Penn State’s Juwan Johnson Made An Unbelievable One-Handed Catch Against Ohio State

Ohio State visited Happy Valley on Saturday night to take on Penn State in a game that very well could decide the Big Ten East (and by proxy, the Big Ten) title.

The Buckeyes were favored by three points on the road, but most expected a competitive, evenly matched game. Both offenses took some time to get rolling, in a low-scoring first quarter, but the Nittany Lions got on the board first with a field goal that was set up by one of the best catches of the year.

Penn State wide receiver Juwan Johnson ran a go route down the left sideline when Trace McSorely threw up a jump ball into tight coverage. Johnson was undeterred by the Buckeye defender in lockstep with him and made an unreal one-handed catch to put Penn State deep in Ohio State territory.

The Buckeyes managed to hold Penn State to a field goal on the drive, and for those expecting a shootout between the nation’s top two scoring offenses, the two defenses made sure to reset those expectations early. To simply move the ball in a big chunk it required a play like Johnson’s to do so.

Luckily for Penn State, Johnson is capable of making those plays and McSorely is talented enough and trusting enough to make the throw to allow for it.
