Arkansas State player fakes his own death on terrible fake punt play | For The Win


http://ftw.usatoday.com/2014/09/arkansas...-punt-play Wrote:I get it. Things look bleak when you’re at least two possessions away from even tying things up. You may feel pushed to throw the proverbial kitchen sink.

However, head coach Blake Anderson gave the go ahead on this play, and I have questions that need answers.

Where was the player in motion headed? Where was Luke Ferguson, the punter that the ball was snapped to, going with that pass?

Most importantly, what was the purpose of this guy faking his own death?

If I'm correct, they used an unbalanced line (I'm assuming the player lined up at left tackle had declared himself eligible), and the recently departed wide receiver was ineligible to go downfield. What else was he to do? Clever, but I suspect this wasn't too far off of being successful. I would guess that the "tackle" nee tight end is open about 10 yards past where the ball was thrown.

I really feel sorry for the kid now, seeing that he got absolutely wiped out after the interception.
