Before we get too deep into this, let me acknowledge that I know I’m missing one. Maybe two. Possibly three or more.
But when I started working on this, I reached out to several people and they felt like I had the 12, or at least as close as they could remember.
Because today we are giving you a new Dooley’s Dozen and it is the 12 best catches in Florida football history. This does not mean the best receiving moments. That could be another list this summer.
It’s also why you don’t see “Doering’s got a touchdown” on this list. I told Chris that I could have caught that perfect pass. I may have exaggerated. Same with Carlos Alvarez and the Houston catch.
Instead, these are my 12 favorite actual catches, not catch-and-runs or 12 most important catches. Just 12 catches that were awesome.
