Few players get a chance at redemption mere moments after what could be considered their greatest failure. Arizona receiver Bug Wright got just that chance.

Wright muffed a punt that led to an Iowa touchdown and then, with the game tied,  dropped a sure touchdown pass. With the game on the line, what did the Cats do? They went right back to Wright. Nick Foles threaded the needle and found Wright for the game winning score.

There was genuine relief in the voice of Wright who went from goat to hero in less than half an hour.
