DALLAS, TEXAS – SMU head coach Sonny Dykes looked like a genius after calling a sneaky two-point conversion pass that worked exactly as designed and produced a thrilling 31-30 victory over Navy on Saturday afternoon.
However, Dykes wasn’t too proud to admit he stole the play from another coach after discovering it on the internet.
“I’ll tell you the science of football coaching if you guys want to know the whole truth,” Dykes said with a wry smile. “About two years ago, when I was at Cal, we needed a two-point play. So we got on Google and googled two-point plays, believe it or not.
