Brad Stewart's catch was the best by a GT player since...

[CuseJacket]

Megatron vs. NC State, imo. Thoughts? I'm asking specifically about the difficulty of the catch. Not importance to the game, even though yesterday's was as clutch as it gets too.

Justin Thomas to Qua Searcy, 4th and 19 late in the 4th quarter against BC in Ireland.

Edit: Probably shouldn’t have listed this one. Catch was only difficult because of the game situation. Still awesome though.

Maybe Stephen Hill?

Or this one?

More clutch than any of those.

I’m glad this has its own dedicated thread. It deserves it. Stewart has made some clutch catches for us, and some very difficult ones also. But the catch last night was spectacular.

The play was coming my way where I sit. And I seemed to see it in slow motion. Initially I thought it was going to be a pass into tight coverage and I was cringing. And then...the double move. And Stewart was breaking clear and WIDE open. The ball was in the air and had touchdown written all over it. Then it began to arc down and I could tell it was an overthrown ball. I could see Stewart begin to dive for it but knew he wouldn’t be able to reel it in...a foot too far ahead of him. I still don’t know how the hell he managed to bring that thing in...much less hold onto it.

One of the most awesome receptions I have seen at Tech. Astounding.

It ranks right up there with Megatron's catch against NCSU and Billy Martin's catch against Duke in 1963

Smelter had a HUGE one in a similar situation against Pitt in 2013.

Que vs Tennessee was pretty good too.

Seemed like Hill could only make the hard catches

Jeez, Vad threw that 50 yards pretty much on a rope.

It should have been a pick. Smelter bailed us out with a great grab.

Smelter was as good as any WR we’ve had at Tech not named Calvin. I really thought he would shine in the NFL

Arm talent was never his issue.

"The Catch " Godsey to Watkins!

Yeah definitely. But with the situation (3rd and 17) a pick there would have been just like a punt. I think throwing it up for grabs down the field was the plan.

I cannot find any youtube tape, but as soon as I saw Brad lay out like that I flashed on Jimmy Robinson in memory banks. Had not thought of Jimmy in years. He was a great one!

I once saw Jimmy Robinson make a catch against the Redskins like that

Like a rope into double coverage.

Best Brad Stewart catch since he was in high school?

 

[Dustman]

Stephen Hill laid out for a deep ball vs Clemson in 2011. Stew's catch was more clutch though. Both happened right in front of me.
