The 6-foot-2 junior pass-catcher already scored a 23-yard TD in the game against Michigan Saturday, but late in the third quarter he made another acrobatic catch to add to his highlight reel.

Take a look:

This 35-yard catch came on a third-and-nine situation for the Fighting Illini, helping not only keep the drive alive, but an Illinois touchdown as well. Quarterback Matt Robinson scored on a one-yard sneak play with 30 seconds remaining in the third quarter.

The score made it a 28-17 game and Illinois has scored the last 17 points in the contest. Michigan-Illinois can be seen on ABC.
