The catch alone would have made a statement.
South Carolina freshman wide receiver OrTre Smith ran a nice post route in the fourth quarter Saturday and hauled in an explosive play. Go down at the 8 after two Louisiana Tech defensive backs hit him, still a very nice play.
Instead he bounced off both defenders and found himself stumbling past and over the goal line.
“Unbelievable job by OrTre,” USC quarterback Jake Bentley said. “The big post route, breaking tackles, I told him if he was spun around backwards, he would’ve run backwards because he didn’t have a clue where he was.
