"Auburn's Gonna Win the Football Game"

[Indndawg]

SECN crown the 'kick six' as the greatest play in college football history.

SECN crown the 'kick six' as the greatest play in college football history.

I'll still place Lindsay Scott's TD against UF or even Cal vs. Stanford higher.

[ShotgunDawg]

I’d have to agree.

What’s crazy is that Auburn may most of the top plays in CFB history. For some reason, they’ve been blessed with some really improbable wins.

The kick 6 & the “The Prayer at Jordan Hair” vs UGA could be 1 and 2 alone.

MSU has virtually none that I can think of. Maybe the Kick, pick, kick vs Eli in the Egg Bowl. Other than that, we’ve had very little luck. Not sure why

1998 vs ark was pretty improbable... with freshman madkin, we had what 2 3rd and 18s and a 4th and long?

I would add Doug Flutie's hail mary against Miami in 84 and Kordell Stewart's hail mary against Michigan. If memory serves those were both done on the road.

The thing about the Kick 6 to me is that it really was Bama being unprepared that caused it. I prefer plays that seemed to be divine intervention (The Prayer at Jordan Hare, the Kick/Pick/Kick), raw athleticism that created something special (Lindsay Scott), or something truly bizarre (the band being on the field). But, yes, Auburn does have that lucky horseshoe.

For sure, but I’m talking about miracle, game ending plays. Auburn has a virtual monopoly

To me those are just Hail Mary’s and Hail Mary’s are fairly common. They media has pumped those two plays, but to me there are many others that are more improbable and bigger miracles. Both of Auburn’s are.

The Kick 6 was absolutely divine intervention

When does MSU get this type of moment? I’d soil myself

Don't get me wrong, it was a solid kick return. But, it is was much more about 1 coach recognizing that he could potentially use a little used quark in the rules vs. a team that wasn't paying enough attention to what was going on. I don't find anything divine about that. The Prayer, the kick/pick, or that dang lateral by the Hawgs against OM is divine intervention.

The kick, pick, kick was not Eli, that was Romaro Miller. Eli was on the sidelines redshirting as a true freshman that season.

Didn?t Lindsay Scott?s TD cost us a trip to the Sugar Bowl?

The Piss and Miss was pretty great. One man?s opinion.

[Bdawg]

I'll second that!!

[Maroonthirteen]

I would agree. That was a out of nowhere, wow, game winning TDs in a rivalry game.

Stanford/Cal..... Cal dude was down about the 2nd pitch. That gets called back now a days.


Sec games of note, not mentioned yet.... LSU v UK a few years back. UK had already gave the coach a gatoraid bath. The ball was batted and LSU ran under it for a game winning/ending TD.

State.... Auburn game in 99 was a unreal ending.
Bama game 1980. Everyone watching thought Bama was punching it in for the win.

[Todd4State]

Eli throwing that INT would have literally been the only way that the pass, tip, pick, and kick could have been better.

Were you around for 1999?

Auburn, LSU, and Ole Miss just off the top of my head- and Kentucky as well.

I can definitely buy Arkansas 1998 as well.

We also won a key game in 1994 over a good South Carolina team on the road where Taite hit Chris Jones for a TD in the closing second of the game. That was a pretty big win that helped get us into the Peach Bowl that year. Wasn't on TV so it's largely forgotten.

Most of our big wins over Dan were like LSU and Auburn 2014 or Georgia 2010 where we had the lead most of the game and just controlled it rather than some miracle at the end.

[FISHDAWG]

For sure, but I?m talking about miracle, game ending plays. Auburn has a virtual monopoly

The Snow Bowl ending perhaps ?

[FISHDAWG]

what year was the Field goal against a hurricane force wind where the ball blew back over the kickers head ... It was either against OM or Arkansas

[viverlibre]

The Cal-Standford band on field kick off return would have to be up there.

[State82]

1983 Egg Bowl. I was there and it truly did suck.

[Johnson85]

LSU has a championship b/c UK tipped a hailmary instead of batting it down (I think that was the year?). May have been the year LSU somehow won a championship with two losses.

ETA: I was way off. 2002 when LSU went 8-5 (5-3) in Saban's 3rd season.

Wait, Shotgun was wrong about something! He's slipping bad.

Full on avalanche

Billy Canon's run against Ole Miss is better than that Auburn play.

If UF had won, I think Bama would have been SEC champ at 6-1; and UGA, MSU, and UF would have finished in a tie for second at 5-1. Odd schedule note - Bama and Ole Miss both played 7 SEC games in 1980 and 1981. Any of you older guys remember why?

Was there somebody that had to forfeit that year because of sanctions or ineligible players or something? I think back in the day, forfeited wins dropped off of the opponents record also, and when they switched to "vacating" wins, the losing team was still stuck with the loss on the schedule. Is it possible that everybody played 7 games but there was an east team that forfeited to make it look like a lot of people only played 6 by record?

ETA: Looked at the schedule and that's not it. I'm guessing maybe somebody used a non-SEC slot to schedule an extra SEC game and it wasn't officially a conference game, and people compiling records have just over time stopped notating which one was official?

ETA2: With it being Bama and Ole MIss with 7 games in 1980 and 1981, I'm thinking maybe they weren't scheduled to play each other by the conference for some reason so they added each other as "nonconference" games?

I was in the endzone. Raised my hands in victory, then suddenly

[Liverpooldawg]

I was too. It was going to be good.

[Schultzy]

Didn?t Lindsay Scott?s TD cost us a trip to the Sugar Bowl?

Yep

[Intramural All-American]

The Michigan-Michigan State punt-fumble is probably the most improbable to me. Absolutely unbelievable. And if I remember correctly, the guy who scored the touchdown broke his hip in the celebration and never was able to play regularly again.

[maroonmania]

I'll still place Lindsay Scott's TD against UF or even Cal vs. Stanford higher.

Please don't bring up the Lindsay Scott TD. That one play cost MSU the Sugar Bowl in 1980.

ETA: Just saw this had already been brought up but its still sickening.

[lastmajordog]

Arky 4th and impossible half field throw back first down and then score against om has to be up in the top 10. That and Arky?s overtime win against Eli. Also the Willie Blade x point block and run back agaist A&M or Bo Wallace fumble into the end zone was strong stuff. as far as ref big play the “Dick Pace reverse interference” call was the most sickening thing I’ve ever seen, and yes I saw the wind kick.

Nope. We would have gone.

Ole Miss games vs bama didn't count as an sec game.

Johnny Vaught is why.

Man, great reference. I had forgotten about that ending. I saw it happen live and was amazed. Yep. Good one to consider for best ever.
