This hilarious truth makes Duke football's successful fake field goal that much better

The Duke football program took down arch rival North Carolina on the road in the Battle for the Victory Bell, and some late-game trickery was a big reason the Blue Devils were able to secure a victory. Duke was down 25-24 with two and a half minutes to go in the fourth quarter, and kicker Todd Pelino lined up for a 44-yard field goal attempt to subsequently put the Blue Devils ahead. But a kick was never coming. Off the snap, the ball was pitched to Pelino in a fake attempt, and Duke's kicker ran it all the way to the one-yard line.
