The Big 12 went wild with the field goal fakes on Saturday.
During Brigham Young University’s road game against UCF, the team pulled off a very rare double snap on a field goal attempt that sent kicker Will Ferrin running for a successful first down.
You don’t often see two snaps on the same play, but BYU somehow pulled it off to maximum effect to keep the drive alive.
The other saw Texas Tech placekicker Reese Burkhardt snag a flip over the holder’s shoulder after the long snap and run it in for a touchdown against hosting TCU.
Both of these very savvy fake field goals helped out the teams bold enough to run them. After all, fortune favors those who don’t kick.
