Extra points for degree of difficulty.
UMass had been giving Mississippi State a hard time on Saturday, trying to put another non-power conference loss on the Bulldogs' resume. Whether that comes to fruition or not (and it's looking like it won't), the best example of the Minutemen's relative success is this third-quarter touchdown grab by UMass receiver Jalen Williams.

Williams turns to catch the pass from quarterback Andrew Ford, but the ball isn't in perfect sync with Williams' body rotation. So he tips it to himself like he's a defensive back, then secures the tipped ball while spinning most of the way around his own body for a touchdown.
Ohio State's Noah Brown has already ruined catches for everybody else this year, but this is one of the great receptions of the year.
Unfortunately for UMass, this preceded a couple of quick touchdowns for Mississippi State, and that it pulled UMass ahead by a point looks like a footnote. But still!
