They have the ball, 3rd and 7 at their own 23 in the 4th quarter. Snap goes over Tolzien's head, but he picks it up and somehow throws a complete underhand pass for a 3 yard gain. Intstead of 4th and 20ish, its 4th and 4 and they are capable of running the fake punt.
At 4th and 20, they'd be crazy to run a fake punt and we get the ball back with a chance to ice it. 4th and 4 is much more manageable all based on what appeared to be a fairly inconsequential, crazy 3 yard gain.
Everyone is giving Bielema for calling a gutsy fake punt, what other choice did he have? They were down 6 and had their backs against the wall, my personal opinion is that it was innovative, but not all that gutsy, he had to do something to attempt to win the game with limited time in the 4th quarter.
