Not a favorite play from 2022, nor even from this game, but IMO the most important play in '22 was :

I think great nominee for underrated play of the year. Still 4-5 plays against Oregon I think are the most-important. Beating Oregon was the difference between a good and great season.

I don't think we would have won the Oregon game without the heroics in the beav game. You could almost literally see our beta, loser mentality being stripped away in the 4Q.WoolleyDoog said:I think great nominee for underrated play of the year.

If he doesn't make that catch they still kick a FG and are up with about 50 seconds left. Not sure it was that critical. I always thought McMillan's catch where he wrestled the ball away from the Oregon DB and then popped up and flexed and told them all to suck his dick was the alpha moment of the year for the team.

Not so sure we are a lock to make that fg … it was windy as hell that night … I was close to field level.BleachedAnusDawg said:If he doesn't make that catch they still kick a FG and are up with about 50 seconds left.

We would have had the opportunity to kick it … but a 38 yard we in the wind … -
The other thing about that play was that it should have been reviewed and a fourth down and a half yard to go ..
We were due for some luck so in the end it was a great moment …
There were trees all over I - 90 for the drive home … it was nuts. Freeway signs folded in half. One near Benton City is still not fixed. -
Bo Nix's ankle, rather easily

Great post. Plenty of solid arguments could be made but they mostly miss the point.
One thing I love about the play was that it's the new Cam Davis in a nutshell. His 2022 was all about getting what was needed at all costs, including the cost of some possibly bigger plays if he kept his feet. Instead, if he needed a yard he made damn sure he was getting that yard. On this play, he might've been able to keep his feet but what he really needed was to just catch the ball, and he made damn sure of it. This is why he scored 13 or however many TDs and was the short yardage specialist most of the time. -
This is fair. This is a pretty good tipping point for the season as a whole. While there were some great heroics late in the Oregon game, the fact they came out strong and put themselves within striking distance early and still had a lot to play for really helped that.Gladstone said:

It's still hard for me not to pick Cook's tackle of Nix or the Penix to Taj Davis strike.
