I really hope the guy gets over this and maybe next year he can make up for that mistake, but let’s face it, his botched play led directly to 7 points for Washington. That ball was in his hands. Fluke is the wrong word, in my opinion. This was a botched play. The only thing flukey about it was that, after he failed to catch the ball, it bounced up into the defender’s hands.
Further, had he caught the ball, it would have been first down at the Washington 34 yard line, which is as promising as any Ute drive looked in that game.
