UConn Gets Too Cute With Fake Field Goal, Immediately Regrets It

Bob Diaco was in a position to tie Missouri in the last minute of regulation and potentially pull off a huge road upset. Things didn’t go well from there.

Down 9-6, UConn lined up for a field goal on 4th-and-4 from the Mizzou 25-yard-line with 53 seconds left. Alas, it was a fake!

But QB Tim Boyle threw it straight into triple coverage where it was intercepted, sealing the victory for the Tigers.

Whoops.

Seriously, UConn. What the hell? This was a game-tying attempt with less than a minute left. pic.twitter.com/LrNbqw2j1Y
