Jordan Wyatt kept running, even though he didn’t have the ball.
Wyatt had read a curl route on fourth-and-two perfectly. He broke on the route before the ball was even thrown. He basically read the quarterback’s mind.
Wyatt darted in front of the intended receiver just beyond the first down marker as the ball hit him in the hands – then fell to the ground. He had ended Liberty’s drive, but he didn’t catch a gift-wrapped pick-six.
He kept running, in disbelief that he’d missed a chance to score. He grimaced as he went over to discuss the play with defensive coordinator Van Malone.
