This Oklahoma Interception Caused Gus Johnson to Lose His Mind

Leading 23–9 in the fourth quarter against Nebraska, Oklahoma's defense came up with an interception that Madden players would envy, sending play-by-play announcer Gus Johnson into an excited frenzy.

In an attempt to save its lackluster day, Nebraska quarterback Adrian Martinez threw a last-ditch heave on 4th-and-18 with eight minutes remaining. But before a Cornhusker could snag it, Oklahoma's D.J. Graham took a flying leap, reaching over to catch the ball with one hand while practically horizontal mid-air.

Had Graham simply swatted the ball away, Oklahoma would have taken over on its own 24 instead of within the 5-yard line.
