Wily feckers them Utes.

So deceptive was Utah's punt return at the weekend that the Oregon Ducks defence hadn't a clue what was going on. As everyone's eyes were drawn to the player at the bottom of your screen who acted as though he was collecting the ball into his chest to call for a fair catch, the receiver at the top of the screen nonchalantly dragged the ball up the sideline to score the sneakiest touchdown you're going to see all season. Not even the Fox cameraman was able to suss the goings-on as he followed the decoy player rather than the football.
Don't you love it when a plan comes together?
