Temple’s Sharif Finch only needed one hand to ruin this Penn State play

The other one could be used to hold up the Piesman Trophy. We’re just saying.

Being a fish in an octopus habitat is probably terrifying. So many tentacles, any one of which could snag you and turn you into a cephalopod’s lunch. In this case, the football thrown by Christian Hackenberg is the fish, and Sharif Finch is the octopus.

(Wait, do octopus eat fish? I probably should have looked that up first.) Finch didn’t score a touchdown on this play, but he’s still eligible for the Piesman Trophy, the ultimate celebration of lineman doing un-lineman-like things.
