The deep pass will be there. Iowa State quarterback Sam Richardson knows it. TCU uses it to toy with opposing offenses.
“They are going to dare you to throw it over their heads and when you get those opportunities you have to hit them,” Richardson said. “Just kind of taking the matchups you want.”
So how does ISU attack it? The key lies in a pass play against Texas Tech. On fourth-and-four at the Red Raider 37-yard line, Richardson threw a 36-yard go-route to wide receiver Quenton Bundrage. ISU scored a touchdown one play later.
This wasn’t the play call.
