“Coach Day drew it up earlier in the week and I didn't know when he was going to call it,” Ruckert said in the locker room after the win. “We had an opportunity to make a play and a big one, because he doesn't really call too many bad plays out there, so we know if he's going to call it, it's got a chance to be successful.”

To ensure the success of Day’s brainchild, Ruckert spent more time than usual working on that single play.

The team repped it during practices throughout the week, and then he perfected it while working with offensive graduate assistant Trey Holtz after the team’s practices on Tuesday and Wednesday. Ruckert says he didn’t have to make any one-handed snags during those sessions, but everything else went as expected.

“We don't do anything by accident,” Ruckert said. “I just wanted to do it just how we drew it up and just how he wanted it. I knew Justin (Fields) was going to do it just how he drew it up and just how he wanted it. I knew Justin was going to give me the ball and I could go up and make a play for him. That was pretty much just trying to execute what coach Day put in the playbook.”

“I stayed out after practice Tuesday, making sure I ran the route right and how I wanted it and to give myself a chance to make it in a game,” Ruckert said. “I think I did that, we did that.”
