Which ones do you pick and where do you rank them?

For me:

#1: Onside kick vs Clemson
#2: AJ to Cooper TD bomb vs Georgia 2012
#3: Yeldon screen pass vs LSU 2012
#4: Mt Cody FG block vs Tenn 2009
#5: McElroy rollout TD pass to Upchurch vs Auburn 2009.

1. Screen pass to Yeldon: incredible finish to a great drive
2. Erik Anders sack/fumble of Gilbert in 09 Champ. game: Texas was making that game way too scary
3. JPW to Cadell in 07 Arkansas game: felt like the first time in forever Bama had finally drove to win a game it was losing
4. AJ to Amari in SEC Champ.: huge momentum change in an awesome game
5. Onside kick v. Clemson: great call, great execution

Marcel taking the interception to the house at the end of the half vs Texas should be on every list.

All starts with the Cody block to keep the 2009 NC hopes alive. And he blocked 2 that game if memory serves me correct.

Rashad's interception in the end zone in OT against LSU in 2009.

Blake to Cooper against Auburn in 2014.

J Harris forced fumble on the goal line against LSU in 2013.

Just a few that come to mind for at least honorable mention.

1. Onside kick against Clemson. Took major balls to call that at that point in the game.
2. McElroy to Upchurch against AU, 2009.
3. Tipped pass by CJ(?) on the last play of the 2012 SECCG.
4. AJ screen to Yeldon against L5U, 2012.
5. Griffith's 55 yard FG just before halftime against L5U, 2015. That was a huge momentum shift and essentially destroyed the Tigers' chances of making it a game from that point on and solidified us as favorites to win it all.

Strange that I picked two ST plays based on our history over the last few years. Adam's 2015 performance has helped erase a lot of demons for me.

Picked no plays from 2011...that was such a dominating team.
