This is the very next play following the prior Film Room (Pass Defense 1). This is actually a very interesting play to me because we've been hearing once you realized what Arkansas State was trying to do you appreciate more the defense. Well, this one reveals what ASU was trying to do.
You can see the quarterback is trying to sucker everybody into covering the quick bubble screen (after so much success), hoping the defense would bite and the third WR could beat the corner (in this case, Eric Lee again) deep. Well, on the positive side, Lee did not at all bite. However, it seems a 10 yard cushion that far downfield might be a little too conservative. I don't even know if this is Lee's play to make but the defense looks a little silly in it.
