In the third quarter, BYU quarterback Riley Nelson rolled to his left and stepped-up to launch a deep ball down the left sideline for Hoffman. Hoffman was covered by two defenders and the ball was slightly under thrown so he had to adjust and come back to make the catch. He leaped up and tipped the ball past Oregon State defenders multiple times before coming down with the catch while on his back. To view the play, CLICK HERE.
