FIU made a lot of big plays in its 41-17 win over visiting Western Kentucky late Friday night but none was more fun than the fake field goal that went for a touchdown.
With 7:01 left in the fourth quarter and FIU already having staggered WKU with a 34-17 lead, FIU lined up as if it would have Jose Borregales kick a 41-yard field goal.
But then punter Stone Wilson applied the knockout punch, tossing a 24-yard touchdown pass to tight end Pharoah McKever.
Wilson, who is also FIU’s holder, took a direct snap, rolled to his right before lobbing a pass — which seemed to hang in the air forever — all the way to the left.
