WVU receiver Kevin White (almost) had an amazing touchdown catch (Video)

West Virginia receiver Kevin White almost had an amazing touchdown catch during the second quarter of Thursday's game against Kansas State.

Note: Almost.

Quarterback Clint Trickett overthrew his initial receiver and the ball landed in the hand of Kansas State’s Dante Barnett, who seemingly made the catch, rolled over and allowed the ball to fly out of his hands, into the air and toward White. White alertly snatched the ball out of the air and dove into the end zone for what looked like an unbelievable score (and a tie game).

However, upon closer review, Barnett never actually had the ball. The nose of the ball hit the ground before Barnett was able to secure it, negating one of the best plays of the year.

That said, we still have to give props to White for his awareness and concentration.

Unfortunately for West Virginia, things went from bad to worse when kicker Josh Lambert missed the ensuing field goal try.
