Following what some college football analysts are calling the catch of the year, J.J. Worton was named the Offensive Player of the Week in the American conference.

Worton hauled in 10 catches for 179 yards and three touchdowns–including a one-handed, diving catch that made its way to No. 2 on ESPN’s Top 10 plays. The catch evened up the score with the Temple Owls 36-36 and eventually led to a game-winning field goal by UCF’s Shawn Moffit.

UCF has a short week and they are back in action on Thursday night when they take on Rutgers (5-4) at Bright House Networks Stadium.
