30 seconds in college football history ...

Everyone has their most memorable 30 seconds in college football history, right?
What is yours?
Mine would have to be:
2013 Outback Bowl, South Carolina of the SEC versus Michigan of the B1G.
With Michigan leading 22-21 and 8:31 remaining in the game, South Carolina stops them and forces them to punt.
Michigan goes for the fake punt and is down at 8:22 remaining. Confusion ensues when the ref declares the first down for Michigan when clearly they were short.
8:22 remaining and Michigan tries to go off tackle, with Vincent Smith, right at Jadeveon Clowney who had almost been knocked out of the game earlier when Smith had speared Clowney in the nuts.
8:21 mark and Clowney almost decapitates Smith, causing a fumble.
On the first play from scrimmage immediately following the hit and fumble recovery by Clowney, Ace Sanders makes an incredible catch in the back of the endzone somehow getting both feet down and holding onto the ball for the score.
20 seconds off the clock ...
Now, I know of some other favorite moments in SEC lore that took less than 30 seconds and decided the ballgame.
Billy Cannon's punt return.
Herschel's run.
There are more?

Why are you talking about that play like there's been decades pass since it happened?

Because they'll still be talking about it decades from now, just like the other two I mentioned.
Why are you such a fricktard?

I wondered if a Gator fan was going to mention that. That was, without a doubt, the biggest play of the season. That was Ryan Succop kicking that ball and he was butter, money in the bank. If he makes that kick there is no MNC that year for the Gators.
Yeah, that one was huge. Don't get me started on why Jarvis Moss was playing in that game. I'm glad UF won the MNC though. I truly am.

Could you quit calling it this? It hasn't been a MNC since 1998.

Buck Belue to Lindsay Scott. Single handedly took UGA from tragic disappointment to a favorite for the 1980 national title game as a putrid Tech team tied Notre Dame that same afternoon.
But while I have been alive?
David Greene lining the guys up against UTk in 2001 and doing the impossible, throwing a wide open TD to Veron Haynes in the middle of the endzone, catapulting UGA back into a decade of national relevance

After reading the thread title I was hoping this would be a Petrino/Arky troll thread

I will always remember John Vaughn's FG bouncing off the goal post in 2005 against LSU. I was there and you could hear a pin drop in the stadium when the ball was in the air.

Bluegrass miracle or the last seconds of the 1997 Nebraska Missouri game where the flea flicker pass bounced off a foot for a touchdown

One thing I have learned about the rant, is most peoples knowledge of SEC football on here doesn't go back very far. Any time we have a best ever thread, 90% of the posts are from shite that has happened in the last 3-4 years.

For most, that's all they have.

I appreciate your effort, but I'm waiting for someone to post a premature ejaculation joke in regards to your title somewhere in this thread.

George Teague making Lamar Thomas his bitch in the '93 Sugar Bowl. That is the first game I can remember from start to finish, and that play stood out more than most in my 5 year old mind.

Oh the irony when someone claims that to be the case when communicating with me, of all SECr members.
