Just about every offensive football play involves "intent to decieve". Maybe a QB sneak or a fullback up the gut don't, but most plays involve fake handoffs to one or more players. There there are the statue of liberty type plays, etc. There is no need to ignore the intent to decieve because it's legal - applaud it and enjoy the play.

OK Ref UMP Welsh...Trivia Time:

When Nebraska ran that play, who was the receiver of the backward pass...and finally who was the receiver of the pass downfield??

I had a coach describe this type of play to me in our pre-game discussion. I laughed and thought he was crazy for devising such a risky play. I guess insanity runs through coaches DNA. I thought for sure it would never work but I guess he was crazy like a fox.

What he said! LOL. I didn't see your question till now and got beat to it. But here's another add to the question...easy answer: Who was Nebraska playing that day? And...what was Mike Rozier doing on that play?

The team was no other than the Boomer Sooners. Rozier was out with a nagging ankle sprain. Roger Craig filled in.

Right team, however, if memory serves me right, both Rozier and Craig were in on the play, faking a sweep pass pattern.
