If you're still catching up after a Labor Day weekend spent off the grid, there's one play from college football's opening Saturday that you absolutely need to see.

In the third quarter of Nebraska's 55-7 blowout win over Florida Atlantic on Saturday, Westerkamp managed to secure a tipped pass behind his back while still staying in bounds to complete the first down. Here's a look.

It's even more impressive in this clip, which comes complete with slow-motion replays.

College football's national championship game is Jan. 12. We'll see if anyone can top Westerkamp's behind-the-back grab between now and then.
