Intent to Deceive

The scene is as follows:
BYU is on the end zone, poised for a touch down. The ball is hiked, not to the quarter back Max Hall, but to the running back Harvey Unga. Airforce's defense can't react fast enough as he plows through to make a beautiful trick play resulting touch down. Out of no where flags fly onto the field, the crowd screams in rage. The call is made "penalty to the offense for intent to deceive." The crowd goes absolutely insane. And for the remainder of the quarter the entire stadium is screaming and booing and swearing at this idiot reff. Of course the intent was to deceive! It was a trick play! The thing that ticked me off the most was that this very fair play got called out when a few years ago during the Boise/OU game OU was winning when in the last play the Boise quarter back fakes a pass and then runs it in for the winning touchdown. That was over the top trickery, that was friggin backyard style. Show me the rule that states the ball MUST be hiked to the quarterback. The reffs then proceeded to make every call against us they could. And blatantly looking away whenever a call should have been made on airforce. You could practically see their airforce uniforms poking out from under the reff uniform. Every time a call should have been made against Airforce the reffs were either too busy counting their bribe money, or reviewing their boarding pass for their flight back home to Colorado. All idiot reff calls aside, this was definitely the most fun home game I have been to.
