James Peoples posted one of the best highlights of Ohio State's season before halftime against UCLA.

With less than a minute and a half remaining in the second quarter, Peoples took a handoff to the right side against UCLA's beleaguered defense and made a sharp inside-outside cut to leave one man between him and the end zone. That man, Bruin defensive back Cole Martin, dove at Peoples' thighs in an attempt to stop him.

Peoples leaped what seemed to be 10 feet in the air to hurdle clean over Martin, land on both feet and dash the remaining 9 yards for a 20-yard touchdown.
