Alabama Crimson Tide wide receiver Henry Ruggs III may not win the Heisman Trophy, but his outstanding one-handed touchdown catch against the Auburn Tigers might help his quarterback win it.
Crimson Tide quarterback Tua Tagovailoa threw up a pass only where Ruggs could pull it in and the sophomore receiver lit up the stadium with a one-handed grab as he fell onto his back with a defender all over him.
Tua Tagovailoa has SIX TOTAL TDS today

Tua’s perfect throw put Ruggs in position to make the eye-popping catch and further bury the Auburn Tigers in the Iron Bowl.
Tagovailoa now has six total touchdowns on the game and after losing some ground for the Heisman Trophy earlier today, he quickly climbed back on top with the help of Ruggs’ ridiculous catch.
