The lateral to left tackle Andre Smith for a touchdown in the fourth quarter came from California. "We've been running that thing for three weeks," Rader said. "The research that we did on it came from California. Give (Cal coach) Jeff Tedford credit. (Special teams coordinator) Dave Ungerer (who was hired away from Cal) told me afterward we had to give kudos to Jeff Tedford. "Coach Shula, he had run it and he liked it and he wanted to do it. This was the time to do it. We've kind of had it on the backburner and with the bowl game, we had more time to practice it." Rader said he was almost shamed into calling the play. "We just thought it was a real good call and then it got real personal because people said I didn't have much to me if I didn't call it in a game," he said. "We were down there a bunch but we were never in the right spot. I almost blew it when we had the opportunity."
