Lol that’s a good one.

I always wanted to see them line up for the old “try to draw ‘em offsides” thing, and when it didn’t work have the qb turn and start walking back toward the bench like they are giving up on the play. After he takes a few steps, direct snap it to the running back.
I ran a similar play when I coached youth league. I’d have the qb pull from under center and act like he couldn’t hear me from the sideline. Then walk towards me and raise his hands as if he was going to call timeout. The center would be watching the defensive line, and as soon as they stood up, he’d snap it to the running back.

I have said for a LONG time the perfect fake would be go up the line on fourth and 1 and try to make them jump off side (anywhere from the their 40 to the 50) . Then TAKE the five yard penalty. Then do the fake punt. They WOULD never see it coming.
4 &16 instead of 4&11?

Brilliant!

:what:
How about trying a fake punt on first and goal? I bet it would catch most teams off guard.

Had a good buddy who is a UGA fan finally respond to my question as to what he thought of the play call. He sent a LONG explanation, defending the "thinking " behind the play with all the usual arguments and a few new ones that were even more over the top. He identifies as being a full tilt homer and acknowledges that most experts wouldn't agree.

I responded by telling him he had used a lot of words to "defend the indefensible". It's like trying to justify Fourth and Dumb. Just can't be done.
