Despite the play fake to (I assume) JJTBC, there were two pulling OL who led Thorson around right end on the long TD run.

Based on this, is it correct to assume that this was a designed QB run and not an option play?

This looked planned all the way. Similar to the run he had to the left against Stanford last year.

Tus far Thorson has not shown that he can run the option. So yes, likely a called QB run.
