Of the thousands of plays during the 2017 college football season, the one that has stuck in my mind has been the following:
It may have ended up coming in vain, as the Cincinnati Bearcats lost this game to Navy, but this touchdown run from Gerrid Doaks was a piece of tangible evidence that the future was bright. Doaks does so much on the play. He sheds a tackler who attempts to trip him up, explodes to the outside, stiff arms another tackler back to the 18th century and uses every ounce of effort he has to stretch across the goal line for a touchdown.
