How BYU fans reacted to Darius Lassiter’s 1-handed catch against Texas Tech
Chase Roberts has some competition for the top catch by a BYU wide receiver this season.
Roberts made a one-handed grab for the go-ahead score in the Cougars’ 38-31 victory over Arkansas earlier this season. That play earned the top spot on ESPN’s “SportsCenter” top 10 plays that night.
Darius Lassiter did his best Roberts — or perhaps Odell Beckham Jr. — impression during BYU’s game against Texas Tech at LaVell Edwards Stadium on Saturday.
