My thoughts on the top ten list that you just watched:
- Fun couple of minutes but how many of these were because of a defensive back completely stumbling all over themselves? Adrian Jarrell’s was because of complete stone hands by the defender, Jim Seymour’s was on a very poor play by the safety on an underthrown ball, Chris Finke’s against Michigan was great but took a Wolverines defender who was apparent playing in quick sand and Derrick Mayes against Florida State was impressive but largely because of a Samari Rolle misplay.
- Rhema McKnight’s catch and ability to get his foot down at Michigan State in 2006 deserves to be higher. That play was incredible.
- I’ve never watched the 1986 Notre Dame vs. USC game that was a thrilling comeback win for the Irish but Milt Jacobs and his great catch is yet another reason why I need to find a copy of that classic.
- I had entirely forgotten about Golden Tate’s grab in 2009 against Washington State. Likely because that was Halloween night in a blowout game but how he comes down with that ball is beyond me. That was certainly defender error but Tate deserves props for making a play on the ball literally as well as one possibly could.
- I would have bet the farm going in that we’d see Michael Floyd on the list for at least one of his touchdown grabs and am fairly stunned we didn’t.
