The Minnesota Golden Gophers were really struggling to throw the ball during the 2016 Holiday Bowl. It turns out, it’s a lot easier to throw touchdowns when the defense helps out with the assist.

That throw was bad. Three defenders were covering just one receiver. The throw was also a few feet away from where the receiver would have had a chance to catch the ball — that is, without the assist from Marcellus Pippins. Pippins had a great chance at an interception. At a minimum, the play should have been an easy pass defended.
Somehow this ended up as a Minnesota touchdown.
