Bama 2019

Clyde's first down run on 1st & 10 right after the Onside kick. The Oline literally push/carried him 10 yards to seal the game.

Donny Jones' walk-off punt with 8 seconds left to win the 2004 BCS championship. It had been SOOOOOO long since we'd won it all (5 years before I was born!) and watching the clock run out as the ball hung in the air and then rolled on the field was indescribable.

Joe Burrow getting blind sided in the bowl game against UCF. That awakened the beast and that’s when the 2019 run began.

Tre Morgan play charging the ball and flipping it to the catcher for the out at home seems pretty big


This and Ray Wrights catch are the definition of non-scoring plays

That may go on the list of the most overrated plays. Burrow was a tremendous competitor BEFORE that play happened. It's not like one hit changed everything about him and made a timid, mediocre player, into a great player.

What "awakened the beast" was the addition of the guy to the LSU staff who is now the Buffalo Bills head coach. HE unleased the ability of all of the All American/future All Pro talent on the 2019 team. If Ensminger would have been the actual playcaller/play designer in 2019 that hit would have been largely forgotten because LSU would have been a 9-3 (maybe 10-2) team in 2019.

Also 2011, Eric Reid INT vs Bama.



This sure seemed like the play of the year. It did win an SEC title, rven if it didn't end up quite as satisfying as we might have hoped.

Jarrick Bernard-Converse dislodging the ball from the Bama receiver on what would have been a first down on the final drive of the 2022 game.

His pick to start the game was incredible and set the tone for the evening, however that play saved the ballgame because Bama most likely scores a TD and pulls yet another heartbreaker out of their arse in TS. Instead we went to OT and had quite possibly the greatest finish to a game in TS history.

Laron Landry's blitz against Bama in '06. It was like the red sea parted and he just destroyed John Parker Wilson.


The commentary was the best to compliment that sack

"They held somebody, but they didn't hold Laron Landry" - Gary

"He hit Brody Croyle on a play like that last year." - Gary

"I bet Brody still feels it" - Verne

As much as Miles ran the toss dive and how well the reverse worked vs BAMA, he never ran that play again. I was always looking for it!

This +1000. If HB avoided the shoestring tackle by that last defender, it’s potentially the greatest punt returns ever.

I remember the 3rd and 7 or 8 run against Bama that led to the touchdown in the 4th quarter. I just can't remember the lil running backs name. 5th year senior.

I remember the Landry catch in tiger stadium that was just about impossible catch against Arky. Mett was qb.

All Jacob Hester 4th down runs against Florda in 2007.

Eric Reid picking off that bama trick play in 2011 was pretty clutch

I don’t remember that Burrow 4th down against Auburn 2018 but vividly recall his interview on field after the big win and FG.

I’ve searched for that interview but could never find it. It was the first time hearing Burrow’s unique confidence in self and team.

To this day, that Jarvis catch doesn't get the appreciation it deserves. Unreal play.

Devery’s kickoff return after the 93 yard screen pass TD against UGA in 2003.

stole the momentum right back from them and led to Mauck to Green for the win.
