His throw to Early during the "home" game at ASU is one of my favorite plays.

4thh and 10 I think,1:13in the 4th quarter, throws a dart to early in the corner of the end-zone, 40 yard TD

I was in the stands that night, and the moment he released that ball my first thought was, "We lost." I knew, knew, that there was no way that ball could get there in time. The physics just would not allow it. But somehow the ball just went in an impossibly long, impossibly fast arc just in time. I was stunned. I remember joking shortly afterwards that he had somehow created a warp bubble through pure arm strength.

It was amazing, and one of the few football plays that were literally awesome to me.
