🏈 Take ONE Play Out of Alabama's Football Historic Past

[alabama mike]

There are many but you only get one choice.

For us older guys..... 1973 Sugar Bowl. Tom Clements to Robin Weber. 3rd down and half a mile and they complete the pass to the sideline.

 

[alabamajack]

I get a bad taste in my mouth saying this, but the kick 6. Now every freaking time the iron bowl is played, it has to be reshown constantly

 

[UAgrad93]

So many to choose from! As far as a play that stands out to me FOR us, the GOALLINE STAND!! I was 9 and that sold me on UA.
As far as an iconic play against us, Kick 6. A chance at a 3-peat gone on 1 play.

I'd pick a devastating injury play, like Prothro or Tua or the many others. I was going to say Kent Waldrep's TCU sweep, but he has an incredible perspective on his injury:

Kent marvels at how his life has changed since that October afternoon.

“I have to think God’s hand is in there somewhere,” he said. “There’s just been too many good things, too many positives that have come out of my breaking my neck. I mean, that’s happened to other college football players too. But I’ve had opportunities to meet people and work with people to make so many good things happen.

“If I’d never been hurt and become a banker or whatever I’d have become, it would be hard to believe my life could have had the impact it’s had because of this injury.”

His whole family remains grateful.

“We feel we’ll never be able to do anything to fully say `thank you’ to the people in Alabama who’ve taken us in and treated us like family,” Waldrep said.

Bryant still reaching out to paralyzed TCU player

BIRMINGHAM - From the first day Kent Waldrep met the legend until just before the legend died, the phone calls kept coming.

The Yeldon screen pass at LSU was one that won us a Championship. On the other hand, Tua to Smith in Overtime for a walk off DID win us a Natty, when we were down and almost out. Yeldon is my favorite player of the Saban era, but the 2nd and 26 was heart stopping, so it wins my vote

Okay, maybe I'm confused. You want us to take a BAD play out of Bama history, correct?

Or maybe just correct calls by refs. TE catch in the back of end zone against Penn State - was it Preston Gothard? Namath sneak for TD against Texas.

2 excellent ones....
The topic put my mnd to spinning of so muchgreat great football...even with losses...
McElroys fumble at 1 vs AU 2010
Same game..ball rolling 10-15 yards on sideline on Ingrams fumble 2010

 

[rick4bama]

I have two one has been talk about. that the '73 Sugar Bowl. The other one is another one of those team CPB just could win against. This one is the '72 Cotton Bowl. That Texas QB step out of bound!

 

[PurlJam]

One play...huh...Making Mike Dubose the HC.
On the field, Don Jacob's fumble at the 3 against Miss. St. 1980...ending a 28 game win streak and 2 time defending NC....first win over us in 23 years for State.

You would be correct sir. Todays replay would have overturned the call.

 

[bamafan4ever]

David Palmer for the tie against UT! Sticks in their crawl even now so good enough for me!

(Some really good plays mentioned above as well that I would have mentioned)

 

[mando]

The Ingram fumble that defied physics and rolled for 20 yards out of he end zone against the Barn. In the same game I believe Richardson dropped a pass that would have been a touchdown and then the touchdown pass from fig criminal newton that Mark Baron was defending but could not even raise his arm.

So how about lets just erase that entire 2nd half .

True....but a play vs miss State in 92...
Officials called it incomplete pass.....replay showed Barker fumbled....
If msu ball...game over..state wins...no NC

And McElroys fumble at 1...
And the sky turning brilliant Orange and Blue to start second half...scary...

YES!!!! A bad play.

 

[bama alum]

As a kid and until I went to college, all I ever heard about was "Punt, Bama! Punt!" and then "Bo over the top!" But NOTHING has been as WORN! THE! ***K! OUT! as that damn kick six BS! Take that fluke play away!

EXACTLY. When that happened I said that is the only way they know how to beat is this flukey crap.

I can't even believe this is up for debate.
