Northwestern hasn’t exactly had an abundance of shining moments this season.
The Wildcats are 3-5 on the season and fell to the Iowa Hackeyes 48-7 this past Saturday.
But there was one bright spot during the defeat, and that was the one-handed catch made by the Wilcats’ WR Mike McHugh.
McHugh made one of the more remarkable catches you may ever see.
Northwestern was trailing Iowa 35-7 in the third quarter and that’s when Northwestern’s QB Trevor Siemian made a sideline throw to Mike McHugh.
McHugh managed to grab the ball with his right hand, all while managing to keep his left foot in-bounds.
