Cast your vote for the best catch from college football's Week 10
Each Monday, we’ll gather the best catches from the weekend (or the midweek games) and bring them here for you to vote on in a poll. There could be only a few nominees, or there could be five or six. It all depends on the weekend. If you have a catch you’d like to nominate, don’t hesitate to hit us up on Twitter (@YahooDrSaturday).
The voting remains open until Friday and the winner advances to another round of voting that will help crown the best catch of the regular season.
Group of Five receivers continue to show out across the nation with awesome catches. Appalachian State’s Shaedon Meadors is the latest to win catch of the week for his Week 9 grab against Georgia Southern. Here’s a look at his acrobatic grab if you missed it:
Maedors garnered a whopping 64 percent of the vote, besting Virginia Tech’s Isaiah Ford, Michigan’s Amara Darboh, NC State’s Kelvin Harmon and Maryland’s DJ Moore.
Here are the Week 10 nominees:
Doni Dowling – Virginia
Doni Dowling has emerged as quite a playmaker for Virginia this year. He caught two touchdowns in the near-upset of Louisville last weekend and reached the end zone again Saturday against Wake Forest. This TD catch was an awesome one-hander.
The Wake defender couldn’t have played that much better, but Dowling still fought through the coverage and brought the pass in with just one hand for a Cavaliers score. Impressive.
Khalid Hill – Michigan
Michigan fullback Khalid Hill has had a nose for the end zone this season. He has just 34 yards rushing on 21 attempts, but has scored nine touchdowns. He’s made a few plays in the passing game as well with 12 catches. A catch he made Saturday vs. Maryland won’t exactly jump out to you in the game log, but you have to see it.
The pass was thrown slightly off target from Wilton Speight, but Hill was able to extend out and tip the ball to himself twice and bring it in for a short gain. That was in a 38-0 game, too. Effort like that should be commended.
Daniel Imatorbhebhe – USC
USC has quietly rebounded with five straight wins after its disastrous 1-3 start. The offense has been playing well behind quarterback Sam Darnold, who has developed a nice chemistry with his receivers. Tight end Daniel Imatorbhebhe had a streak of three games in a row with a touchdown snapped in Saturday’s win over Oregon, but he made up with it with this acrobatic catch.
Darnold found himself under pressure and roamed back to the other side of the field and found a streaking Imatorbhebhe running back left. The ball was tipped up in the air but Imatorbhebhe managed to reach back with his left hand and bring it in before absorbing a big hit and gaining a few more yards.
Teo Redding – Bowling Green
Bowling Green has had a really rough year. The Falcons dropped to 1-8 with a loss at Northern Illinois. The the loss, though, junior Teo Redding made an incredible play on a third and goal pass from James Morgan.
As you can see, Morgan lobbed one up to Redding in the corner of the end zone. The coverage was there, but Redding was able to reach his left arm for the ball at the last second and corral it as his momentum took him out of bounds. Here’s another look:
Ahmmon Richards – Miami
Miami halted a four-game losing streak by knocking off Pitt on Saturday. Freshman receiver Ahmmon Richards had a big day with eight catches for 144 yards, including this impressive one-handed grab near the goal line. Richards was able to maintain control with just the one arm with the ball mere inches from the turf. That’s not easy.
