I'd go with Cannon's punt return on Halloween night because of everything it meant to the team, the streak they were on, and the path it blazed for the program after.

3rd and 17 was pretty damn special considering what it started.

If you have to ask, you really aren't a true Tiger Fan. There should be ZERO/none/nada debate................. BILLY CANNON would kick your azz for asking such an ignorant question.

Cannon's Ole Miss punt return

How about Odell Beckham Jr's punt return in the 2012 Ole Miss game? I'm old enough to have remembered the Cannon run, and what OBJ did in Tiger Stadium the night of Nov. 17, 2012 was literally déjà vu all over again! I was jumping up and down!

One of the most important and meaningful was Burrow to Jefferson, 3rd and 17 against UT in 2019! Without that play, we may not have been holding the title at the end!

1. 1972 Bert Jones to Brad Davis against Ole Miss with 1 second on clock.
2. 1988 Earthquake game - Hodson to Fuller against Auburn.
3. 2019 Burrow to Jefferson when about to be sacked against Texas.

Leaving Cannon's punt return out of your Top 3? W-o-w.

A play that I love and NEVER get tired watching is Burrow to Clyde right before halftime at Bama in 2019. The look on the Bama fans and band members faces was PRICELESS. I needed to change my underwear the first time I saw that.

In retrospect, it doesn't compare to Cannon's run in '59 though....

Cannon.

Modern times maybe the TD to Green vs UGA in 2003

Quite a few to pick

Bluegrass Miracle
Flynn to Byrd

Some other personal favs: Keiland Williams VT run; Mauck to Green UGA 03; several others but I am running late to work


Case closed!
Id add Burrow to Jefferson 3rd and 17 in Austin because I had Burrow at 40-1 and hate everything about the Communists at UT@Austin.
