I would sarcastically like to thank the Pac-10 officiating crew for the USC/Washington game that allowed the fake FG play to score.
Yesterday, I'm a WH for an 8th grade middle school game. I talk to the home team coach, and ask him if he has any special plays. He tells me when he runs a fake punt he's going to make a mass substitution, keep one guy close to them on the sideline, and run the other 10 guys out there. If no one covers the wideout, they'll snap the ball to an up back who will throw the ball out to the WR.
I told the coach it was illegal, and you can guess what he said.
"But they did it in the USC game."
