LSU has run some pretty cool gadgets and fakes over the years.

This one against Georgia Tech strikes me as the most clever. What are some of the other great plays we've run that left you impressed with the design?

On an unrelated note, never piss off the hat because he WILL embarrass you. Looking at you, Paul Johnson.

Best planned one: Fake FG, behind the back lob
Best unplanned: Wing's run vs Florida

Lulz, I forgot we did that up 38-3.

First two that come to mind are the Colt David FFG vs. SC 2007 and the Deangelo Peterson vs. Alabama 2010.

But my favorite is the onside kick to open the game vs. Auburn 2001.

My favorite was the Brad Wing fake punt touchdown that got called back against Florida. Second was the Roxy fake field goal against Spurrier and USCe.

I recall that was the play that really pissed off Paul Johnson.

Jordan Jefferson's jump pass vs. Florida in 2011.. That was a cherry on top.

Didn't they fake punt on the first possession of Les Miles career at LSU? I think we were pinned deep against Arizona St.

Not the best, but it set the tone.

The fake against Florida. Not only did it come out of nowhere, but the look on Urban Meyer's face was priceless. That ball landed exactly at the line of scrimmage and then bounced str8 up to the kicker ( if u tried this a 1000 times) lol go figure -only Miles.

At first, it seemed without a doubt that it was going to be across the line of scrimmage. And even now when i see that play its hard to believe that it was a legal toss.
But ole Urban with all that first down signalling for the Gators was certainly priceless for me. I wonder if that was the beginning of the so called retirement disease that he incurred a few months later.

Just because it hasn't been mentioned:

LSU @ Auburn 2008
Keiland Williams to Demetrius Byrd 22yd TD pass

My favorite was the fake FG against USCe primarily because the look on Spurrier's face afterwards was priceless.

For you youngsters:

In 1969, LSU was 5-0 and playing 6th ranked Auburn at home.

On the first play from scrimmage, QB Mike Hillman tossed to RB Jimmy Gilbert (a QB lined up at RB) who threw a half back pass to a wide open Andy Hamilton for a TD.

Auburn coach Shug Jordan said of Hamilton "Shoot,I was the closest guy to him."

I liked the WR pass from Doucet to Flynn in '07 and the Colt David fake FG

I can't find the video, but I've never seen one like it;
Tommy Hodson acting like he was confused and started walking toward the bench, then a direct snap to the tailback. I forgot who we were playing but when Hodson was walking off the whole defense got out of their stance like he had called a timeout... which he didn't.
