Oklahoma offensive coordinator Ben Arbuckle got into his bag of tricks early against the Temple Owls.
The No. 13 Sooners easily cruised down the field for a touchdown in their first possession against Temple on Saturday in Philadelphia. Running back Jovantae Barnes finished the drive with a three-yard touchdown run to give the Sooners the early 6-0 lead.
The Sooners wanted to bump that early lead by another point, though, and lined up to go for two. And college football fans couldn't get enough of what Arbuckle cooked up next.
Linebacker-converted-tight end Jaren Kanak, who played quarterback in high school, lined up in shotgun behind the center. After taking the snap, Kanak immediately darted to the right, then abruptly stopped and lobbed a jump pass to punter Jacob Ulrich, who didn't even play last week because of a hamstring injury.
The wild play immediately went viral on social media.

I did not have Jacob Ulrich catching a two-point conversion on my bingo card today.

Kanak has been a fan-favorite. Not only did he throw a successful two-point conversion, he also led the Sooners in receiving yards at halftime with 55 on three catches.

Is Jaren Kanak a better quarterback than Arch Manning?
