With 2:27 left in a 35-17 route of Kansas State in the Fiesta Bowl, Oregon player Keanon Lowe (pic above, courtesy of Sports Illustrated) fake an injury so that his teammate, Dane Ebanez, could come into the game.
Ebanez was a walk on who had played for the last three years on the practice squad. He was the practice squad player of the year for the last two years but had never been in a game. Since he was a senior, this Fiesta Bowl would be his last. Lowe "limped" off the field and waved Ebanez in so that his teammate could at least be in a bowl game before his college career ended.
This is what teamwork is all about.
Dane Ebanez is probably not going to the NFL or CFL but you never do know. Lowe might and if he does, I hope he does well. Hopefully it isn't for the Baltimore Ravens.....
