Great Play!  A question for you NCAA rules experts out there, why wasn't this play flagged?  If I recall, my son's team ran a similar play but was penalized for Unsportsmanlike Conduct.  When we did the research we found a Section in the NCAA rule book call "Noncontact Fouls" "Unfair Tactics" - Article 2 which delineated several scenarios similar to the Pearland play.  All the scenarios had the same basic underlying theme of intent to deceive.  It certainly appeard Pearland's intent was to deceive, but maybe it was legal.

All plays have a intent to deceive.

Absolutley, but not all are legal.

I don't think the NCAA rule book has anything to do with an UIL event.  ;)

Yes, it does.  UIL plays football under NCAA rules.

Really....wasn't aware of that.  There must be many situations were the NCAA and UIL are different....at least in their respective interpretations of the rules.

I was wondering the same thing. The way my crew and chapter interpret the rule is you can't audibilize when running a trick play. If someone was saying "that's not the right ball" or something along those lines we would flag it. I called one where the offense's coaches all yelled REVERSE right as the QB faked a hand off to the WR and went around the corner for a long gain because the defense bit on the reverse. When I asked the HC why would he warn the defense of a reverse, he just grinned and said "ah you got me". Man I miss football.

Sounds like football socialism to me.
