My top 5 are:
1. Jerry kill fake punt late in 4th quarter to help defeat Purdue.
2. Orange bowl fake punt against FSU.
3. 2003 versus BG failed WR pass in the first qtr.
4. 2003 versus Toledo fake punt that failed.
5. 2017 bowl game versus Duke.

Memorable would be ones you will never forget not necessarily successful.

What are yours?

If you want to qualify it as memorable, not successful, then it becomes easy.

1. The most idiotic play call in collegiate football history. The fake punt in the Duke bowl game. This should be everyone's number one - end of discussion.

2. The fake punt in the Orange Bowl. Although I don't think it was that surprising, it worked, and it was a huge shot in the arm at a time when NIU really needed a boost.

These are the only two that jump out of me as noteworthy.

Yep, for me it's that memorable fake punt against Duke. It is one play I will never forget - and probably the entire college world won't forget it either. Hey, we're famous! (Or is that infamous?)

The fake punt against Purdue was huge. The Boilers had the momentum, and for Kill to make that call around our own 20 was huge. Beating a Big Ten team on its own field was fantastic. One of the reasons why we may never play Purdue again. Beating them 55-24 in 2013 at West Lafayette is another.

Orange Bowl gotta be #1. That fake punt provided so much excitement in that moment. Just awesome.

The Orange Bowl fake punt was good, but the onside kick in the third quarter was even better. My favorite special teams play has to be the fake punt against Iowa in '13.

Fake punt at Iowa? Come on, that was almost a TD.... Has to be a top 3...

+1

Does throwing to the TE count?

GO HUSKIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The fake punt at Purdue where Justin Anderson took the direct snap around the right side for the first down to seal the game is my favorite. We were all sitting there thinking Killer had giant balls to go for it and going crazy with the rest of the Huskie fans in the end zone. Such an awesome moment!

Found it! 6:13

Does this count as a trick play? 0:09

I was in the end zone with you doing my best "I can't believe what I just saw" impersonation.

Love that team.
Still pissed about that cheap shot at the end.

Maryland and Iowa State are the only games I ever saw scalpers.

Does Jamaal Bass running over a Toledo bandmember count as a trick play?

This may not be a trick play, but it is a good fake. Watch Harnish on the sidelines at 2:02:02 giving a sneak peek at what Lynch is about to do.
