Luck was involved in the bounce. But most of the success goes to Jasper for making the play.

The reason for the bounce was how fast the defenders were coming in which caused Jasper to go longer on his cut in to catch the ball. I was never sure if it was a short toss or what. Now I now the toss by Helton was perfect and Josh made a great play on the bounce.

There is no way the toss was perfect. The toss was exactly lateral -- no way it was supposed to be cutting it that close to possibly being a pass instead of a lateral (in case it does get short-hopped). The toss is supposed to be backwards.

The fact that the ball bounced looked to be caused by a combination of the toss being too far toward the line of scrimmage (and maybe a little too low) and Jasper going a little too wide.

And, no way Jasper went too wide based on the rush. They obviously practiced the play ad nauseum and he is supposed to go to a specific pre-planned spot to receive the toss. Do you think he deviated from the plan knowing that he was not going where the toss was going to go and knowing that he would have to short hop the toss?

Watch the Flynn-David flip at 1:00 on this video to see how it is supposed to work.

I still stand by my original post. Look at the clip I mention and compare to the game clip.
