Harris said Monday, "We knew that coming into this game this defense liked to run side to side to try to keep things from getting to the perimeter."

This play was set up for the middle of the line. It started with all five offensive linemen sticking blocks. Lester Cotton got to the second level to take out one of the two middle linebackers, freeing Harris for a sprint to green grass.
