What is your top 5 defensive plays for Mississippi State?

[BankerDog]

You have to go within your lifetime but number one, in my opinion regardless of age, is Tyrone Keys sack against Bama to seal the deal.

1) Keys sack against Bama
2) The Tip, Pick, and Kick
3) Anthony Johnson pick six vs Bama.
4) Goal-Line Stand vs. Bama right before halftime. Shula's last year.
5) Nickoe Whitley forced fumbles: UGA 2010, Arkansas and Ole Miss 2013.

Nickoe has really made some big plays for this university. As much hell as people have given me him, me included, he has done a whole lot for this program.

I'll go with those--nice

[FlabLoser]

If put the 100 yard pick 6 of Tim Tebow over the Bama one.

[Todd4State]

I'd like to find a way to put in Keo Coleman destroying Tommy Luke in there as well.

[FlabLoser]

I want to say Johnnie Cooks has blocked a punt for a TD. And when I say blocked, I mean caught it off the end of the punter's foot.

Mine:

1. Tyrone Keys hit vs Bama
2. The tip, kick, and pick
3. The blocked XP and run back in OT of the Snow Bowl
4. Whitley's strip of Wallace
5a. Rob Fesmire breaking WR Breck Tyler's collarbone and leg in the 1982 Egg Bowl on a viscious hit over the middle(Tyler had transferred from State to OM)
5b. Keo Coleman damn near killing Tom Luke in the 91 Egg Bowl

[Will James]

Some more to ponder.

Pegues pick-6 at Auburn in that W
Forcing the 3rd and 57 or whatever that was vs FLA
Josh Morgan destroying a Clemson Tiger
Pick 6 VS Jevan Snead
Destroying the BearShark to setup the Pegues punt return.

I'm gonna further stipulate on mine that it has to be a game at which I was in attendence. These are top 5 but in no particular order other than chronological: (1) Keo Coleman > Tommy Luke (2) Tip, Pick & Kick (3) Anthony Johnson pick 6 (4) Tebow completion to Banks for TD (5) #1 > Boo Wallace ....Honorable mention: Heads up play by ________ against Troy on fake punt. Help me with name. He was only one who saw it in time to have any chance of making a play and did big time. That play took them out of the game early. We likely still would've won but without that it's not 62-7 nor probably anything like that. Probably more like a 45-21 type of game.

One of my all time favs was (I believe it was) Daniel Boyd sacking the Texas QB in Starkville to end the game. I think we won 13-6.

[Maroonthirteen]

Oh yeah, good one SBC. I was there that day.

One not mentioned, Anthony Derricks (???) picked off Damien Craig of Auburn on a pass near the goal line and returned it 95 yards. Big play that helped us win that day. I think it was 1997. I was there.

[Todd4State]

I think this play gets lost since it was the pass, pick, kick game- but Smoot made an incredible INT in that game. I thought he was beaten and Ole Miss was going to score a TD, and somehow Smoot picked the ball off- it looked like he jumped at least 6 feet in the air to get this thing.
