Didn't quite work but I thought it was hilarious.

Lol at the guy playing dead.

You can see the end take off on a route. Probably an out route you can't see because of the very narrow view.

 

[upstateclone]

Never mind, that's a tackle.

 

[CoKane]

What was that guy playing dead supposed to accomplish doing that? Nobody even looked his way.

 

[WastedTalent]

Lol at the guy playing dead.

Haha. I had to re watch it, didn't see the guy.

I guess it's supposed to be a distraction, but on defense the guys on the right side are not looking at the left side at all, so pretty pointless.

Lol at the guy playing dead.

I totally missed that the first 10 times I watched this video.

The best part of this is the fact that they sent a guy in motion.

"Hey, let's run a fake punt! Make sure to send a guy in motion to let the Defense know we are doing something unusual!"

Guy that played dead then gets blown up when he rises after INT

Arkansas State did successfully run this play last year, so they've got that going for them in the trick play department

I bet the guy in motion was supposed to get the ball and the punter threw it the wrong way. Hence why the guy playing dead was a distraction for the guy in motion. Let's be real, on a fake punt the punter just thinks where he needs to throw the ball..not necessarily who. Very funny fail by Arkansas State though!

Pretty sure the guy in motion opened up the tackle to be eligible to receive a pass, the punter just threw terribly.

Yep, that's what I see, tackle eligible play with 2 WR on the line to the near side. The guy playing dead is covered up by the outside receiver so he's not eligible. Hence, he can't go out for a pass or it's a penalty. He could block though but this is funnier.

The guy playing dead gets lit up when he gets up to try to stop the return.

I like it. What did they have to lose. Although it is pretty obvious it needs some work.

I'm still trying to figure out the purpose of having someone fake their own death on the opposite side of the play.

They didn't expect the other team to be full of heartless bastards.

They forgot they were playing The U. Most them dudes have seen much worse growing up. semi

He had dyslexia. He meant to throw to the other side.
