Arizona State shocked Texas with a successful fake punt late in an otherwise tumultuous first half of the Peach Bowl on Wednesday. The 32-yard completion marked ASU’s longest play of the day at that point.
ASU faced fourth-and-nine from its own 21-yard line while trailing 17-3 with two minutes left in the half, and the Longhorns were set to receive the ball in the second half.
Head coach Kenny Dillingham pulled off a drastic measure, and freshman punter Kanyon Floyd rolled out to his right and hit open defensive lineman Blazen Lono-Woo for a big gain.
