“We were trying to get (Camden Brown) to slip through and sneak out the back,” Auburn coach Bryan Harsin said. “…I don’t know exactly what happened. It’s on the other side of the field. Obviously, it was a turnover that was not good.'
The play: A wide receiver pass off a sweep to Koy Moore that was designed to find Camden Brown behind the defense. The result: An off-balance pass by Moore under pressure that was intercepted by LSU’s Harold Perkins Jr., thwarting Auburn’s best scoring opportunity of the second half in a 21-17 loss at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
The second-year coach said the trick play was one of a few that Auburn installed in practice last week ahead of its divisional showdown with LSU. Auburn already ran one successful trick play in the first half against LSU — a reverse pass out of the Wildcat that resulted in a 25-yard reception for Omari Kelly late in the second quarter. On this one, according to Harsin, Moore had two options on the play: Find Brown behind the defense, or “if it wasn’t there, throw it away.
under NCAA rules a player can only throw the ball away without being penalized if he is the “player who controls the snap or the resulting backward pass and does not relinquish possession to another player before throwing the forward pass.”
