MORGANTOWN, W.Va. — West Virginia players saw the highlight of North Texas punt returner Keegan Brewer pulling off the craziest, gutsiest fake-out in special-teams history. Brewer nonchalantly acted as if he made a fair catch at his own 10-yard line before jetting off for a 90-yard touchdown while the Arkansas punt unit mostly headed back toward the sideline.
Of course Brewer never signaled for a fair catch, and thus the play was never whistled dead, thanks to Mean Green coaches alerting game officials that they would use the trick play.
The touchdown gave North Texas a 14-0 lead that snowballed into a 37-17 mashing of the Hogs, but there was massive risk involved for Brewer.
