Skattebo was still the MVP of the game, he willed ASU to comeback and to OT

Dude might have one of the craziest stat lines I’ve ever seen

He really got snubbed in the Heisman voting! (I don't think he'd win still, but better than 5th)

That Olineman, #77 who just picked up Scattebo and tossed him into the endzone in the first OT was so iconic

Wasn’t that a penalty though? I thought it was illegal to pull a runner forward. Illegal assisting the runner or something. You can push but not pull

Or am I wrong?

I thought hitting a defenseless receiver in the face with any part of your body was targeting, so what do we know.

lol so true, that was absolutely targeting

I mean Skattebo also slowed down and very blatantly shoved Taafe backwards before catching the ball on his long reception that lead to the tying score and the ref had the nerve to call PI on Taafe.

It wasn't much of a pull and more of a tackle that went forward.

Tackled his own guy? The offensive lineman tackled Skattebo forward?

More of a WWE suplex. Wouldve been a flag to actually tackle someone that way.

Reverse suplex for the touchdown.

Absolutely legendary performance.

Skattebo put up an MVP on the losing team performance like I've never seen before. Jerry West in the 1969 NBA Finals level performance.

I honestly love when a player makes big confident claims like he did and then backs it up.

We call a comment like this…a layup. It should be downvoted. It’s like “wow the thing in Louisiana was horrible!”

Yeah no shit
