Rutgers decided to pull a fast one during Thursday night’s Rate Bowl at Chase Field, and it worked to perfection.
While looking to run the Philadelphia Eagles’ tush push at the 1-yard line against Kansas State, quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis instead handed the ball off to running back Antwan Raymond for the fake.
Raymond made it untouched into the end zone for a touchdown, making this one of the coolest trick plays of the 2024 bowl game season so far.
Perhaps the Eagles will pay homage to Rutgers and run this twist on their signature play sometime soon? We know we’d love to see it.
