\n 3. Plays of the Day:<\/p>\n
Lots to choose from here, which again, reflects what type of day it was in Irvine. Quarterback Spencer Rattler<\/a> rolled out to the left, then tossed a throw back to the right to Juwan Johnson<\/a> from the 20-yard line. Johnson was in full stride and got stopped at the 1-yard line. On the next play from the 10-yard line, Rattler executed a perfect zone read, and handed the ball off to running back Cam Akers<\/a> who scampered in for an easy touchdown. Another rep showed inspired play on both sides of the ball. With Jake Haener<\/a> at quarterback, and the ball at the plus 8-yard line heading into the east end zone, Haener took the snap and immediately got pressure from blitzing linebacker Jaylan Ford<\/a> from the left side. Haener somehow eluded the fierce rush, and still backpedaling, threw off his back foot to the left sideline, where wide receiver Dante Pettis<\/a> made the grab, but before he could get in the end zone, he was drilled out of bounds at the 1 by rookie safety Jonas Sanker<\/a>. Finally, with the teams moving to the west end zone now, with Tyler Shough<\/a> at quarterback and the ball at the 7-yard line, Shough handed the ball off to Clyde Edwards-Helaire<\/a> who proceeded to try and find a hole off right guard. About two yards into the rush, Edwards-Helaire stopped on a dime, avoided contact, cut back to the left and waltzed into the end zone, prompting the normally reserved Alvin Kamara<\/a> to come off the bench for a leaping high five with CEH. It was the second TD of the day for CEH and capped off a fun day on the West Coast.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"3.
