What is the greatest CFB play you've ever seen?

Obviously it didn't mean anything on the national stage, unlike many of these other plays/games, but that game was absolutely batshit insane, lol. Honestly, probably the craziest football game i've ever personally seen.GrundleStiltzkin said:

In the non-buzzer-beating category, Tommie Frazier running over the entire state of Florida in the putative national championship game wins, hands down. Pure shock and awe.
Other quality buzzer-beating moments that bear mention...

watched a million football games with my 2 dads but I think that might always be the most memorableMeek said:many of those plays I have seen videos of, but the most incredible one I remember seeing live is the hook and ladder Boise State v Oklahoma. To me that play was much more impressive than the Vince Young scramble to the end zone....but then you follow-up the hook and ladder with the Statue of Fucking Liberty and whoa....then you add in the RB dropping to a knee and asking the cheerleader to marry him???? This is a movie, right?

3rd and 43. Your welcome.
It wasn't game determining; Miami was going to kick #1 Notre Dame's ass irregardless.
But still, when the announcers are joking that there's no play call for 3rd and 43, and they are literally chuckling as Craig Erickson drops back into his end zone and, with his bazooka of an arm, lazers a perfect pass to Thrill Hill for 44 yards on the mark, splitting two ND defenders in the process, and then with Hill's penchant for entertaining celebration, and Lou Holtz slobbering all over himself, well, as you might guess from this run-on sentence, it was a fine moment for creepycoug. -

Tank Johnson chasing Jason Gesser down from behind giving him a high ankle sprain.
Semi-recency bias, but that was a pretty exciting game especially considering how big a game it was for WSU and how little UW had to play for. -
I think it has to be the Iron Bowl Kick Six based on all the factors in play. Rivalry, title race implications, just sheer improbability, etc.

Also in the non-buzzer-beating, shock-and-awe category, I have to mention my man George Teague. His strip play in the ‘93 Sugar Bowl was a straight-up fucking miracle:

The turnover was ultimately nullified by a defensive holding penalty. But had Teague not run down Lamar Thomas’s breakaway, or had he merely tackled him after a huge gain, Miami would have declined the penalty. It was a massive, massive momentum-shifting play with the National Championship on the line. -
Final drive 2000 Stanford game.
'nuff said on that. -
Another Bama pick 6 to win the first SEC Championship game. Roy Cramer had signed a one year TV deal for the game betting that they could get more after one was played. He was right. They asked for Rose Bowl money and got it

Gene Stallings was a good and likeable coach. People forget that Bama wasn't the automatic stop for cfb talent in those days. They'd been asleep for a long while; and Stallings had to build that team at a time when Bama didn't "recruit itself."TTJ said:Also in the non-buzzer-beating, shock-and-awe category, I have to mention my man George Teague.

My favorite part of that wasn't the play itself (mostly), but the announcers jabbering about it. Last thing you hear before the snap is "it's important ... every yard they gain here adds to the punt, so [blah blah blah]."dnc said:

And, not only that, but the nature of the play. It wasn't some busted coverage where he's all alone behind everyone and Erickson just threw a hail mary. Hill ran a very deliberate route, split the corner and the safety, who were still there to make a play, and Erickson threw just a fucking dime if there ever was one thrown to right where Hill was supposed to be. It was a called play Brando fs.
I always thought Erickson didn't get enough credit as a great Miami QB. He was very solid and physically more gifted than many of them. Kid had a rocket for an arm. -

OJ was a fucking freak in terms of speed & size and, along with Gayle Sayers, the best cut-back runner of all tim. -

Great game. A UNC player hit a double pump three the play before. Probably the best basketball title game I’ve seen.TTJ said:

Correction: The defensive flag was for offsides, not holding.creepycoug said:

But the looks on the faces of the Miami cheerleaders said it all:
