Late in the first quarter against UCF, No. 11 BYU Football had a 7-0 lead and was looking to extend its lead. BYU faced a 4th-and-5 from UCF’s 28-yard line. Instead of kicking the field goal, BYU ran a fake and kicker Will Ferrin got eight yards for the first down. The holder, punter Sam Vander Haar, threw the ball between his legs to Ferrin, who had the choice of either throwing or running for the first down. Ferrin had enough for the first down.

Social media was thrilled. College football analyst Dave Pollack described it as a play “that you work out and never use unless you’re (BYU)… perfect execution.”

Max Olson described it as “one of the prettiest fake field goals of the season.” Olson added, “Thanks to the owner for taking it to the next level.”

The fake also caught the attention of ESPN reporter Pete Thamel.

Unsurprisingly, the folks at Barstool Sports were excited about the fake.

Betr called it the “coolest fake field goal of all time.”

Barstool Sports said, “BYU may be the first team in history to snap the ball twice in a game on this fake field goal.”

Below are some more reactions from social media.

After taking a 17-0 lead, UCF scored 10 unanswered points, leaving the game down to one point with a minute left in the first half. Then Jake Retzlaff connected with Chase Roberts for a 62-yard touchdown, extending the lead to 24-10.
