Editor's Note: Heading into the Holiday Season and the end of 2016 we thought it would be nice to look back at some of the best plays from the past year. We scoured through lots of video footage and came up with our "12 Plays of Christmas". Every day we will reveal a new play that we consider to be one of our best from the year. The list will end on Christmas Day.
Day Two - Peach Bowl Trickery
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 pass from 20 yards out 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. (three total touchdowns) and the Cougar defense (five forced turnovers).
