After the game, I talked to Matney. He said the fake punt was a great call by Haywood. It took them by surprise. It took a lot of Belfry folks by surprise. The Belfry coaches said it had been somewhere around 12 years since they had faked one. The biggest thing I saw with JC, is that some of the play action is almost too obvious. Fakes are only real effective if they are made naturally in the flow of the play. Like a changup in baseball. For example, Dillon used both hands to fake the quick hiiter to the wide receiver before throwing downfield. The fake is so exaggerated that a good defense would never fall for it. On the other hand, the 16 play, 82 yard drive, by JC in the third quarter was a thing of wishbone beauty and Belfry's answer, aided by the fake punt, was a great response.

Evidently everyone was surprised by the fake punt, but in all honesty Lee tipped it off himself. What I saw, obviously wasn't detected by anyone on the field. What he did was slightly move his hands like a quarterback does when he is anticipating the snap in shotgun formation. It was a subtle movement , but it was a tip nonetheless. My dad was sitting next to me and I alerted him to the hand movement and then a split second later the ball was snapped to Lee.
