The touchdown and point after makes the Sooners up 17-7 mid way through the second quarter.
This is not the first time Riley has pulled something like this out of his hat. In the 2017 Rose Bowl against Georgia, Riley called a similar play with Baker Mayfield as the receiving quarterback.
Making his first career receiving touchdown, Jalen Hurts threw up the patented Dez Bryant ‘X’.

The play’s name comes from the the originators, the Philadelphia Eagles who ran the play in Super Bowl LII against the New England Patriots. Eagles head coach Doug Peterson was persuaded by then Eagles quarterback, Nick Foles to run the play. Ever since, the play has become an offensive play caller’s not so secret, secret weapon.
Oklahoma leads Oklahoma State 17-7 with 11 minutes left in the second quarter.
