Still amazing and Teague had no angle and started 5 yards behind him when he caught the ball. Roll Tide!!!!!

He was also lined up wrong from the start. We had a chance to work with Teague here with Roll Tide Bama once on his fund drive for the George Teague Foundation. What a awesome guy he was.

I had a ticket in that end zone, loge level when it all happened. I was in the second row and damn near knocked my buddy over the edge!!!

"Teague's got the ball!"

One of the greatest “non” plays in the history of all sports period. Brings to mind the Babe Parilli/Coach Bryant incident at U Kentucky. With the less than TD lead, and time running out, Parilli decides to pass instead of the called run from the sideline. He’s intercepted and the defender is headed for the end zone for a sure victory. Parelli runs him down and UK’s victory is saved. When asked how he ran down a faster player with no angle, he replied, “he was just running for a TD, I was running for my life”.

A great play in Bama football history.

We were in the nosebleeds. Didn't matter. Just a few minutes after this play and Teague's pick six, the Superdome was nearly void of those loud, obnoxious Cane fans.

I was at this game one of the greatest wins I ever saw in person. G. Teague was a badass!

@Brandon Van de Graaff when I read the title! That was the play I thought of!!

A great play in Bama football history.

IMO, was the greatest until "2nd and 26".

 

[64Tide]

"Teague was a badass", you bet he was. I believe he made about every tackle on kick off as well.

I'm still pissed about the '89 Bama-Miami Sugar Bowl. We could have won that night. The 1992 game certainly helped, but personally, I wasn't done with them. I have wanted to play them again since the 1992 national championship. Had to wait 3 decades, but it's here now!! I want this to be a bludgeoning!!

“The old deal is ‘how’d you catch him?’ The answer would be ‘he was just running for a touchdown, I was running for my life.’”

I've never seen a free safety that big, run that fast. I couldn't believe it.
