Non-scoring? 1 - 2007 Florida - Jacob Hester 4th down conversion. 2 - 2007 Florida - Jacob Hester 4th down conversion. 3 - 2007 Florida - Jacob Hester 4th down conversion.

Everyone in the stadium knew Hester was getting it, and they just couldn’t stop it. Just straight up hard nosed “I’m better than you” football.

I’ve always thought the exact same thing. It was so bizarre he just sort of did a random ballerina twirl/kick thing out of bounds at the two yard line.

All of Jacob Hester's first down runs to keep the drive alive against Florida in 2007. Still one of my favorite games, and one of my favorite Tigers.

Technically the Brad Wing fake punt was a non scoring play…

Also 2011, Eric Reid INT vs Bama.


Would've been one of the greatest plays in our history except for how '11 ended.

Justin Vincent's long run vs OU in natty game.
Any of Josh Jasper's fakes (punt vs Bama in '10 or the legendary bounce-and-bolt vs UF).
Jarrett Lee's clutch 3rd down throw to Rueben Randle vs Bama in '10.

I've always assumed he just didn't expect JJ to make such a great block. JJ absolutely laid out Mark Barron in the open field

If he anticipated that, he could have easily cut up field and scored.

The swagger of that team was badass. probably one of my favorite plays I remember from the student section going berserk and then the boos were even louder when the TD got reversed for TAUNTING!

You know you got it when even your punter is taunting the opposition

2003 LSU v. Georgia. Corey Webster intercepts David Greene to seal the deal around 3:00 minute mark. How many times that year was it broadcast the Greene and David Pollack played youth and junior high football together. Oh, and also remember how the sports world said we couldn't beat Georgia twice until we did. #SECChamp. And then we beat Mr. Heisman. #Natty

Whenever these threads come up an ancillary aspect is the revelation of just how many poster don't know what the term "underrated" means.

Many, including Brad Nessler and Gary Danielson, tabbed that play Burrow's "Heisman Moment". I don't think any thinks that play was "underrated".

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve thought about that Clyde Helaire play. He caught it on his shoe strings turned and just steam rolled and willed his way to a first down. That was incredible.

These are talked about all the time, so you can’t really call them underrated.

Crazy that Auburn of all teams was the closest to giving us a blemish

The 4th and 10 conversion in the 1988 earthquake game prior to the TD. People forget about that conversion. I forget the tight end name but it was Hodson pass that went for about 10.5 yards after breaking several tackles to convert
