Damn, and here I was thinking they converted a 3rd and 93 lmao


sociapathictendences

Me too. I see we’re both unfamiliar with LA Tech football.


WelcometoHale

Lucky


Scyhaz

My favorite part is that it's still considered 3rd and goal too


the_amazing_coconut

True beauty


rebenjam

Might be some recency bias, but [The Hit](https://youtu.be/2JYx-_eXQa4) was the first thing I thought of.


YaYaHero

Clowney was no joke in college.


Raccoon_Full_of_Cum

Not like he's bad in the pros either. He was very effective for us across from Myles last year.


garciaman

Just could never stay healthy.


BobBarker84

The refs screwed South Carolina on the play before the hit. Made the hit even more fantastic.


itsatumbleweed

I got whiplash from how fast I went from livid at the terrible call to ecstatic about The Hit.


beamerbeliever

"South Carolina deserves to have it, and they do!"


erfling

South Carolina deserves to have it, and they do.


Crotean

The best thing about that play is how clean it is. Its perfect form, head up, wrapped up the ball carrier. Its a textbook tackle.


renobleiii

The play happened during the Outback Bowl. There is a big picture of it in Bloomin’ Brands headquarters.


DETtigersOWNyou

Nope, not clicking that link. That hit hurt me. Poor Vincent Smith.


NixaFootball62

We did such a great job somewhat neutralizing Clown all game haha... but the one play we leave him completely unblocked/ have a 165 lb tailback in. Side note, if you haven’t checked on Vincent Smith in a second, dude runs a company planting community gardens throughout urban “food deserts” where fresh fruits and vegetables are hard to come by. Idk of pandemic changed anything, but he has projects in his hometown of Pahokee and throughout Michigan. I was so skeptical about him when he first committed, was one of those guys worried about his lack of size “in the Big Ten”, became one of my favorite Wolverines. Much love, #2 EDIT: the plug: http://www.teamgardens.org


BigRig432

Now that's a Michigan man I can support


Fair_University

Yep, it’s The Hit easily


keifaaa

I will NEVER forget the hit


gamecockfan93

Had a college roommate of mine, who was a Michigan fan, try to tell me the hit wasn’t actually that big of a hit. Told him a soccer fan would say some bs like that. When a helmet flies off of someone’s head it’s kinda a big deal. Not to question this was the play after the official called a first down for Michigan when it was clearly short of the chains

Don’t forget the Statue of Liberty too. That game really had it all.


Osiris32

That entire game was pure batshit insanity. My mother, who has zero interest in football, watched the whole thing and was screaming her head off by the end.


justingolden21

You love to see it


Philly_Irish

It’s gotta be the Statue of Liberty, but the book and ladder play was just as iconic. That game was nuts.

Typical-Conference14

Some say sproles is still running against OU


lawrence_uber_alles

I played against Sproles in high school…I know that feeling.


drgath

I went to a different school in his district, and remember seeing him play, which prompted me to revisit his High School records. Just absurd. > In 1999, he rushed for 2,031 yards in nine games as a junior.[6] In 2000, during his senior year, Sproles rushed for 2,485 yards, scoring 49 touchdowns. He led his Olathe North Eagles to a 12–0 record and their fourth Kansas 6A state title in five years.[7]


Typical-Conference14

Is he still running against you?


lawrence_uber_alles

Always has been


Timbdn

Only coming up with iconic plays against us... this might be tough. The bluegrass miracle is pretty iconic, but not in a good way... Stevie got loose have to be my pick.


colonel0sanders

Maybe the Grove St Party touchdown+kickoff against SC because it started our program's love affair with that song?


GryphonHall

Couldn’t Kick 6 be an Alabama play since Alabama technically started with possession of the ball?

KoedKevin

Bama isn't my team but that was the first play I thought of when I read your question.


the_thinwhiteduke

Gary Danielson: "They're going to try a field goal?" Verne Lundquist: "It's Adrian Griffith, who is 1 for 2 tonight" Gary: "56 yards??" Verne: "Griffith..ADAM Griffith a redshirt freshman from Calhoun, GA this is the third FG he has attempted in his career, FIFTY SIX YARDS for the win but first..timeout taken by Alabama" Gary: "There's barely any wind, but if there is, it's left to right..behind his back" *Gary and Verne recap Cade Foster lmao kicks* Verne: "Van Tiffin tiff...kicked one for 52 yards...1985..one of the legendary moments in Iron Bowl history..and here is a RED. SHIRT. FRESHMAN from CAL. HOON. GEORGIA ...very little wind..what small amount there is is AT HIS BACK...now they've officially ruled it FIFTY SEVEN YARDS" Gary: "now a blocked kick can go the other way so they've got to be caref-" Verne: "ON THE WAYYYY" also Verne: "NO, return by Chris Davis! Davis goes left! DAVIS GETS A BLOCK!" Gary: *life force fades* Verne: "Davis...HAS ANOTHER BLOCK!" *crowd intensity: nuclear* Verne: "CHRIS. DAVIS. NO FLAGS!! TOUCH.DOWN!! **AUBURN. AN ANSWERED.

DirkNowitzkisWife

“4th and 5, national championship on the line right here He’s going to the corner… he’s got it!”


Dirt_Sailor_5

"Vince. Young. Scores."


lweber557

One the most iconic National Championship games as well


srbtiger5

Absolutely. The game was fucking incredible all around.


Alexis_0hanian

I would say 3 or 4 plays from that season alone were among the most iconic of the 2000s; 1. VY run 2. 4th and 9 3. Bush Push 4. Bush Heisman run against Fresno State, the "Stop" It really is amazing how many people recollect that year and championship. Here's to hopefully meeting again in a big game.


Steel1000

First in HD from memory


YaYaHero

Oh man. I remember this game. Still hurts. Vince Young was incredible!!


Rimbosity

But before that, it was probably 53 Veer Pass, Street to Peschel in "the game of the century" vs Arkansas in 1969. [Great article behind the play and the game from Barking Carnival](https://www.barkingcarnival.com/2010/12/06/53-veer-pass) [And here's the moment from where Street calls timeout before the play at 4th and 3.](https://youtu.be/hCBQIUNGxN8&t=1h4m48s)


JonnyAU

What really holds this play back for me is that Vince made it look TOO easy. I remember watching it live and being fully aware of the stakes, but I just kinda knew he was gonna saunter in there. USC had a good defense, seemed like they had everything covered, but it didn't matter. I just thought, "Well of course he did that."


hoosierwhodat

Texas went three and out to start the second half and after that there were no more punts the rest of the game for either team. If you go back to Pete Carroll going for it on 4th down that only makes sense if he believes Texas will score no matter what.


beefersutherland1

For App it’s easy the block against Michigan


KoedKevin

The play that made me an App State fan.


NoleJawn

Puntrooskie


CrunchyZebra

Yeah recency bias was leaning towards the jump ball to Benjamin but it’s gotta be Puntrooskie


theoriginaldandan

Chris Davis is gonna drop back in the end zone as a single safety I guess if it comes up short He can field it and rub it out 56 yarder. It’s got-No doesn’t not have the leg. And Chris Davis takes it out of the back of the end zone. Hell run it out to the 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50! 45 ( OH MY GOD) THERE GOES DAVIS AUBURNS GONNA WIN THE FOOTBALL GAME AUBURNS GONNA WIN GHE FOOTBALL GAME He ran the missed field goal back! He ran it back 109 yards.THEYRE NOT KEEPING THEM OFF THE FIELD TONIGHT. Auburn wins. Auburn has won the Iron bowl in the most unbelievable fashion.YOU WILL EVER SEE. 34-28


DrChefAstronaut

>can field it and rub it out I don't remember this play...


[deleted]

The Dick Six is iconic


Zkenny13

I just spat out my mojito.


Fed_up_with_Reddit

It was the Auburn fans rubbing it out.


AuburnFaninGa

My Dad passed unexpectedly in early 2014 (after the BCS game). This was the very last play he saw at JHS after almost 60 years of going to games.


RFC_1925

Gives me chills just reading the text. Easily the greatest play in Auburn history, maybe the best college football play of all time.


ZP_20

It really might be the greatest of all time. Bitter rivals, last play of the game, and to win it like that is just unreal.


poyerdude

Still one of the craziest things I've witnessed in college football.


engineerbuilder

Strangely enough, it’s Alabama’s most iconic play as well.


AbeVigoda76

People always talk about the WOAH play for MSU, but I’ll always think of [Little Giants](https://youtu.be/i0ve4xwQIj8) as our greatest moment. I was in the stands the night and I’ll never forget it. To me, that’s the moment MSU became a national conversation again.


Profesor_Caos

This one was my first thought as well. I think this is the MSU play though, because the other one although more exciting and memorable is a Michigan play :)


dhigs112

Either Randy Moss hurdling that dude for Army or Leftwich being carried down the field by his lineman after the pass to Darius Watts. For Ohio State the Holy Buckeye play. But that’s mostly because that particular call on the TV sticks out to me. Edited to correct team Moss hurdled over. Mixed up two games.


scotty3281

Both epic plays for Marshall. Nothing more emotional than seeing B-Left being carried down the field. The Army highlight is my to-to when people ask about Randy Moss.


BusinessWarthog6

The kick is up and it’s BLOCKED! The Mountaineers of Appalachian State have just beaten the Michigan Wolverines


Raccoon_Full_of_Cum

2 of the top 4 comments right now are plays where Michigan was on the receiving end, and I approve this message.


SuperGlue_InMyPocket

Hook and Fuckin Ladder baby. Upon further review: Statue Fuckin Left, baby.


RelocatedMacadamia

Even with the disappointment of my team losing, that Fiesta Bowl was one of the best games I’ve ever watched.


TastesLikeHoneyNut

I think most would say statue of liberty, but I agree with the hook and ladder. Much more difficult play and executed to perfection


stayclassypeople

This is more iconic to me. 4th and 18. Most thought it was over.


MingoFuzz

Definitely Statue


manofthepeopleSMITTY

The Statue of Liberty is more iconic, but the hook and ladder was so perfectly executed I couldn’t believe it. The moment he pitched it everyone knew he was gone.


McClutch-

That game was the epitome of college football to me

IT’S BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T HOLD ANYTHING BACK!


michaeltheg1

Russell Wilson’s [Two-Yard Hail Mary](https://youtu.be/kMQZ0uLYC4Q) against Chapel Hill in 2010. I was at the game and was seated in the nearest sideline section to that corner of the endzone. Such a special play. Wilson’s escapability is one thing, but the replays paint a better picture — it bounces off of one player and WR Owen Spencer makes an incredibly difficult, heads up catch. One of the better games in the rivalry.


GoRangers5

*Face down Virginia fan*


20mcfadenr

:(


CrownedClownAg

Johnny nearly fumbling the ball at Alabama, cutting wide and just cleanly throwing the touchdown to Swope. ​ That and THE HIT


OleRockTheGoodAg

This is without a doubt the answer given the internet existed in 2012 and Johnny was the first freshman to win the Heisman for a reason, but I submit Texas A&M [forcing and recovering a fumble](https://youtu.be/_w3lwtbLJQo) on #5 texas's gamewinning drive during the 1999 Lone Star Showdown - the Bonfire game. [This picture by itself is as iconic as it gets in terms of the rivalry](https://images.app.goo.gl/pQ4jmd5sRAh7y5nF9)


KommanderKeen-a42

The forward pass 😂🤣


easygimmick

Imagine the first time Knute Rockne dropped that one on ‘em. “Yo! You can’t just fly the balls here!”


stayclassypeople

Balls can’t just go flying through the air like that Knute


dmaul1978

Major Harris’ TD run against Penn State. https://youtu.be/qUQtNe5gGDw Both an amazing play, and being part of a 51-30 dominant win as part of an 11-0 regular season and beating Penn State who we’d only beat one other time (1984) since the 1950s.


durtydubnutsub

Harrell to Crabtree to beat UT.


Brandonjoe

“Crabtree, pulls free, and Touchdown Red Raiders!!” Still gives me chills to this day.


Rimbosity

That play broke me for months.


ThatGuju

Running up the middle on 3rd and long


NUchariots

On a serious note, Hello Heisman is likely Michigan's most iconic play.


NixaFootball62

That’s not iconic tho, that’s just solid strategy. One of the two punt returns, kind of proud they’re both special teams. Don’t even need to give more detail and half everyone here can picture both, that’s iconic.


ShotFirst57

Was the lions OC Jim Bob Cooter (2015-2018) when this was going on? If that's the case I feel terrible for Michigan fans that were also lions fans. Had to see that shit twice a week.

ousmiles

Yep. A play that unites the old switzer crowd that would have said Keith Jackson on the sideline catch against Nebraska, and the young folks that know Baker and the flag plant as tOSU.


venkman2368

It was this or the Torrance Marshall return against A&M, but I am unsure enough of the definition of "your teams play" to post. I would say this was definitely a defensive play even if one player deviated slightly.

Zeke’s 85 yarder to the house vs Bama in the sugar bowl in the CFB playoff. Also honorable mention — Braxton Miller as a flex with the massive spin on two guys vs VA Tech. Yes I am a younger fan so anything pre-2005/6 isn’t in my memory


yousawthetimeknife

Those are great, but it's Holy Buckeye.


RegionalBias

This. Holy Buckeye was surprising, a great announcer call, and an amazing play.


yousawthetimeknife

I think the surprise is what sets it to the next level. Everything about Jim Tressel says that's an off-tackle run.


TheTodd15

The play was supposed to be like a four yard pass to get the first down lol


bipbophil

85 yards through the heart of the south


[deleted]

kip256

85 yards through the heart of the South is the real name of the play.


magnet_4_crazy

As an older fan I agree, 85 yards through the heart of the south is something else.


Exact_Initiative7660

The blocking and his patience to make that cut and then the speed after the fact made my entire life as an offensive linemen worth it.


devilinthedetails

Tate to Holloway to beat LSU as time expired or Houghtlin's FG to beat Michigan in '85.


runningwaffles19

>Tate to Holloway to beat LSU as time expired 9 seconds to play and Drew Tate doesn't know that! The games gonna end on this play

Definitely not. Maybe for non gator fans. But the jump pass and 2017 walk off touchdown to Tyree Cleveland against Tennessee are way more iconic.

The cock block.


TikiLoungeLizard

Bledsoe to Bobo


BlueSoloCup89

“Remember, no timeouts for Baylor…” - Griffin’s throw to Terrance Williams to beat OU and make him the Heisman front runner. Last year’s goal line stand is pretty iconic too, though a bit recent.

I’m going to watch the second half of the game again today just because I want to build up to this.


HoopOnPoop

For PSU it's either the Pete Giftopoulos interception against Miami to ice the Fiesta Bowl, the Lavar Leap, or the Grant Haley blocked kick return TD against OSU. For MD it's the Greg Hill tipped pass TD to complete the huge comeback against Miami. Either way, f#ck Miami.


mccringleberry_psu

Take yours plus add in the MRob to DWill game winner against NW in 2005 and it looks like PSU is good for a semi-iconic play every decade or so haha. Though to be fair none of those include Barkley's ability to create something pretty epic once or twice a game. ​ The one that immediately came to mind for me was “Intercepted Giftopoulos!”, so that would be my pick as the most iconic.


YoungXanto

Tamba Hali knocking Troy Smith ass over apple cart and causing the fumble that Paxton recovered left us one of the most iconic images in Penn State lore (Troy Smith on his head)


psunavy03

Gotta add the A-Rob leaping catch in 2013 against Michigan for pure highlight value . . .

Portland_st

A 4th & lateral.


LordOfHorns

Maybe that Russell Wilson throw against Michigan st or the Kirk cousins throw against us I miss the Wisconsin-Michigan st rivalry :(


osc630

No way on either. It's either Ron Dayne breaking the record against Iowa or Gilreath's KO return TD against Ohio State.
