First thing I thought of when I saw JC score. It was the same play.
I had noticed, when watching the replay of the A&M game, that Keon could (most likely, would) have scored on that play had he cut inside of Skipper's block, instead of bouncing outside. Of course, the play is designed to go outside, and he would have had to notice the patch (where he wasn't expecting one) and make a decision to cut in a millisecond, so I don't fault Keon. But I do wonder if the coaches saw the same thing I did when breaking down the game video and used it as a teaching point for the WR room - just to be aware of the possibility (in a short yardage situation, in particular) of the cut-back lane.
Freeze this view at 8:47 and you can see what I mean. If Keon cuts right inside Skipper's right hip - similar to what Cornelius did, I believe he scores.
