Dude my grandma could have caught that. Lazy play by a star in crunch time.

How many years of eligibility does your grandma have left?

78

u/Due-Dirt-8428 Notre Dame Fighting Irish 2h ago

Technically 5 if you grant her a Covid year she never went to college

Suppose it depends on if she's on Lane Kiffin's recruiting board.

I don't think lazy is the right word. He just got in his own head about staying in bounds instead of playing it like a normal ball.

Yeah that's really crazy to call him lazy. Especially because you can see immediately after that he was upset with himself like "ugh...touchdown?" Almost trying to sell it as a TD hoping refs wouldn't see 😅.

It just got away from him I think. He'll be thinking about this one for a while

Exactly. He got lost in the moment. Kinda like when a receiver hears footsteps and thinks about the hit or evading the defender instead of focusing on catching the ball.

I was going to say the same thing, you can see him try to slow it down to focus on the catch and loses track of staying in bounds

You probably couldn’t even catch that, would love to see you try tho

Yeah and so did the receiver.

Could your grandma catch it in bounds though?
