UConn's Tommy Myers makes juggling catch for touchdown (GIF)

Tommy Myers gave us our first circus catch touchdown of 2015.

The UConn tight end juggled the ball for a second before he was able to bring it in in the first half against Villanova on Thursday night.

He also gets points for effort after the catch. He didn't simply have to catch the ball for the touchdown. Myers had to break a couple tackles and dive for the end zone. Take a look.

The point after was blocked so the touchdown gave UConn a 6-0 lead. The Huskies held on to win 20-15. It was the second-straight year Villanova played a team from the northeast close in the first game of the year. The Wildcats lost a close game to Syracuse to start 2014.
