Cast your vote for the best catch of Week 12 (Videos)

Each Monday, we’ll gather the best catches from the weekend (or the midweek games) and bring them here for you to vote on in a poll. There could be only a few nominees, or there could be five or six. It all depends on the weekend. If you have a catch you’d like to nominate, don’t hesitate to hit us up on Twitter (@YahooDrSaturday).

The voting remains open until Friday and the winner advances to a final, end of the year vote where the best catch of the season will be determined. And since we started this midway through the season, some of our favorite catches from the first half will re-surface at the end of the season as well. Don’t you worry.

Another week, another MAC receiver taking home catch of the week honors. This time in Week 11 it was Akron’s Austin Wolf who was our top vote getter with this impressive diving grab.

This round of voting wasn’t even close. Wolf took home a whopping 53 percent of the vote with Temple’s Robby Anderson (27 percent), Michigan State’s Macgarrett Kings Jr. (13 percent), Cal’s Kenny Lawler (5 percent) and Arizona’s Nate Phillips (1 percent) rounding out the voting.

Here are the Week 12 nominees:

Richard Mullaney - Alabama

Oregon State grad transfer Richard Mullaney has been a nice addition to the Alabama offense. While Calvin Ridley and ArDarius Stewart develop into stars, Mullaney has been a reliable target for Jake Coker and showcased his awesome hands with a first quarter TD catch against Charleston Southern.

The 6-foot-3 Mullaney showed off a great vertical leap and managed to get his right foot down inbounds and keep possession of the ball as he fell to the ground. That's a tough play.

Gehrig Dieter - Bowling Green

Roger Lewis gets all the hype among the Bowling Green receiving corps, but junior Gehrig Dieter is also having a great season for the Falcons. Dieter had 13 catches for 103 yards and three touchdowns last week against Toledo, and two of those TD catches were phenomenal. First, late in the first half, he hauled in this pass with only his left hand and maintained possession for a score.

If that wasn't enough, he made a similar catch -- this time with his right hand on the opposite side of the end zone -- for another Falcons score.

Catches like this are why you can never overlook midweek #MACtion.

Trevor Davis - California

During Saturday night's game at Stanford, Cal cut the Cardinal lead down to 21-16 late in the third quarter. That would not have happened without this tough one-handed catch from Trevor Davis. Jared Goff hit Davis on a skinny post, and Davis brought the pass in with one handed and held on before taking a huge hit.

Here's a closer look at Davis' one-handed snag.

That 20-yard gain allowed the Bears to score three plays later. Though Stanford eventually pulled away, Davis had a nice game with seven catches for 80 yards.

Terry Godwin - Georgia

Georgia freshman Terry Godwin made a big play to help his team avoid an upset from Georgia Southern. With the Bulldogs trailing 14-7 late in the third quarter, Godwin made a diving touchdown catch on a nice pass from Grayson Lambert to tie the game at 14.

Godwin used every inch of his 5-foot-11 frame to make a clutch play for the Bulldogs, who went on to win 23-17 in overtime. On top of that, it was the first career touchdown for the five-star freshman. That's good timing.

Fred Ross - Mississippi State

Fred Ross has quietly been one of the best receivers in the SEC this season, and he showcased his skills with an awesome touchdown catch in the second quarter against Arkansas.

Mississippi State quarterback Dak Prescott found Ross 20 yards downfield. The ball was thrown a bit behind Ross, but he leapt in the air and snagged it with his right hand. Ross then made two Arkansas defensive backs miss and scampered 35 yards for a Bulldogs touchdown.
