Marvin McNutt 51 yard Bobble Catch vs Purdue Football 2011

Marvin McNutt is on another level!! He showed what it means to be a hawkeye with this incredible catch and run for a TD.

He finished Saturday with nine catches for 151 yards and two TDs. He passed Mo Brown (2002) for the single-season TD reception record now with 12.

McNutt's bobbling 51-yard TD catch early in the fourth quarter pretty much bagged the Boilermakers, giving Iowa a 31-14 lead with 14:52 left in the game.

"I don't know what happened," McNutt said. "They told me to stop trying to dribble it. When I finally got a hold of it, I broke a tackle and just kind of took off."

The last records out there for McNutt are receptions. With 162 in his career, he needs 11 to tie Derrell Johnson-Koulianos for the record. This season, McNutt has 74, eight off Kevin Kasper's 82 in 2000.

Vandenberg knows what time it is. Of course, he's not going to let his star wide receiver take the hit for the non-TD drop.

"It was my bad, I told him that," Vandenberg said. "I threw it a touch low, right on his hip. That's an awkward spot; do you turn your hands over or do you flip them?

"Knowing Marvin, it's not going to affect him, it's only going to make him more mad and that makes him a little more hungry to get into the end zone."

@dude7872002 LOL!!!  And McNutt plays in the Big 10 where no team has any offense! Dude, Kendall Wright is projected to go in the 1st round, some sites even say he might go ahead of Justin Blackmon, McNutt? Not even in the conversation.

@BaylorSports You guys run a spread offense that passes 30-40 times a game. We a run a pro style offense that passes it 20-30 times a game if that.

@BaylorSports Mcnutt started his sophmore year too. He did not do anything freshman or redshirt year at all.

@Riceball80IA Uh, no Kendall Wright is much better than McNutt.

[BaylorSports]

Kendall Wright is the 2nd leading receiver in all of D1 football. McNutt, not even close.

[dude7872002]

@BaylorSports he plays in the big 12...they have no defense..... at all... any team has no defense.... you are wrong, and plus mcnutt is a converted QB! in a run first offense. and in the big 10 where we play defense.

[dude7872002]
