Stevens takes the handoff from Trace McSorely on the read-option look, then tries to leap the pile — at the 5-yard line. He manages to land on his feet before falling forward for a couple of yards, getting ruled down by contact before the ball popped out of his hands.

Stevens did catch a touchdown pass from McSorely earlier in the game:
