Cast your vote for the best catch of Week 8 (Videos)

Each Monday, we’ll gather the best catches from the weekend (or the midweek games) and bring them here for you to vote on in a poll. There could be only a few nominees, or there could be five or six. It all depends on the weekend. If you have a catch you’d like to nominate, don’t hesitate to hit us up on Twitter (@YahooDrSaturday).

The voting remains open until Friday and the winner advances to a final, end of the year vote where the best catch of the season will be determined. And since we started this midway through the season, some of our favorite catches from the first half will re-surface at the end of the season as well. Don’t you worry.

There was a clear favorite for our Week 7 catch of the week before we even hit the weekend. Stanford’s Francis Owusu somehow made a catch without seeing the ball hit his hands in a Thursday night Pac-12 game against UCLA, but he pinned it against the back of Jaleel Wadood for an improbable touchdown and took home the Week 7 catch of the week.

As incredible as that catch was, Owusu didn’t completely run away with the voting. Uwusu took home 44 percent of the vote with Utah’s Kenneth Scott coming in second with 34 percent of the vote. Notre Dame’s Corey Robinson (9 percent) finished third with Kentucky’s Garrett Johnson (7 percent) and Nebraska’s De’Mornay Pierson-El (6 percent) rounding out the voting.

Here are the Week 8 nominees:

Thomas Sperbeck – Boise State

Thomas Sperbeck has been one of Boise State’s top big-play threats over the past two seasons and is currently in the Top 20 nationally in yards per reception (19.6. He also is one of the more sure-handed wideouts in the Mountain West and showed that during the first half of the Broncos’ 34-14 win over Wyoming with this crazy one-handed snag. One of the best parts of the catch was his ability to cradle the ball in his right arm to secure the catch as he hit the turf.

Roger Lewis – Bowling Green

If you don’t watch a lot of MAC football, you’re missing out on impressive weekly displays from Bowling Green sophomore Roger Lewis. Lewis hauled in 73 passes for 1,093 yards and seven score in 2014 as a true freshman, and he’s already surpassed those yardage (1,122) and touchdown (11) totals through eight games this year. On Saturday in a 48-0 Falcons win over Kent State, Lewis made two highlight reel touchdown catches, including this crazy one-handed effort in the corner of the end zone.

Keith Heitzman – Ohio

Ohio senior Keith Heitzman was one of the team’s few bright spots in the Bobcats’ 41-17 loss at Buffalo on Saturday. Heitzman, a graduate transfer from Michigan, is also the first tight end to earn a nomination. He did so with a diving one-handed catch early in the fourth quarter. Heitzman finished the game with six catches for 83 yards and now has 19 catches for 280 yards and two TDs this season. Not too shabby for a guy who mainly played defensive line at Michigan.

James Washington – Oklahoma State

OSU’s James Washington had one of the best games of his career to help Oklahoma State improve to 7-0 on the season with a win over Kansas. Washington led the Cowboys with six catches and 103 yards on the afternoon and reeled in this ridiculous one-handed touchdown on a great throw from Mason Rudolph.

Keyarris Garrett – Tulsa

Keyarris Garrett was a huge reason Tulsa kept things competitive with unbeaten Memphis on Friday night. The 6-foot-4, 221-pound senior caught 14 passes for a career-high 268 yards and three touchdowns, including a successful Hail Mary as time expired in the first half. Tulsa QB Dane Evans lobbed one up into heavy traffic but two Memphis defensive backs couldn’t come up with the ball and Garrett was there to bring it in for a score.
