ORLANDO, Florida – Not every week a team gets the chance to call a fake field goal. A very aggressive BYU football team created just the opportunity, calling on placekicker Will Ferrin to pick up the first down on fourth-and-five.
No. 11 BYU is in Florida to face the UCF Knights on Saturday, October 25.

Fourteen plays into the drive, Ferrin lined up for a field goal attempt. Holder Sam Vander Haar took the snap and flipped the ball between his legs to Ferrin. The redshirt junior kicker sprinted eight yards around the right side, picking up the first down before stepping out of bounds.
What a fake by BYU. https://t.co/E3eLidMKTZ
