pound Arkansas lineman throws a touchdown pass
It's not every day that an offensive lineman throws a touchdown pass. Yes, an offensive lineman.
All 11 of UAB's defenders looked shocked when Sebastian Tretola, a 6-foot-5, 350-pound offensive tackle, lined up behind the center, and with good reason.
After taking a long-snap from the center, Tretola lobbed a beautiful 6-yard touchdown pass to an open receiver in the end zone.
Better yet, the receiver who caught the ball was none other than long-snapper Alan D'Appollonio.
At 350 pounds, Tretola eclipsed former Kentucky quarterback Jared Lorenzen to become the heaviest SEC player to throw a touchdown pass.
Congrats to the Arkansas OL that threw the TD. That's one record I'm happy to give up. #fatmanthrowingtd #BBN

We will lose our faith in humanity if this pass is not ranked as Saturday's top play.
And in case you were wondering, Tretola's QB rating is 480.4.
Arkansas head coach Bret Bielema had an interesting comment about the play after the game.
Bielema on trick play: "We try to design something that makes as little sense as possible." Mission accomplished, I'd say.
