Robert Morris defender makes incredible interception against Utah State

The Robert Morris Colonials aren’t exactly known for their football team’s play in the Football Championship Subdivision. But the Colonials went viral Saturday night when they took on Utah State.

No, it wasn’t for a huge upset that would have really put the Northeast Conference team in 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 left in the half. Utah State quarterback Bryson Barnes threw a nice pass down the field. Carter jumped up to attempt an interception.

Carter came up with a one-handed catch as he twisted his body and landed on the ground. He completed the interception and had a clutch takeaway for the team as they held on to a 14-10 lead at the break.
