Cal pulls off arguably the worst fake punt in college football history

When you’re down 28-2 in the second quarter, you’ve got to pull out all the stops in order to come back, right?
That’s the situation the Cal Bears found themselves in Thursday night. Sonny Dykes’ team was getting hammered on the road at USC and faced a fourth-and-12 at their own 31-yard line.
Cal called for a fake, which is not all that odd. The execution was.
Punter Cole Leininger took the snap, marched in place for two seconds and then threw one of the most feeble passes you’ll ever see — a fluttering duck that landed at the feet of Stefan McClure.
There’s a reason he’s a punter, right?
USC went on to win 38-30.
