BCS Title Game: Auburn -3.5 vs Oregon (ov/un 74.5) Jan 10, 2011

I think Fairley faked out Thomas on third down. He took a step to the inside as Thomas was reading him, and headed back to the QB. If that was by design, it's excellent coaching. Don't just read and react to that option.

I saw that. Fake action one way and force the QB another. Works great against option attacks. Hense why you'll see some bad reads on occasion throughout the college football season.

Pretty sure he would have taken Thomas down had the hand off occurred...but hey I'm sure the Street man knows more....
