This week's hero is actually the 3rd hero this week, Electronically Rendered Football Player #84, Joe Preston. Here's why from the man who nominated him, Taylor "Stitch" Palfrey:

"I was playing NCAA Football 2002 for PS2, playing as UCF against Air Force. We were down 10-7, undefeated thus far in my first season as head coach at UCF, as the clock ticked down to 0 at Falcon Stadium. I saw my receiver, #84 Joe Preston, head toward the end zone and I launched it. He caught the ball with his back toe dragging the end zone as the time ran out, winning the game 14-10 for UCF. I mean, just look at that catch!!"

I agree, Stitch. If #84 were real, I would kiss him on the lips.
