What happened on this play with O’Connor?

[CityboyCanes4life82]

Why didn’t he just poke the ball out the air?

Brain fart? Got nervous? Didn't trust his eyes?

Man it seems like he could have easily grabbed that

 

[Coach Macho]

I said the same thing during the game.
How about... catch the ball and go the other way!

Should have been a pick 6.

I legit thought that was going to be a pick 6 and it was going to be the game defining play.

SMFH!

Just another on the list of what should’ve, could’ve been!

 

[CanefaninBuckeyeland]

He's the 4th corner for a reason

 

[Mnhurricane]

Had a chance to make a good play on an otherwise pretty bad night

 

[Braduhley]

He didn’t trust himself. Took the safe play instead of risking missing it and being a big play for Indiana. If I remember right the next play was a huge pass for a 3rd conversion for IU. Literally any of our other DBs takes that back for 6. O’Connor played good for the most part, got beat on some really good back shoulder passes but yeah, this one made me throw my hat. He read it and reacted perfectly, just didn’t trust himself or he just doesn’t have that killer instinct I guess.

****, I didn't want to watch it again. That was an easy pick 6.

Some ppl aren’t natural playmakers. Bryce, Jakobe, Scott all pic that and house it.

My wife had to hear “why the **** did he put his left hand on the receivers back when he could’ve jumped it with both hands going for the ball and possibly a pick 6… f*ck” that what she heard

 

[twes.305]

It is wat it is, this season showed we’ll need all the CBs next season. Antoine, OJ, Damari, Lucas, and O’Connor. O’Connor still has potential and overall had a decent season.

 

[Handsome Squidbum]

Maybe I’m seeing things but it looked to me that all season the DBs had a tendency to jump in the air at a ball when it wasn’t necessary. Stay on your feet and it’s a pick 6. Anyone else notice this?

 

[plrwkyes]

he mentally doesnt have what it takes. you can tell from how he reacts to basic plays all year, the two almost INTs vs ole miss, and this play here where he was celebrating instead of realizing he should've had the pick 6. It doesn't even register to him that the pick 6 was a possibility. and that's the most disappointing part.

 

[stefan426]

No reason to put a hand on the receiver, but he couldn’t catch a ball with two hands in the ole miss game maybe he thought one would work this time.

 

[avicenna75]

He could’ve had at least 3 picks the last couple games

 

[canes_226]

He is a average CB and not a ballhawk

 

[Mr. Dynasty1]

What was The score at this point?

 

[90scane]

Sick of our fans picking individual plays and players. We aren’t in the game without his play vs OSU and Ole Miss. he will improve a ton in the coming years and likely makes that a pick 6 in the future.
