How ‘poetic justice’ allowed this UM receiver to showcase speedy talent in home opener

Early in the second quarter of the No. 22 Miami Hurricanes’ 77-0 rout of Savannah State on Saturday night, wide receiver Jeff Thomas looked to have made an early highlight. He hauled in a contested Malik Rosier pass down the right sideline over a Savannah State defender and seemingly got a foot inbounds before falling out of bounds.

The referees thought otherwise, ruling it incomplete.

“I thought it was a catch,” UM coach Mark Richt said.

No worries. Thomas replaced one spectacular play with another.
