| BSU wasn't the first, but I'd say they got the idea from them.
best QB's at selling fake I've seen are
Peyton Manning
David Greene |

David Greene | I think you meant to say that David Greene was faking being a good QB?

Ainge would be the one scoring in a fake statue of liberty | I know, I forgot to add that someone else would hand it off to him. Lousy shot at a funny by me.  |

Lousy shot at a funny by me.  | i guess i just get nerved by some things. people remember the almighty peyton's naked bootleg and think he was this all class running qb. he wasn't anywhere near. and because of those memories clausen and ainge take the heat for being extremely immobile. I'm not blaming you necessarily, but if we truly could catch a team offguard and effectively run a fake statue of liberty, ainge could easily waltz in the end zone. ie, if tennessee was in oregon's spot saturday, ainge would've scored on that play. |

Hell, I could have scored on that play. The dude could have just trotted into the endzone. IMHO, Ainge is pretty mobile for a great passing QB. I know nothing about Peyton's naked bootleg, either. I wasn't even 10 when he played at UT. |
