Robert Morris Colonials defensive back Rob Carter Jr. made an acrobatic interception on Saturday night in the first half against the Utah State Aggies.
The Robert Morris Colonials aren’t exactly known for the football team’s play in the Football Championship Subdivision. But the Colonials went viral on Saturday night as the team took on Utah State. No, it wasn’t for a massive upset that would have really put the Northeast Conference team on the camp. It was for a play that Colonials defensive back Rob Carter Jr. made late in the second half against the Aggies.
Carter was defending Utah State wide receiver Grant Page with 11 seconds to go in the half. Utah State quarterback Bryson Barnes threw a decent pass down the field. Carter leaped up to make an attempt at the interception. Carter came up with a one-handed catch while twisting his body around and landing on the ground. He completed the interception and had a clutch takeaway for the team as they held onto the 14-10 lead at halftime.
Barnes had two passing touchdowns and one rushing touchdown in the win. Kyrese White led the team with three catches for 131 yards. Barnes replaced starter Spencer Petras, who left the game earlier in the second quarter. The Associated Press contributed to this report.
