Looking at the highlights, it looked like a pretty ill advised pass. I guess Rising thought he could thread the needle between two defenders, but it sure didn't work.

I am going further. It was mega-stupid. It was second down with 22 seconds to go. He probably had another play if the pass was incomplete before they had to kick a FG. Their were two Florida defenders in front of his receiver. His receiver had fallen, so he had to throw it low. The ball was actually behind the receiver, so he had no chance to catch it. Utah had 3 receivers crossing in the middle of the field at different depths of the end zone. Utah had one receiver running out left that was well covered. IMHO, not a well designed play because it sucked all the defenders into the same area. If the QB had waited he MIGHT have has a guy running left to right that would have been open. Hard to know because him throwing attracted defenders. Throw it away and try again.

poorly designed and poorly executed. wide receiver #21 is aggressively blocking the deep defensive back in the area more than 5 yards downfield just before the pass is thrown. i believe that's an illegal pick, technically offensive holding. pretty flagrant on the replay though it didn't get called.  (at least in the nfl it's not legal, not sure about ncaa)
