Chase evades what a split-second before had looked like a sure tackle, getting away a
heave down the sideline that went for a 23-yard completion to Corbin Smiter in a crucial
situation

The senior quarterback is always in command of the
situation

Here, Charlie Wiebusch and rest of the Owl line blocks
out for Chase

The veteran Rice quarterback's speed is deceptive, and
those dfenders who don't respect it...

...usually wind up with their hands empty and their
mouths full of rubber pellets

With an assortment of receiver to throw to now, instead of just JD, defenses must spead
their pass coverage, which at times leaves huge open spaces within which Chase may tuck it
under and have room to roam...

...such as this situation in the SMU game, which from here looks like a track meet...

...by the time defenses can adjust and bring Chase down,
he's usually well downfield, past the first-down marker, if not within the shadow of the
enemy goal
