Michael Crabtree’s game winning catch against Texas
Going into the 2008 season, everyone thought that Texas was going to win the national championship behind the leadership of defensive end Brian Orakbo and quarterback Colt McCoy. Going into the last week of the season, Texas remained unbeaten. They were ranked number one in the nation and all they had to do was win and they were in the national championship game. But they had to play the seventh ranked team in the country in Texas Tech in an old fashion rivalry game to end the season.
The game went back and forth the entire game. One team scored and then the other would come right back and answer the score with a score of their own. It was a great game.
There were eight seconds left on the clock in the fourth quarter. It was second down and ten yards to go from the Longhorns twenty eight yard line. Tech was driving with a chance to win the game. The score was 33-32 Texas was winning.
Gram Harrell dropped back to pass and threw a deep fade rout as a prayer as the time winded down. He somehow got a ball to wide receiver Michael Crabtree. He caught it and fought off two Texas defenders and ran it in for the game winning touchdown catch.
That picture was worth so much because just the situation when he caught that ball was insane. The stadium literally blew up because of him and that catch.
