Your single favorite play in MSU football history

[Mjoelner34]

The game against BYU. Where Miller (I think) broke what seemed like 20 tackles to get a TD. I remember them showing a BYU fan in the stands with his jaw around his stomach and this complete look of disbelief at what just happened.

Mine too. Turns out that my favorite play was also made by my all time favorite player.

[msstate7]

It was 4th & 15. I was there and remember it vividly. Madkin had completed a 4th & 12 to Kelvin Love earlier in the drive to move the chains, too. Beating UPig essentially without JJ that day was about as clutch as it gets.

Those were awesome

[msstate7]

Nickoe recovering Bo's fumble has to be up there.

[fader2103]

It's a tie.

1999 interception.
And Dak shoving the LSU guy in the dirt to run in the TD

[MSUDawg4Life]

Kick-Pick is easily my favorite of so many good plays.

[gravedigger]

Tip kick pick

certainly was great but if you werent at the 6-3 game you cant possibly know

[BulldogBear]

This is tough so I'm gonna limit it to games I attended. No particular order:

1) Damien Williams'a OT 25 yard TD run @ Arkansas in 2013

2) Dak's TD run out of the pocket early in the 2013 LSU GAME in Starkville

3) Intercepting Auburn's first play from scrimmage last season

4) 2009 Anthony Dixon run against Houston where Tyson pushes him into end zone

5) 2009 Bumphis tipped catch for TD against Georgia Tech

6) Stuffing LSU on 4th and goal last season

7) 1999 interception against Bears

8) 2009 Teebow pick6 right before half to close score to 13-10. Special because my 12 year old called it before the ball was snapped.

9) Punt return by Pegues in 2007 Egg Bowl

10) Leveling the LSU return man in the opening kickoff of 1986 game in Jackson

Not much of a short list. If you put a gun to my head... probably the Dixon TD vs. Houston

Ugh. (11) I forgot the Malcolm Johnson one handed catch 4th qtr of Tennessee game in 2012.

I still think the Dixon run is my favorite

I'd have sworn we completed two fourth downs on that drive. Regardless, I'll never forget being at the game, Cooper's catch, and Hazelwood's kick.

Yep, everything about that last drive against ARK in 1998 is still my favorite. I'm thought we converted 2 fourth downs as well, but maybe it was just a long 3rd down and a long 4th down. The Hazelwood FG I guess would be my favorite play since that gave us the lead but that drive and kick is THE most clutch thing I have ever seen an MSU football team accomplish in my 35 years of watching it. There was so much on the line and we came through, it was so un-MSU like at least in football. Even Mullen has never had a team come through truly in the clutch like that MSU team did on that day with essentially the SEC West hanging in the balance. Had we beat Bama last year it would have topped it, but alas we failed.

For a basketball play

[Bullsy]

20 seconds left with Ole Miss trying to win the game instead of taking a knee for OT @ 20-20. And we win the game. WOW. This was the best! Here it is if you guys care to reminisce.

How bout the Dawg Pound Rock after we kick the FG? BEST EVER

[LC Dawg]

The pick six against Bama has always been a favorite but I have to vote the Wallacing play. Just the fact that it was Ole Miss is great but it was the type of play that doesn't happen very often. In a split second we went from being tied up to winning the game and going to a bowl. We definitely didn't need to extend OT where we may need a kick. Also, if we don't win that Egg Bowl at home and we sit at home for bowl season instead of crushing Rice I don't think we go into Baton Rouge last year with quite as much confidence as we did.

[Liverpooldawg]

The fumble recovery at the goal line to win the game in the 1980 Bama game.

[Coach34]

1. Punt return vs Tennessee- I thought I was about to see us win an SEC title

2. Tip, kick, and pick- that was unreal

3. Dakota's run vs LSU- thanks to Scooba, I have a pic of that framed in my living room

4. Fumble recovery vs Bama- this has slid as years have passed, but was still greatness

[Prediction? Pain.]

This Moulds catch on 4th and 15 in the '94 Tennessee game:

The winning TD catch was awesome, but that 4th down catch is seared in my brain.

1.) Pegues' Egg Bowl punt return

2.) Sunshine's fumble in OT

3.) Dak's long run vs. LSU

I have to admit... when it comes to a play that was so critical to both the game and the outcome of the season it may be hard to find a bigger play anywhere that was too our benefit at least. Our whole program seems better today because of that play.

Mine went from the Billy Jackson Fumble Recovery 1980, to the Kevin Prentiss Punt Return 1998 to take the lead in the SEC Championship game late in the 2nd half, to the latest which is the DeRunnya Wilson 1st qtr touchdown last season versus Auburn which I think propelled us to...

Five weeks straight ranked number one in the nation

1980 fumble recovery. Probably because it was the first huge play I witnessed that ended in victory.
