robert morris defender s twisting one handed interception was the best

College football got an early candidate for catch of the year Saturday night, and most fans likely missed it. That's because the catch occurred in a game between Utah State and Robert Morris... not exactly a marquee event. Especially not with the top-25 matchup between Notre Dame and Texas A&M happening at the same time. But this catch by Robert Morris DB Rob Carter Jr. was special.

He snagged the ball over his head with one hand while doing a 360 spin vertical to the ground. If that doesn't stand as the catch of the year, it'll at least hold the title for best catch of Week 1. Move over Odell Beckham Jr., and make way for Rob Carter Jr. If you’ve never heard of the Robert Morris University cornerback before this weekend, that’s understandable. Carter is responsible for the most viral highlight of the first full weekend of college football season and an early favorite for Catch of the Year. Playing single coverage down the field against Utah State receiver Grant Page, Carter slowed his timing to be even with Page and skied for an unbelievable one-handed interception that left the crowd, the broadcasters...

Carter palmed the ball with one hand in midair as he was falling backward and then twisted his body to do a full 360-degree turn before crashing to the turf with possession. Saturday's slate of Week 1 college football action gave fans all sorts of epic highlights, but the most epic came from an unexpected source. On Saturday evening, the Robert Morris Colonials were taking on the Utah State Aggies in some Mountain West Conference action. Late in the second quarter, Utah State was trailing 14-10 and attempting to drive down the field to get a score in before the half. Aggies quarterback Bryson Barnes dropped back to pass and heaved it deep. Then the unbelievable happened.

Colonials corner Rob Carter Jr. intercepted the pass with an utterly insane catch that is a very strong, early contender for catch of the year across all of college football. Words cannot do justice, really, so here's the video.

The Robert Morris Colonials aren’t exactly known for the football team’s play in the Football Championship Subdivision. But the Colonials went viral on Saturday night as the team took on Utah State. No, it wasn’t for a massive upset that would have really put the Northeast Conference team on the camp.

It was for a play that Colonials defensive back Rob Carter Jr. made late in the second half against the Aggies.

A Robert Morris cornerback pulled off what could easily go down as the best interception of the season on Saturday night. Right before halftime of the Colonials’ 36-14 loss to Utah State at Maverik Stadium in Logan, Utah, Robert Morris’ Rob Carter completely shut down the Aggies’ final drive to keep their halftime lead alive. Carter jumped up in front of the Aggies receiver deep down field and pulled in the ball with just his right hand while doing a full barrel roll. Just watch: Carter was hit with an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty after completing the interception, as he spiked the ball and started celebrating immediately, but it didn’t make a difference. They still entered the locker room with the lead and Carter should take home the play of the day anywhere across college football.

Carter is in his second season with the Colonials this fall. He racked up 22 tackles in 10 games last season, which came after a two-year run at UVA Wise. Utah State jumped up early on Saturday night after former Iowa quarterback Spencer Petras hit Kyrese White for a 57-yard touchdown in the first quarter. The Colonials rallied back with a pair of touchdowns — first with a 40-yard grab from Cole Mitchell and then with a 31-yard run from Delvecchio Powell — in the second quarter to take... Utah State, however, rallied in the third with another deep 53-yard touchdown grab from White and then piled on with a 63-yard run from backup quarterback Bryson Barnes. That suddenly put them up 26-14.
