If there's one lesson to take away from Saturday night's ACC championship game, it's don't go for the fake punt.
Clemson attempted one in the first half, though it may have been the punter's lone wolf decision to go for it. The Tigers failed miserably and North Carolina quickly turned the mistake into a touchdown.
In the second half, the Tar Heels attempted a fake punt of their own, and just like Clemson's, it went horribly wrong.
Two plays after the turnover on downs, Deshaun Watson hit Artavis Scott on a beautiful 35-yard touchdown pass, putting Clemson on top 35-16.
