It’s 4th and 2. The play is an RPO with the intent being a pass to Chase on a pick route. He described the intent of the play as “pass it to Chase if you can, hand it off if you have to”

SMU was expecting pass, and had their D end drop right into the lane they wanted for the pass to Chase taking away that option. Jake read it and handed it off, the oline blocked it well (aided by their defensive end dropping into coverage) and the result was a TD.

People complain about Chase and Lassiter not getting enough targets. Well, there’s an example that won’t go as an official target, but the play call was definitely targeting Chase and the defense took it away. How many other hidden targets were there that fans have no idea about?
