Chicago Bears: 5 incredible catches throughout Allen Robinson’s career
By Ryan Heckman
Robinson furthers a Big Ten rivalry with a catch for the ages.
October 12, 2013 featured one of the wildest, most unpredictable games in Big Ten football history. The Nittany Lions took on a bitter rival in the Michigan Wolverines in a matchup fans will forget for the rest of their lives.
The Nittany Lions ended up winning the game in exciting fashion, on the heels of a ridiculous fourth overtime! Penn State came out victorious by a score of 43-40 when all was said and done. Robinson wasn’t even the leading receiver during the game, shockingly enough. He ended the night with five grabs for 84 yards and, oddly enough, zero touchdowns.
The above catch by Robinson might have been the most crucial play of the entire game. On a 2nd and 10, with just 35 seconds left in the game, quarterback Christian Hackenberg launched a throw down the left sideline.
With three defenders in the vicinity, Robinson leapt into the air and came down with the grab while making sure he stuck at least one foot down in bounds. This set up a go-ahead touchdown and ensuing point after to tie the game and send it into the first of a quadruple overtime affair.
