UNIVERSITY PARK, Texas — The similarities between Tyler Page’s first touchdown of 2020 and his most recent receiving touchdown, dating all the way back to 2018, were striking.
In both instances, Page took a short screen pass near the line of scrimmage, wove between a pair of would-be tacklers and jogged untouched into the end zone. It was the same play.
But the two scores couldn’t have been more different. Not in time. Not in magnitude. And not in significance.
As Page celebrated a 44-yard touchdown in Philadelphia on Saturday, he did so as SMU’s main option on offense.
