Maybe I'd have to see everything going on to make any judgement because you've got some things to consider here rather than just automatically going to the USC. In either event, there's no way a TD is getting scored.
I think the fake/wrong timeout accompanied by an immediate snap after the defense relaxes gives us enough of an idea of the intentions of the offense.

And the notion of hitting them with a DOG, while a great rules idea that I'd love to see implemented, is borrowing a non-existent rule from our basketball brethren. Calling timeout in football when you don't have one is not a techical foul, err... I mean Delay of Game.
