Another week, another nominee for Big Ten catch of the year.

Last week, it was Northwestern's Mike McHugh putting his name into the discussion with a crazy catch at Iowa. This week, also against Iowa, it was Minnesota tight end Maxx Williams.
Williams, somehow, managed to get a foot down AND hold onto the ball on a pass overthrown to him near the Iowa sideline.
Incredible.
This is right up there with McHugh's, Jordan Westerkamp's behind-the-back catch, Randy Edsall's leaping sideline grab and Tony Lippett's Willie Mays-esque highlight, among others.
The catch was first ruled incomplete, but it was reviewed and, appropriately, overturned.
Check out this photo of the catch!
