Did anyone else notice this quite a few times? The WRs or RBs would catch a pass and then lean over and fall down right away.

Was this from bad passes?

Just playing it safe?

greatest show on turf Rams did this this all the time IIRC

Why get hurt in a bowl game if you're only gonna get like 2 YAC?

Didn't see it much on the Virginia Tech side. But I was swithing back and forth between this and the Hornets, so I didn't see the whole game.

I thought I remember a ton of big plays from that team from yards gained after catches?

I don't know about all that. Ensuring the catch and lessening chances of fumbles? Seems like if you're too preoccupied with falling, you might be more inclined to fumble or miss.

Probably run no huddle in pick up games.

I actually noticed Luck getting pissed at #6 about this once. Seems that receivers were expecting a safety coming in a few times when there was no one there.
