Peterson already had 10 carries for 65 yards in the first quarter and also totes the nickname “All Day.” Peterson had gains of 9 and 6 on the first two plays of a possession that began at the 50 to move to the 35.
Wright had heard the play call of a reverse before and been in position to take a pitch and run the opposite direction only to see Peterson keep the ball in practice plenty of times.
But with the smell of the red zone beginning to overcome the waft of hot dogs, burgers and brats, Peterson ran to the right and made the pitch as Wright doubled back and accelerated to the left side of the field.
