Fake punt...what a great call!.wow

From a WV paper this morning.....

"The Mountaineers saved their biggest surprise for the end. Georgia was poised to get the ball back when West Virginia dropped back to punt on fourth-and-6 at the Bulldogs 48. Phil Brady hauled in the long snap but took off running, gaining 10 yards on the fake and a game-clinching first down."

By the way, this is the kind of thing that Bill Cowher would most likely never attempt in a huge playoff game.

*****

Georgia was moving the ball rather easily every time they tried in the second half. This was a gutsy call, to let the kicker take the chance if he thought it was there. (The defensive line on the punt return peeled back, so the kicker went for it.)

It was a great play to see.
