Reader Photo: Praying in the end zone
- Share via
Steve Neimand photographed University of Oregon football players Darren Carrington and Chance Allen during a match against UCLA at the Rose Bowl on Oct. 11.
“I guess what struck me was that two people were having such a intimate moment while surrounded by 100,000 rabid fans in the stands in full party mode,” Neimand said. “Several UCLA players had also been praying in the same end zone a few minutes earlier, which made me wonder whose side God was on that day.”
Oregon defeated UCLA 42-30.
Neimand used a Canon EOS 70D.
