The iconic scene of BYU quarterback Tanner Mangum connecting with receiver Mitch Mathews on a Hail Mary to win the Cougars' 2015 season opener against Nebraska and the celebration that followed can now be relived through Legos.

A stop-motion video of the play using the toys was created by Jared Jacobs of Idaho and is accompanied by the television call from broadcaster Sean McDonough. It even includes wide receiver Terenn Houk's hug of a referee.

According to a May story from golflink.com by Joey Ratcliffe, Jacobs has become a seasoned pro at making similar videos. He began his hobby by recreating famous golf moments.
