UT-Tech Highlights

On the 2 pt play, how come Eagles like to catch the ball after a small bounce off his hands? He seems to do it a lot. Fine if you are not covered but not good if a defender has time to hit the ball or your arms.

 

Moore is an absolute baller - smacks you in the face once you watch this video.

 

Not sure — because I haven’t replayed it In slo mo — but that pass might have gone through his hands and hit his helmet before he gained control.

Let me add that one of Moore’s late TD catches looked like a double clutch as well.

I’m not complaining. Both were catches.

 

Yes, and they were super concentrated on the catch. All you can ask for.

Bigger point. Seemed like the Jekyll and Hyde play yesterday was focus related. It’s observable from the stands.

 

Limas Sweed did the double clutch quite a bit too.

 

I can tell you by experience that catching a football coming right at your nose on a line drive is the hardest catch cause the timing of a closing your hands has to be more exact and is more difficult to judge.

 

Got it. Less time to judge speed and location vs running to the ball or underneath it.

 

Not sure this is a "highlight", but just so everyone appreciates...
A) How fortunate Bijan and his fans and family are and
B) What a remarkable athlete he is
(Gods grace, good luck or whatever else, but what I see is a guy who had presence of mind or quick enough reactions naturally to plant his off-ball hand in the ground at contact with the ground and sustain part of his upper body weight)

Whether my latter observation is true or not.....this^^^^^^^is incredible and shows you what amazing bodies we were blessed with
One more closer look..

 

YIKES!
