Plenty of teams have attempted a fake special teams play with horrible results, but this one by Arkansas may be the worst yet.

The Razorbacks are taking on Auburn Saturday in a game that has been dominated by the Tigers. Looking for a spark, Arkansas dialed up a fake punt trying to catch Auburn off guard.

Unfortunately, this play was doomed from the start. The intended receiver was actually covered up nicely by two defenders in the backfield, but it is the “throw” by the punter that put the nail in the coffin for this play.

Instead of throwing the ball with one hand, the punter attempted what appeared to be a two-hand push pass. It most closely resembled a chest pass you might see in a basketball game.
