    Someone with better computer skills please post a pic of probably the most amazing reception ever. P. is a monster receiver. I know the game wasn't what we thought it would but DAMN.....

    It looks like science fiction. Mortal combat “get over here”

    Every year there are a handful of incredible catches. Often they are "tightrope" type plays or dragging a foot inbounds in the corner of the EZ. That catch by Pearsall is one of the most amazing and differently amazing catches I've seen. Maybe a top ten all-time catch in cfb.

    Here’s a longer clip. Apparently, #1 for play of the day and possibly a play of the year candidate.

    The Louisville OL doing a cartwheel in the middle of a play is priceless!

    I'd like to hear an explanation from Bimbo Fisher as to why he was on the field trying to impede an Auburn player.

    And I've never seen anything like Pearsall's catch, Wes Chandler notwithstanding.

    Man, if this were a big game, he’d make himself a household name with this catch. The one catch that comes to mind is OBJ’s Super Bowl TD.

    Thanks to the OP for starting this thread, it was definitely worthy. That was one of the sickest receptions I’ve ever seen. Ricky had to have been practicing that

    JJ made an amazing catch last season vs. the Bills on 4th and 18. The Vikings ended up going down the field and winning the game.

    Grabbed it out of the air with one hand, from the wrong side, and held on to it with two defenders. Absolutely amazing.
