The Alley Oop is an American football play in which a quarterback player would throw the ball into the end zone high like a jump ball, and another player would jump up and catch it. The play was developed in 1950s games by the San Francisco 49ers' players Y. A. Tittle and R. C. Owens.[1] The play was named after V. T. Hamlin's comics strip character Alley Oop; Owens himself was also known as "Alley Oop."
