Penn State’s offense and special teams had plenty of memorable moments in a 51-6 win over in-state rival Pitt on Saturday night. And one of those was presented in slow motion, turning a spectacular hurdle into a jaw-dropping play.

Wide receiver KJ Hamler went up and over (or through) a Pitt defender in Saturda night’s contest, embarrassing the Panther in front of his home crowd.

A day later, Penn State slowed down the video, giving fans the opportunity to appreciate the pure athleticism displayed by Hamler in that moment. And, maybe embarrass that Pitt defender a little more.

Penn State had no trouble finding the end zone against the Panthers on Saturday, especially in the second half. The Nittany Lions outscored the Panthers 37-0 in the final two periods to start the year 2-0.

There were plenty of great moments in the big win, but Hamler’s hurdle in slow motion might be the best of them all.
