During Oregon’s timeout with 24 seconds remaining, the Knicks called the play that completed the rally: Donuts.
“It’s one of our go-to plays,” Nix said. “We’re very happy with that play. We’ve done it many times. It’s hard to stop an opponent in a good situation. That’s Troy[Franklin]and[Terence Ferguson]and Chase. Put them in the best possible situation.
“Sure enough they brought the house blitz. Chase knows it’s a throw many times. Once we get home he’ll get a natural pick across the middle, And Bucky (Irving) did a great job picking up protection, and we threw it down the middle to get a touchdown completion.
