Was Anyone Ever More Wide Open in the History of Football Than Tony Gaiter?

Man, so much for the 2019 Miami Hurricanes, am I right?!?! This was a team that had won three straight over teams that are going to bowl games (Pitt, Florida State, and Louisville). It looked like they might have been making a push for one of the bigger bowls out of a weak ACC. Well, that was before C-USA’s Florida International Panthers showed up and WR Tony Gaiter scored one of the easiest looking touchdowns I’ve ever seen in my life.

That doesn’t look real.

How can that possibly happen? How can any one man get that fucking wide open? Did Miami just forget to field a secondary? It almost looks like Tony Gaiter just walked out of the stands or something. Do we know for a fact that he didn’t? Was this even a legal touchdown?

It’s like he was in the end zone when the ball was snapped. Miami just completely let him go. What’s the logic there? “Let’s just sell out to make sure no one catches the ball at the line of scrimmage and hope the quarterback doesn’t see that dude we just let run untouched into the end zone.”

The Panthers won 30-24 to improve to 6-5 and qualify for a bowl game. The Canes suffered their 5th loss of the season, all of which have been by a single possession. Just crazy crazy shit. Gaiter finished the game with six catches for 82 yards and a touchdown.

Rest assured that he will never score an easier one than that one.
