Ohio State had 12 players on the field for its fake punt that Kirby Smart nullified with a timeout call.
Georgia's timeout before Ohio State's fake punt has been one of the most talked about plays from the Peach Bowl, as Kirby Smart nullified what would have been a first-down pickup for the Buckeyes. As it turns out, there's more to the story.
With less than nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, Ohio State led Georgia 38-27 but faced fourth-and-1 at its own 34-yard line after a three-and-out possession. Ryan Day, appearing as if he wanted to play the field position game, called for Jesse Mirco and the punt team to take the field. But instead of Mirco punting, Mitch Rossi took a direct snap for a first down to keep the Buckeyes' drive alive.
