WATCH: Brandon Smith battles through pass interference for ridiculous one-handed TD grab

How did Brandon Smith come down with this catch?

The big receiver for the Iowa Hawkeyes provided quite the highlight against Maryland. Down in the red zone with just moments to go before halftime, quarterback Nate Stanley lofted a pass towards the back corner for Smith.

It was a beautiful pass, but it did not appear Smith would come down with it. The Maryland defender had Smith’s left arm wrapped up tight giving him little room to make the snag.

The defender was called for pass interference, but it didn’t make a difference. Smith was able to haul the pass in with his right hand while coming down inbounds for the touchdown.

The BTN shared the video of Smith’s ridiculous score:

Can’t decide which was more impressive…the dime from Nate Stanley or the one-handed grab from Brandon Smith. 🤷‍♂️
