Oregon Fake Punt: No. 3 Ducks’ Bold Call Goes For 66 Yards Against No. 12 UCLA (VIDEO)
Posted in: Today's ChiliThe uniforms aren’t the only bold thing in Eugene. Trailing No. 12 UCLA 7-0 early on Saturday night, the No. 3 Oregon Ducks dialed up a fake punt on a 4th down at their own 26-yard line. Perhaps because the Bruins couldn’t have imagined anyone would make such a call so early in a game while so deep in their own territory, the Ducks executed the fake perfectly. Linebacker Rodney Hardrick took the snap directly and then took off right up the vacated middle of the field as punter Alejandro Maldonado pantomimed a botched, high snap. Hardrick veered toward the UCLA sideline and was eventually forced out after a 66-yard gain.
