A rare moment of perfect execution

Before the Duke game becomes the object of post mortems, I wanted to just give a shout out to everyone involved in Himon’s long TD reception last Saturday. The call put the ball into an area UTEP had ceded, as they were in a 3rd and long 3-3-5 defense. Hilinski’s timing was excellent, leaving every defender with at least one blocker. The blocks were executed without penalty, and Himon read the blocks to get his path to the end zone. The old cliche is that every play is designed to score a TD if everyone does what they are supposed to. In this case everyone did.
This highlight compilation has both the sideline and end zone views starting at 14:52. I think watching the 2 views really demonstrates how perfect the execution was on this play.

Thanks! Out here in Montana, where the Big Ten network doesn't really exist, my only option on days of a BTN broadcast is to stream the radio broadcast. This warmed the heart of a 1974 Medill alum.

Try using one of these to watch if you can't get it.
