Former Indiana wide receiver Taysir Mack is probably going to be on SportsCenter’s Top 10 after this incredible touchdown play.

In the first half of Saturday’s top 25 showdown between No. 24 Louisville and No. 21 Pitt, the Panthers wide receiver hauled in a pass from Kenny Pickett and appeared to be brought down quickly after the reception. But Mack was never actually ruled down, and raced to the end zone for a touchdown.

Mack was credited with a 40-yard touchdown catch and gave Pitt a 20-17 advantage over Louisville before heading into the locker room. It was one of two catches for the former Hoosiers, totaling 53 receiving yards in two quarters.

Mack’s two catches in the first half against Louisville were his first of the season. And one of those came in impressive fashion.

Pitt is off to a 2-0 start after defeating Austin Peay (55-0) and Syracuse (21-10) in the first two games of the year. Louisville is 1-1 with a win over Western Kentucky (35-21) and a loss to Miami (47-34).
