VIDEO: San Jose State WR Bailey Gaither Makes Catch of the Year Against Army on Incredible TD

This isn't just the catch of 2019; this is one of the best catches you could ever hope to see in a college football game. San Jose State had a first-and-10 inside the 25-yard line against Army, and decided to take a shot to the end zone. What happened next was one of the best catches that a receiver can manage at any level of football. The sheer focus and tenacity is off the charts.
