Western Kentucky Gets Tricky, Runs Fake Kneel Down In Boca Raton Bowl
Share this: College football bowl season always is filled with trick plays and wild endings. The Western Kentucky Hilltoppers delivered an innovative play call Tuesday in the Boca Raton Bowl against Memphis.

Wales waited for a second, playing out the fake before taking off over the left side for a 53-yard gain. Pretty nifty play call by coordinator Bryan Ellis. The ‘Toppers won 51-31.
