At some point, you run out of superlatives and jaws to drop with what we’re seeing from Ohio State receiver Marvin Harrison Jr. The super sophomore already made a tough, contested catch in the corner of the end zone early in the game against Michigan State off a back-foot throw from C.J. Stroud.
But now, he channeled his inner Neo from the Matrix by catching one that was even better — and frankly, unbelievable — in the second half.
With the Buckeyes already up, 35-13, Stroud absorbed some pressure and again went to the same well, throwing off his back foot to Harrison Jr again in the corner of the end zone, and well, you’ll just have to see the catch in slow motion to really appreciate it.
We’ll share the catch with you first for context in case you didn’t see it, but then give you some of the best Twitter reactions and celebrations of the ridiculous effort.
First: The catch
This is just ridiculous by marvelous Marvin. Check out the Matrix type catch for a 19-yard TD. Buckeyes now up 42-13 and cruising early in the 2nd half. #GoBucks #OSUvsMSU https://t.co/bbQcoJjRXN

Rarefied air
Marvin Harrison Jr. makes another spectacular catch for his third touchdown of the day.
Harrison is the first receiver in Ohio State history to catch three touchdowns in three separate games – and he’s only halfway through his sophomore season.

Are. You. Not. Entertained?
Marvin Harrison doesn't surprise me anymore. He can literally catch anything. Good grief is he worth the price of admission by himself.
