2005 Brodie to DJ Hall to set up the go ahead field goal against Tenn

The Rally in Death Valkey is my favorite, but the pass to Cooper in the SEC Championship against Georgia is a close second. I get goosebumps when the crowd reacts.

 

[Mr. Pink]

I don't think I could pick a favorite, but I can add another nominee:

JPW to Julio in the Black Out

 

[Mr. Pink]

GMAC to Upchurch

Wasn't a long one, but the screen to Yeldon.. "He's gonna go!" was amazing. Such a relief.

Those catches Norwood made over badger made a statement. All that talk about their DB's and him in particular... Norwood got the best of him right away and set the tone. That may have been the most enjoyable game ever

 

[Mr. Pink]

Those Norwood catches leading up to the TJY screen pass, a.k.a. "Make a Man Miss" were pretty awesome too.

I hope Corndog Killa gets to abuse the badger sometime in the near future too

Here was a good one: Vince Sutton to Gene Newberry against Kentucky, 1988.

But Smith was injured in the 1988 opener. Dunn started on Oct. 1 at Kentucky, but the Tide trailed 17-0 at halftime. Early in the third quarter, Sutton heard his name called. He was ready.

Kentucky still led 20-7 going into the fourth quarter and 27-17 with 9:39 to go, but with 5:06 left in the game, Sutton threw a 7-yard touchdown pass to Greg Payne.

Then Sutton accounted for all 86 yards of a dramatic last-minute drive. Early in the drive, he ran 16 yards on fourth down.

"The middle just opened wide up, and instead of me throwing it, I took advantage and ran," Sutton recalled.

A 45-yard pass to Todd Richardson put Alabama in scoring position. Then the Tide faced fourth-and-goal at the 3-yard line. Sutton talked to offensive coordinator Homer Smith during a timeout.

"Coach Smith always said, 'You've got to do the dance. Faking the ball is like dancing. You've got to be good at it,'" Sutton said. "One of my best moves was the slide and the shuffle. So we went with the fake sweep left and bootlegged to the right.

"The fake was so great, by the tailback as well. I just rolled to the right and there was nobody there."

Nobody except tight end Gene Newberry, another fifth-year senior who had started his career as a quarterback. The touchdown beat the clock by 10 seconds. Alabama won 31-27.

I remember screaming so loudly that I almost burst my boyfriend's eardrums.

I cant find the video and this would go in the "run" post, but the third down run by Yeldon prior to that play.....he doesnt get that first down we might not have won that game.

That whole drive was nuts. I was in the depths of despair before it.

What makes this (one of my) my favorite(s) was that Saban had just jumped in Julio's ass for a mistake he made. So Julio got pissed and showed out.

 

[Elderfalsedemigod]

All great ones listed

TJY housing the screen pass cost me my voice. After he scored I realized I was suddenly in my front yard screaming "he scored". My wife still talks about it

Another favorite was Julio taking the screen pass to the house in '09 against the whos in BDS. He was running directly at our seats in the end zone. I started watching him with my binoculars and they quickly became unnecessary. He was motoring.

Thank you for yours.

Freddie Kitchens to Dennis Riddle 96 Iron Bowl.

The Nutt was so excited ...

And then, with 8 seconds left...

JPW to Caddell.

One of my personal favorites. Aside from it being one of CNS' first big wins in BDS, it was my first weekend home on mid-tour leave from Iraq that year and the first CNS coached Bama game I saw.

Definitely up there for me. Was the single loudest moment I can recall inside BDS. Found myself hugging complete strangers and some relative strangers(people from my section).
