SMU brought over 2 corners and a safety deep... the second the play started, the WR's that were blockers instantly locked up the DB's and if the WR had caught that... I think he could have made it 15 yards, if not the full 17 if he beat the safety. In fact if he beats the safety... that's a TD. I was kind of surprised at the defense that SMU brought out, because they stacked the LOS.
Why on earth Jake threw that into the ground is just beyond me.
