This series of clips shows WWU’s Chris Moore (80) making perhaps the greatest acrobatic catch in a 1992 football game against the University of Puget Sound Loggers.
UPDATE: This was ranked as the #24 ‘Best Damn Top 50 Spectacular Football Plays’ by FOX Sports. See the article here:
Chris (a graduate of Issaquah High School in Issaquah, WA) caught this pass from quarterback Jason Stiles (14). The camerman was WWU film student Rick Medved, who was in the right place at the right time to capture the catch on film. Interestingly, Medved almost wasn’t at this game, or any other. He had approached me about making a highlight film about the Viking football team in fall camp, but I already had somebody to do the job. Head Coach Rob Smith insisted I give him an opportunity (all it would cost us was a bus seat to our games, anyway). So, Rick was at every game, and in the right place at the right time.
Chris won the ESPY in 1992 for ‘College Football Play of the Year’, beating out Antonio Langham (Alabama) and Reggie Brooks (Notre Dame). If you watch the entire clip, watch Joe Theismann’s reaction to naming Chris the winner. Just my opinion, but ever since that moment, I’ve always thought Theismann was a schmuck. I mean, get excited, already.
Rick didn’t even know he had captured the catch on film. Once we found it, Rick, Chris and I plotted to get it on «America’s Funniest Home Videos», thinking it was a shoe-in to win the $100,000 first prize. But, the WWU SID, Paul Madison, already distributed the tape to almost every major news outlet, so AFV would no longer air the tape.

I used to catch footballs like this all the time…. but then I took an arrow to the knee
he did a get lite move with the ball
@ryant5050 why catch with just your hands when you can catch in style
He should have caught it the first time it hit his hands like he was supposed to.
best catch in football. ever.
it's been 6 days, i'm running low on supplies food and water. i pray to god for me to survive this terrible journey on page 14. still searching for ICU2CUDEAD4GOOD's comment…….
NOTHING special about any of those catches.
that was the worst between the legs switch hands rolling out of bounds catch i ever saw
that was the best catch i have ever seen in my life! but it kind of looked like it was out of bounse
did he have possession before going out of bounds?
Wow when I looked up greatest catch ever I never thought that WWU would basically own the title. I live in Bellingham where WWU is located XD.
Oh, the nineties. Such an obsession with purple graphics and terrible hairstyles.
Reggie Brooks should have won
