So close to the line, but only a first down for Jake Heaps.

This photo is from two weeks ago. I’m just now posting. Way behind. Last weekend was a game at Air Force in Colorado and tomorrow it’s Florida State. I’ll write more about it sometime.

Yeah, I know. I wish I could have written all the stories we shared on the drive from Denver to Colorado Springs last weekend. Sorry, it’s not going out.

Ouch.
While I’m waiting for the parking lot to clear out, here is my take from Pleasant Grove’s victory over Timpview, which snaps Timpview’s 36-game state record winning streak.

Two awesome plays that didn’t pan out from last week’s BYU vs. UNLV game. I was way too tight on these, shooting with a 400 and 1.4x teleconverter for a grand total of 560mm (or 728mm if you count the 1.3 sensor crop). Don’t worry if none of that makes sense. It’s all physics and math so you can just tune it out.
First was this really nice touchdown leap by UNLV quarterback Mike Clausen:

Ouch. That would have been a nice loose horizontal. Next up was this:

BYU wide receiver O’Neill Chambers was running the ball upfield and did this wild running leap over a UNLV defender. To see what could have been, check out Mike Terry’s blog. He nailed it.
I’ve been working this scene all season long. I know there’s an even better photo, but here’s the closest I’ve got.
