ORLANDO, Fla. – The UCLA football team and defensive back Kaylin Moore were honored with the Pop-Tarts Crazy Good Play of the Week for its game-sealing interception Saturday at Nebraska, Florida Citrus Sports and Pop-Tarts announced Monday in conjunction with the Football Writers Association of America.
Now in its second season, the award celebrates incredible athleticism, awe-inspiring strategy and jaw-dropping "Did you see that?" moments from across the college football landscape each week.
With 36 seconds remaining, Cornhusker quarterback Heinrich Haarberg dropped back to pass from the UCLA 39-yard line. With Nebraska wide receiver Jacory Barney Jr. streaking down the right sideline, a pass came his direction before Bruin defensive back Bryan Addison broke it up. The ball ricocheted off Barney's leg before being reeled in by a diving Moore.
The interception was the first of Moore's collegiate career. The senior from Los Angeles, who transferred to UCLA earlier this year after stops with California and Colorado, has 26 total tackles, two tackles for loss a forced fumble and now his first pick.
Winners of back-to-back games, the Bruins return to Rose Bowl Stadium Friday for a Homecoming showdown with Iowa. The contest, which will be aired by FOX, kicks off at 6:05 p.m. PT.
