Last night, Stanford knocked off 18th ranked UCLA with 56-35 win. The talk of the night was not the win, or their remarkable comeback, but instead, Junior wide receiver Francis Owusu‘s ridiculous circus catch. As the ball on UCLA’s 44 yard line, Stanford ran a flee flicker play which resulted in their quarterback hurling the ball towards the end zone. With UCLA’s defender draped over him, Owusu made the grab off the back of the defender.
Social media and and football fans alike have already dubbed this the catch of the year. You be the judge. Check out the highlight of the catch below, as well as Owusu’s post game reaction.
Great play for the youngster. How does this fair against NY Giant’s wideout Odell Beckham Jr’s epic one handed grab last season. – Rocko Rathon
