California backup quarterback Luke Rubenzer checked into what would become a 38-17 loss to Stanford and wasted no time showing off his value as a threat in the run game.

The true freshman lost this snap but still managed to recover the ball before finding a hole in the line. The result was a 15-yard gain thanks to a spin-o-rama move once he broke into the second level.

Ask Rubenzer, and he'll probably say that's exactly how the Golden Bears drew it up.
