#USC gets terrific work by DLs Gavin Meyer, Kameryn Fountain on first play after turnover recovered inside #Nebraska's red zone.
Meyer blows by center & grabs RB by legs, but that's likely a broken tackle alone. But Fountain stands up RT, turns him, comes off to make tackle.

Seven-man protection with Woody Marks used as decoy on play action. So a two-man route using one as the bait against man coverage.
Combo of play action & Zachariah Branch's ability to draw attention opens this up for Duce Robinson. Once CB follows Branch half the field is open.

Great play design here, again using Zachariah Branch as the bait to open up another target.
Watch all three defenders in circle flow to flat on Branch's motion. Worked out in end with leaping Duce Robinson catch but not sure why Jayden Maiava didn't hit a WIDE-OPEN Walker Lyons.

Opening drive #USC takes a shot (likely determined presnap), but the play-action opened up a huge area to throw the ball up the seam to Makai Lemon.
But this play likely informed Lincoln Riley the intermediate to deep over would be wide open for Duce Robinson's 48-yard TD later.
