Last year, Josh Levin's grandfather told him about a college football game he saw in person all the way back in 1944. That game featured a play so bizarre that he remembered it for more than 80 years. After that conversation, Levin set out to learn as much as he could about what really happened that night in LSU’s Tiger Stadium. What he ended up finding was a much bigger story, about chicanery and ethics and a century’s worth of players hiding in plain sight.
