Clemson WR didn't even pretend to run the route they just went and blocked the Bama DBs. It was so blatant the first time and it wasn't called. Bama should have been prepared the second time. That's on Saban especially with two timeouts left.
It used to be and I suppose it still is, that a DB can check a receiver within 2 yds of the line of scrimmage. The ref has to determine if the WR intends to block the DB so his guy can get clear behind him. Because Bama likes to put their hands on receivers it looks like the DB did that and the receiver lost his balance from the hand check and appears to be blocking while trying to get by on a route. Otherwise the DB caused the perception.

A run concept is basically where the receivers run cloth with each other and cross paths. Think of a pair of scissors when you open them all the way. This puts defenders in chase mode and they may run into each other.
A pick play is where a receivers actually runs into a defender. That's illegal. There are situations in which rub routes look like pick plays but in actuality they aren't.
