[doemasters]

Lets see your top 3

Down 21-20 against arch-rival Auburn in the 2009 Iron Bowl, QB Greg McElroy throws a strike into the endzone to HB Roy Upchurch, and wins the game for Alabama 26-21.



10/24/09 Terrence Cody blocks UT's final FG with :04 seconds left to win the game



In OT, On 2nd and 26, true freshman QB Tua Tagovailoa launches a National Championship 41 yard touchdown pass to Devonta Smith!!

I like the surprise onside kick against Clemson and his sly smile when it worked.

Top 3?!? Dude! That's too tough! There are so many from which to choose! #RollTide Well, the kick v. Clemson and Mt. Cody's block have been used so...How about these three?

Still laugh at this one!


C-L-U-T-C-H!!!


Bye, Jawja!

1. The AJ to Coop at the Georgia Dome.... Was at that game with a friend and felt like we had run a marathon by the time Mosley tipped that last pass.

2. Tua to Smith. Walk off championship.

3. TJ Yelyon screen... Will always remember Eli Gold "He's gonna go!". That game was intense...

At that moment you knew Bama was going to really skull drag Auburn that day.

Most of mine have already been posted but I'll add a couple...


^^ The minute Gary said "Julio is matched up to a safety" my dad laughs and goes, "shit's about to get real."




^^ That was a STATEMENT and it also came after like 4 months of certain people in the fan base screaming about how Blake had a "noodle arm" and couldn't throw deep.


^^ Still one of the most impressive runs I've seen a QB make.




Just plain rag dolled him.

That juke happened right in front of me, in about the best seats I have ever had in any stadium. About the 20 yard line and about 20 rows up from the field itself.

Absolutely..
1....tua pass...my opinion....greatest play in Bama history.... it was for a NC..others may have helped but this the final play to win one....
2....mt Cody block vs Tn 2009... it was dramatic....
3.....the onside kick...vs Clemson..
4.....Drakes KO return vs Clemson......
5.....and...last.....Areanes int of Tebow in 2009 in end zone insec championship game..sent tebow away with tears in eyes
...and each one others listed ....
So many others..(could list half dozen vs lsu)

@doemasters Ought to add a poll to this. Im I'm mobile.

first one for me is the first play from scrimmage, in the first game, 2007, of Coach Saban's career at 'BAMA.



second would have to be the iron bowl (whole game, not just one play), the following year, 2008. that 36-0 beat down was a thing of beauty.



third would have to be Cody's block in 2009. the sound coming out of the stadium...that was absolutely unbelievable. i was on the quad, and i'd never heard the stadium that loud. we were back by the library, and we heard the stadium roar when he blocked it. i honestly could not believe it was THAT loud.

The day the Tide turned is how I'll remember this game.

"He set a tone of aggression."

 

[Bamabww]

What a great thread.

 

[doemasters]

One that is overlooked from this year

 

[planomateo]

So many...

 

[rolltide66]

in the early days, Bama faked FGs often... not so much lately if at all...

 

[50+yeartidefan]

Soooo many......and so many more could be added

Nobody with Drakes return vs Clemson, was huge momentum steal.
