Outback Bowl: Minnesota keeps late fourth quarter drive alive with ridiculous one-handed catch by TE Bryce Witham
The Outback Bowl this year between Minnesota and Auburn has been a good one. The Tigers held early momentum, but the Golden Gophers have battled back thanks to its running game and talented wide receivers setting multiple school records.

Minnesota, late in the fourth quarter, owned a 31-24 lead. The Golden Gophers were putting a legitimate drive together to try and close the game out, but was faced with a 4th-and-1 on the Auburn 41-yard-line.
What did Minnesota do? Go for it by throwing the ball.
Take a look at this unbelievable catch by Gopher tight end Bryce Witham, keeping the potential game-sealing drive alive:

If Minnesota ever needed a play, it was then. Thankfully, Witham used his unreal abilities to provide that for the Gophers.
