Video: Defender goes airborne to block field goal
Tyler Blakely takes an unusually flighty route in Alabama to block this field goal attempt.

Like most sports hyperbole, the term "over the top" gets used way too often these days.

On occasion, however, it fits perfectly.

Senior RB/LB Tyler Blakely of Collinsville (Ala.) literally went over the top last week - both over his own defensive line and the offensive line of opposing Ider (Ala.) - to block a field goal attempt in Collinsville's 26-7 win.

See for yourself. This play is definitely over the top.
