University of Oklahoma . The University of Oklahoma has used a sign with the phrase since the late 1940s , under coach Bud Wilkinson .

Spike ( gridiron football ) In gridiron football , a spike of the ball is a play in which the quarterback intentionally throws the ball at the ground immediately after the snap . A spike is technically an incomplete pass , and therefore , it has the effect of stopping the clock and exhausting a down . A spike is not considered intentional grounding if it is done with the quarterback under center and immediately after the snap . No penalty is assessed . The only loss is that one down is sacrificed . Running a spike play presumes there will be at least one play by the same team immediately afterward , so it would not be done on 4th down or when it would run the clock out ( the clock is probably running when the teams are lining up for the play ) . If either of those situations occurs , a quarterback whose first choice is to spike the ball would have to run a regular play instead . There is at least one case of a quarterback in the NFL doing just that , although that quarterback ' s regular play failed . In the January 1998 Rose Bowl , Ryan Leaf spiked the ball and inadvertently ran the clock out on that play . Fourteen years later in the 2012 Rose Bowl , Russell Wilson also ran the clock out on a spike ball play . In both cases , just before such spike , the clock was stopped with just 2 seconds left ( while the sideline chains were being moved for 1st down , the usual procedure when playing under college football rules ) . Spiking after scoring . After scoring a touchdown , players often celebrate by spiking the football , though this action is not legal in NCAA football , as the scoring player is immediately obligated to either leave the ball or return the ball to an official . Spiking the ball remains legal in the NFL , where it is not interpreted as excessive celebration unless the ball is spiked towards another player on the opposing team . The maneuver is attributed to Homer Jones of the New York Giants in 1965 . Such action is not considered a " spike play . " It has no official status .
