We had another wild Maction game on Wednesday night that had a spectacular finish.
In the red zone with 20 seconds left to go in the game and down four points, Western Michigan decided to run a fake spike play that completely fooled Toledo for a touchdown.
THE FAKE SPIKE WORKS TO PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Western Michigan’s fake spike play was reminiscent of the time Dan Marino won a game with it against the Jets back in the 90s.
