USC wide receiver Ja’Kobi Lane made one of the best catches you’ll see all year against Maryland.
Lane caught a 15-yard TD from Miller Moss midway through the second quarter, after somehow turning his body while tightly covered and making a one-handed grab. Look at it. The description highlights how good Lane’s body control was during the play.
You’ll be hard-pressed to find catches significantly better than this for the rest of the season.
The TD gave USC a 14-7 lead over the Terrapins in the Big Ten matchup. Yeah, it’s still a little strange that USC and Maryland are in the same conference.
The grab was Lane’s fifth TD catch of the season and his first since he had 10 catches for 105 yards against Wisconsin on September 28. Since then, Lane’s had just four catches for 31 yards in USC’s losses to Minnesota and Penn State.
