Power Echols snags impossible interception off his toe in Holiday Bowl

Posted Dec 28, 2022
The Holiday Bowl saw one of the wildest plays of the college football season after UNC linebacker Power Echols grabbed an interception off his foot. A ball was tipped off the intended receiver’s hand and ricocheted off a fellow Tar Heel defender’s calf — popping up in front of Echols. Echols then managed to pop the ball up into the air off his own toe. (On3.com)
