He told us about a play he planned to run which was a fake punt. His punter would take the snap and throw a high pass downfield with the intent of drawing a DPI flag against the "return" team player blocking the gunner thinking it was a punt. He even told our line judge before the play he was doing to do it. He was livid we didn't have a flag as the pass landed incomplete. Unfrotunately his gunner outran the defender and was wide open with no contact. Just because you planned on the defender making contact doesn't mean they will. The philosophy on that play though is it needs to be obvious it's a pass before you'll flag DPI. NCAA has gone so far to make it an exception to the DPI rule in this situation.

Yes, the first time I worked a game for him, our pregame conference with him took about 20 minutes. There were no less than 5 fake kicking plays he went over with us. Never used any of them, of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
