Playing at Indiana University in the third game of the season, the University of Cincinnati football team was trailing by a point at the beginning of the fourth quarter when senior receiver Alec Pierce made his favorite catch of the season.
Pierce, listed at 6-foot-3, 213 pounds, stutter-stepped past the cornerback in front of him before making a move to the outside. Bearcats quarterback Desmond Ridder tossed a fade pass and Pierce leaped at the goal line and snagged his first touchdown of the season with a defender draped across his body, securing the ball as he slid into the back of the end zone.
