Penn State also went for a fake field goal on 4th and goal at about the TWO YARD LINE. As if they couldn&#8217;t just fall over for six feet and get the TD &#8211; or at least pin the Wolverines at the brink of their own end zone and hope for a defensive stop.<\/p>\n<p>Nah. 4th and goal, gotta run a fake field goal and make it the absolute funniest and worst thing you might see in football. Well, the &#8216;butt fumble&#8217; was bad, so just narrow this one down to one of the worst FAKES in football history and we&#8217;ve got a possible contender for the follies title.<\/p>\n<p>Also keep in mind that PENN STATE IS UP 3-0, so there&#8217;s no need to do a fake kick with the people who appear to be the least athletic on the team. Just punch it in for the touchdown or get Michigan on their own 1, right? You know, the easy smart thing to do.<\/p>\n<p>Nope. Let&#8217;s totally over think this and then have everything go wrong. By the way, don&#8217;t think I&#8217;m hating on Penn State, because I absolutely love going to their games and hope they beat Michigan every time &#8211; but this was literally a bonehead play that we wouldn&#8217;t even do in Madden.
