This is a trick play run by the offense, and it is one of the oldest plays in football. The Statue of Liberty play is a running play disguised as a pass play, and it is used very infrequently these days. In this play, the quarterback drops back to pass and brings his arm back to throw, holding the ball outstretched in his hand. As the ball is outstretched, the running back runs over and takes the ball out of the quarterback's hand and then runs with the ball. Hence, the quarterback looks like the Statue of Liberty after the ball leaves his hand and the defense looks like a bunch of idiots.
