Lined up on the right, Smith-Marsette used his speed burst through two defenders. Quarterback Nate Stanley put the ball exactly where it needed to be for his receiver to ease into the end zone.

Go deep, @_ihmirr_.
It’s a good play call, and it’ll continue to be for @HawkeyeFootball. pic.twitter.com/qMpOTGO04l
