speechless after that catch...Jake is a monster athlete and it showed right there with his vertical. Biggest moment of the game IMO. Thanks for representing tOSU well over the past four yrs Jake!

only 1 catch.... but he sure made it count

That was a jaw-dropping moment.

The biggest moment in the game, IMO.

Thank you Jake... for a great four years.

That was a jaw-dropping moment.

his last catch was representative of his career catching passes at tOSU. he certainly had his share of jaw dropping receptions. don't think any of them were as big as this one though.

He should play for the Giants. Thanks Jake and it's been great having you represent the university!:osu:

Man, oh man. Saw flashes of this kind of ability over the years, but never got to see Jake utilized much. Unreal catch. Immortalized in one moment.

30 years from now, I'll be telling someone else's grandkids about this catch.

 

[EidoloN]

Couple big catches, the main one bein last year in the Fiesta Bowl when he made a shoe-string catch on a HUGE third down...good luck Jake!!!

Thanks for the four years Jake, I'll remember that catch forever. I hope my Bengals are lucky enough to draft you this year

Have to admit, I had flashbacks of Gonzo in The Game in '05. You see more ridiculous one-handed catches or guys reeling in batted balls all the time, but a guy going up and high pointing the ball within fractions of an inch of his leaping ability -- in the clutch -- just gives me the willys.

Great catch Ballard. You've cemented your moment in Buckeye lore for all time.

That was a jaw-dropping moment.

Love the look on #1, hands open, eyes wide, ready for the pick. Nope. Sorry.

That's background worthy. Thanks Mr. Ballard and all of the other seniors for a job well done.

 

[Rookie]

Great catch!!!

As I was looking at this picture my girlfriend was looking over my shoulder and she says, "Umm, it looks like #11 is doing you know what to his you know what." Not taking anything away from his catch, but thought this makes it even more awesome.
