2684299, That last play design is why K is the GOAT.

He knows everyone suspects it's going to Barrett. He's been the guy with the ball in his hands in every close game, in every late possession, all year. And he knows FSU knows that.

So he sets it up to look like Bolden is setting the screen for Barrett. He even has Tre Jones RUN OVER AND TALK TO BOLDEN before the inbounds, just to confirm it in everyone's eyes. So everyone in the stadium-- EVERYONE-- and everyone watching on TV? They're all watching Barrett.

So when the action starts, not a soul notices a wide-open Cam Reddish at the top of the key. The target for that play from its inception. It was never going to Barrett. Just an absolutely masterful fucking decoy.

Genius set up, perfect execution. Brings tears to your eyes watching an old legend bust out new forms of trickery even in the late stages of his career.
