USC's QB Sam Huard tricks Northwestern with fake punt in No. 80 jersey

No. 20 USC pulled off a fake punt for the ages on Friday night against Northwestern.

Lincoln Riley sent out third-string quarterback Sam Huard in a No. 80 jersey, the same one worn by punter Sam Johnson. The trickery was legal with the signal-caller listed under the number for this game specifically. A clear break from Huard's normal No. 7, but it worked.

Huard came on the field with the punt team in the second quarter and completed a 10-yard pass to Tanook Hines. The first down extended the Trojans' second drive, which ended with a TD run by Jayden Maiava.

So, 3rd string QB Sam Huard dressed up as punter Sam Johnson, wearing same number, to complete this fake punt for USC.
