Worried more about a fake at that point in the game.

yeah, that appears to be an oversight...that would have made them just punt normally.

I guess you didn’t watch the game.

Which has a better chance of success if we have someone back there, since it's effectively 10 vs 11.

I agree with hedging on the fake. If a college kicker can make a 63 yard FG they deserve the 3 points.

It ended up being a terrible punt to the 15.

If I was worried about the fake sitting at my house then you know damn well BK was also thinking the same thing.

If they would have faked for a 1st down that would have been a huge momentum swing.

If we dont show them the block formation they may have actually gone for it. But instead they pooched it bc we were in protect.

Good call imo.

In my opinion that set up is made so if it’s there they can throw the fake. If it’s covered you pooch kick it. We were ready so they kicked.

literally everyone was worried about the fake andnit was a fake with a funny option if the kicker didn’t like the look.

i like the play

I like it better that the kicker wasn’t a great punter.

but still with no one back there it rolled a bit.

Not just the fake, but a block is more common that far out because of the trajectory of the ball.

Any punt downed inside the 20 is a plus.
