In a true "you have to see it to believe it" moment, a college quarterback managed to catch his own pass and then score a touchdown.

The Crusaders of North Greenville University were playing the Mars Hill University Lions over the weekend in South Carolina when North Greenville quarterback Nelson Hughes managed to regain control of a pass that had been batted out of the air by the other team. Hughes then ran the ball 42 yards for the touchdown!
