Some plays are made. Others are created.
Occasionally, the playmakers and play-callers join hands. When that happens, there’s no defending it.
Texas A&M discovered that lesson Saturday, biting on a well-designed play-action fake that gave Chad Kelly and Laquon Treadwell all the time they needed to connect on a 58-yard touchdown pass.
One thing to know, however: not every QB, not even every SEC QB, can roll hard left, plant, spin and throw a 58-yard seed like Kelly.
So which was it? Skill? Scheme? Stephen Garcia has the answer.
