Wildcats Burned by Fake Punt Attempt

Northwestern pulled out all the stops with a fake punt against Michigan State and the game tied at 21. 

And...It didn't go too well. Northwestern turned it over on downs in their own territory with a little over two minutes left in the game. 

Social media is lighting up David Braun and his staff over this call.

Hindsight is 20/20...But is there any justification for this...?
