I thought this might be a provocative subject. Here are my Top 10, with a little help from “bad short game:”
1969 - “Game of the Century.” 4th & 3, Street to Peschel in Fayetteville.
1/4/06 - Vince Young Scores! “4th & 5, the National Championship is on the line right here.”
1940 - “The Impossible Catch.” Noble Doss’ long pass play early in the game to set the tone and eventually beat the undefeated and reigning national champion Aggies in Austin.
1970 - Eddie Phillips to Cotton Speyer. The miracle pass against UCLA.
1998 - “Ricky Williams runs to the Hall of Fame. Ricky Williams scores.”
1963 - Duke Carlisle intercepts Don Trull of Baylor to preserve the undefeated season in the last minutes.
1996 - “Roll left.” CCG, James Brown’s pass against heavily favored Nebraska. (Could we see a repeat on 9/10/22?)
1995 - Phil Dawson miracle 50 yard game winning FG against the wind vs. Virginia
1969, Arkansas (Game of the Century) Street runs to Nixon’s helicopter for our first score, on the first play of the 4th quarter.
2011 - Justin Tucker’s game winning FG against A&M.
Honorable Mention:
1965 - Nobis stops Namath at goal line to win the Orange Bowl.
1962 - Pat Culpepper & Johnny Treadwell stop Arkansas’ Danny Brabham (who fumbles), preserving an undefeated season…until the TCU game.
1994 - Stonie Clark’s goal line hit against OU to preserve the win.
2006 - 4th & 2 stop of Lindale White, late in the NC game.
