Echoing the theme above of game I've actually watched (not just heard about later or saw highlights of that night), it'd probably be the 99/00 Outback Bowl UGA vs Purdue.

We were down 25-0 against a drew brees led purdue in the 2nd quarter and ended up winning 28-25 in overtime. It was at the time the largest bowl comeback in history and stood for a few years before I think a marshall/ecu (or something similar) game broke it.

2001 GMAC Bowl

Marshall came down from 38-8 at halftime to beat East Carolina. Byron Leftwich was the QB. Final score was 64-61 (had to look that part up). It was insane.

Or LSU/Troy

FSU coming back to tie Florida in 1994. They trailed 31-3 in the 4th quarter.

LSU-Troy in person. Down 31-3 at one point

I was too young for the classic Bills-Oilers game but I did watch the Colts-Chiefs game a few years ago when the Colts were down 38-10 and won.

I watched the entire T-Mac comeback against the Spurs as I just happened to stumble upon it while flipping through channels. That was pretty amazing to see, but would have been better in person.

I remember Maryland coming back to beat duke when they were down 11 or 12 with 50 seconds left. That was like 15 years ago

While it may not be the biggest point wise, the Colts 21 point comeback with 4 minutes left to beat the Buccaneers back in 2003 was amazing.

Colts - Bucs in 2003. Bucs were defending champs and winning 35-14 with 3:50 left in the 4th quarter...Colts, led by Peyton, won.

Here is a 2 minute video on it.

Game 6 of the NBA Western Semis this past year, Rockets were down 17 points with 1 minute and 15 seconds left in the 3rd quarter.

Not only did they come back and win, but they won by 15 points.

That's a 32 point swing in about 1 quarter.

And considering they were facing elimination, that was a huge comeback.

Either Bills vs. Oilers or

Kentucky vs. LSU basketball. I think the deficit was 31 at one point?
