A game-saving leap

I had trouble deciding when this play would fit in the rankings, and I’d like to classify these last two plays as 1A and 1B. Cam Taylor-Britt’s leaping pass breakup against Purdue is probably one of the highest leaps I have ever seen from a defender.

On fourth-and-13,his leaping pass breakup sealed a 37-27 victory for Nebraska football. He had a great game against Purdue, and that play was a combination of what was a great day. He showed great awareness on that play, and he was able to that it down with ease. He made that look routine, but that was honestly a very tough play. he really improved his coverage skills this year,, and it showed right there.

He had a great year overall this year, and it was great to see him really make that big play against Purdue. For all their faults in terms of losing close games, Nebraska was able to get the job done here. In comparison to what happened against Purdue last year, this was a welcome change. Shout out to CTB for creating a poster moment.
