North Texas pulls off a crazy trick play that had way more planning than we thought

The North Texas football team pulled off a beautiful fake punt return en route to an upset Saturday. Take a look at this thing:

That's straight up brilliant. And the best part is how much work went into it (almost three months). SB Nation has the details:

Back to the other guys on the field for North Texas. As the play progressed, they had to peel off toward their own sideline.

That part was important. The return would have to go along the North Texas sideline. The Mean Green knew Arkansas’ players would jog to their own sideline once they were satisfied Brewer had fair-caught the ball.

So while it was in the air, a horde of UNT blockers, who’d just let their assignments come off their blocks, started to shift. By the time Brewer got moving to his left, an armored escort of eight teammates would be waiting.

You can read the whole explanation over at SB Nation.
