Thinking back, these are two plays that define the season. It was a big game, ranked BYU against a surging Michigan team, but it is still odd that both of these plays happened in the same game.
At the time of the Amara Darboh catch it was still a close and tense game. It was an unusually athletic catch--high in the air and bending almost entirely backwards. From a physical accomplishment aspect, most people cannot contort that way. Then there is the concentration and mental aspect to it. In terms of the game and the team, it said "We're capable like you wouldn't believe."
This game was a coming out party for the team. De'Veon makes a great individual play. He breaks out of a scrum, runs in the open field with moves, and then shows strength, persistence, and resilience in flinging a defender aside. He provides a running identity for the team.
