Houston was up 7-3 against then-No. 9 Florida State in the second quarter of the 2015 Chick-fil-A Peach Bowl when the Cougars caught the Seminole defense off guard with this trick play.

Demarcus Ayers connected with fellow wide out Chance Allen on the wide-receiver reverse for a 20-yard touchdown pass to give Houston a 14-3 lead with 6:11 remaining in the second quarter. Allen ended the contest with 59 yards receiving and two touchdowns, while Ayers recorded a game-high nine receptions for 82 yards.

Houston - who claimed the inaugural American Athletic Conference Football Championship the game prior - went on to win the Peach Bowl, 38-24, behind strong efforts from quarterback Greg Ward Jr.
