The tush push has become one of the most infamous football plays in the last couple years, and while the goal is often a touchdown, it’s pretty wild and rare to see a tush push evolve into a 55-yard touchdown.
Enter the Long Island Sharks, the FCS team that capitalized on a very successful tush push to break free and score against the Sacred Heart Pioneers.
On fourth-and-inches on their own 45-yard line and a 21-7 lead, Sharks quarterback Ethan Greenwood broke through the madness for a clear first down, but he and his teammates just kept pushing. The next thing anyone knew, Greenwood broke free to the end zone as his teammates followed.

Incredible. Nothing like going for just a few inches and pulling off a 55-yard tush push for a touchdown.
With the extra point, Long Island took a 28-7 lead over Sacred Heart and held on to win.
