This is a great shot - could not meet the challenge any better. So much action going on and its all in great focus. Looks like a shot from Sports Illustrated! High score:)

Good clear shot and well exposed - not easy with all that white. I like that you got the defender in mid-air, it adds alot to the shot. Could stand a tighter crop on the right of the frame, otherwise composition is spot on.

Great action here! There is so much going on in this photo! One good rule in sports is to crop as tightly as possible, there is a lot of extra grass around that you could have cropped out.... Love that guy in the air though!

Too bad Wake Forest lost this one, 16-10! A well-done shot with an impressive zoom here. I especially like the position of Gilbert Gardner (#16) as he tries to block it.
