Social media reacts to Marvin Mims ridiculous catch against Texas Tech
- Oops!Something went wrong.Please try again later.
Marvin Mims is having an incredible first half against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. He just picked up his second touchdown of the game on a 77-yard bomb on a busted coverage by the Red Raiders.
He now has five receptions for 162 yards, which is one-yard shy from tying his career high that he set against Kent State earlier this year. And there’s still more than a half of football to play.
Having a big half of football, Mims had what might end up being the catch of the year.
With the Sooners driving to extend their 14-0 lead, Dillon Gabriel dropped back to pass and threw to Mims on a slant-fade. Mims jumped while being interfered with and reached around a defender to catch the ball.
It set social media ablaze with his fantastic reception, and here are some of the best reactions from the catch and Marvin Mims’ big first half.

Mind-boggling
Marvin Mims with a ridiculous catch. Spent so much time trying to figure out how he caught it that missed DG's run (but saw the personal foul).
How did Mims do that?

Miracle Worker
Marvin Mims just pulled off a miraculous catch despite a defensive pass interference for a gain of 30 yards. It looks like he grabbed it off the defender’s back.

It's not paying off for them Cotton
Leaving Marvin Mims uncovered is a bold strategy.

WIDE OPEN
There was no one within a mile of Marvin Mims. Gabriel struck to him. Touchdown. 77 yards.

Incredible Performance
Marvin Mims has never caught three touchdowns in a college game. He has two tonight, and it’s not even halftime yet.

Lots of Space to Work With
Marvelous Marvin Mims is wide open in the panhandle of Texas.

Quick Strike Offense
MIMS WAS WIDEOPEN!!! 77-yard TD reception from Dillon Gabriel.
Literally, no one from Texas Tech covers Marvin Mims there.
One play. 13 secs. 77-yards.
24-6 #OU with 6:25 left in first half.
— Brandon Drumm (@BrandonDrumm247) November 27, 2022
Or Not?
My advice?
Cover Marvin Mims.
— Josh McCuistion (@Josh_Scoop) November 27, 2022
Seems like the thing to do
My two-cents: someone on TTU's defense should have covered Marvin Mims on that play. No one did so Mims marches in with a 77-yard scoring reception, his second of the night.
That catch takes Mims over 1,000 yards in 2022. Sooners up 24-6 with 6:25 to go before the break.
