Video: Utah fakes punt after first attempt hits skycam wire

The Utah Utes did just about everything right in their blowout win over the Oregon Ducks on Saturday. In the third quarter of the game, the Utes did something a lot of people would criticize. They ran a fake punt while they were up by 28 points.

Their fake punt came at a perfect time though. Utah punter Tom Hackett’s first attempt went so high up in the air that it hit the wire to the skycam flying around the field.

The Utes thought “What the hell” and decided to go for a fake on the re-kick.
