Hogan then lofted an intentionally underthrown bomb to Owusu, who somehow caught the pass in the midst of heavy pass interference -- by reaching around Bruin defender Jaleel Wadood and pressing the ball against his opponent's back.

I was wondering about that because he's the only person I've seen say it. Maybe the goal of the play was to draw PI so he wanted to make sure the ball was catchable. Who knows? But it given how slow the play was and how deep Owusu was in the end zone when it got there, I don't think it was that unreasonable of a throw. Should it have been longer? Yeah probably. Am I glad it wasn't? Hell yes.
