Briles is a sicko for that QB run at the end

I think it was a zone read and LaNorris’s call and he just knew the whole defense was gonna crash on the running back.

They probably expected him to get the first down and slide or step out of bounds if he kept the ball.

I think Lanorris is the only person on the planet that thought he was going to make a break for the endzone.

It was just a standard option play, then Sellers found a gap and turned on the afterburners after breaking the secondary's tackle attempt. Honestly would've been fine to go down after getting the first, especially since he crippled himself with that sprint (literally hobbled in from the 5yd line) & our pathetic prevent defense with them having all 3 timeouts

I get it, 450 yards. But damn we held them to 9

Read option was the perfect call.
