We can't have Knowshow winning this, can we?

The fact that Moreno's leap is on there is a joke unto itself.

My favorite part of the Knowshon leap is on one of the replays, the announcers gasps about the defender "it's not as if he was squatting down!" while the video at the same moment shows the defender was doing exactly that, trying to go low to make the tackle.

But yeah, jumping over a 2nd-string MAC defensive back for a few extra yards in a blowout was definitely the best play in Atlanta sports this year.

To be honest, I think he lost yards there. A simple juke or cut would have had the same effect, while preventing him from losing momentum and thus allowing other defenders to catch onto him.

Knowshow leapt a crouching defender and was tackled 1 yard later, Dwyer ran through numerous defenses and was tackled 5, 10, 20, 60, 88 yards later.
