One Frame At A Time: Minnesota Comment Count

Ace

Jeremy Gallon continues to find new ways to confound defenses. First, it was the cloaking device, which made its spectacular debut against Notre Dame last year. Now, he's moved on to rocket shoes:

Dubious legality? Admittedly, yes. Fantastic results? Oh, indeed.

[The rest of the Minnesota game in gifs is after THE JUMP. WARNING: Jake Ryan nightmare fuel ahead.]

Gallon's TD catch—and you can see the original here—may not have been the most spectacular passing touchdown of the day, as Devin Gardner unleashed this across-the-body heat-seeking missile to The Threat for Michigan's first touchdown:

Of course, that may not even have been Devin Gardner's most spectacular touchdown of the day, as he escaped contain and made a great second effort to reach the end zone in the fourth quarter:

Roy Roundtree set up the above touchdown run with this improbable catch—note the ball never touches the ground:

Defensively, Greg Mattison saw a freshman quarterback, licked his chops, and got to blitzin':

Jake Ryan, meanwhile, is still terrifying:

In the end, there was much rejoicing:

I'm not sure why people think Gallon's TD was "dubious." He had full control of the ball with both hands when his left foot hit the turf in the EZ. The DB didn't even have his hand on the ball at that point. At that moment, it is a TD, anything that happens after that is irrelevant, isn't it?

Roundtree's was more in the gray area in my opinion as I am not sure he ever had full control of the ball at any point, even though it did not impact the ground.

EDIT: I forgot to mention that they were both amazing efforts by the WR's in question.
