Am I the only guy that doesn't think this was a fake punt?


Doesn't every punter in the league have the green light to take off if there isn't a defender within 30 yards of him?

I agree with you, it was because the Florida coverage guys were bailing at the snap so it was wide open to take off.

This play will never happen again because nobody else will be stupid enough to put absolutely no rush on the punter when he's going to be sky kicking it.

There was going to be huge hangtime. The punt return formation should have not been on. Florida's ST had a mental lapse.

Coach Miles said after the game that it wasn't a called play.

I'm sure. Also, Wing was probably looking hard on that one. I know, in '07, UA opened the game against UT with an on-side kick. They saw on film that the last guy on the front line of the receiving team was starting to run back before the kicker actually got to the ball. LSU probably saw that FL was cheating back on them and told him to watch out for it.
