North Texas Football: NCAA Considering Rule Change After Viral Fake Fair Catch
The fake fair catch seen around the college football world may never been seen again.
On Saturday, North Texas' Keegan Brewer faked out the entire Arkansas squad by giving off the vibe that he was going to fair catch a punt, but he never actually signaled. When Brewer caught the ball he just stood there as if the play was dead.
ESPN's Tommy Craft reports the league is trying to prohibit this type of play, most likely for safety reasons.
