re: Top 25 Plays in Aggie Football History

Jackie Sherril's third year. Had gone 5-6 and 5-5-1 the first two. Would go 6-5 this time. Went to Austin at 5-5 and the underdog. Beat them 37-12. At some point in the game (I'm thinking 3rd Quarter) we still had them scoreless. The game was over. They lined up to kick a field goal to get of the schneid and salvage some pride. Domingo Bryant blocked the kick right into the arms of Scott Polk. He trucked downfield 80 yards and got caught at the 5. It sucked that we ended up getting only 3 out of it.

It was a better play then than it would be today because in those days in college football you couldn't advance a fumble. That the ball went from the kicker's foot to Domingo's hands to Scott's chest was practically a miracle. It felt like all those decades of tu's always getting the miracles had finally ended. It marked a turning point in Aggie football. Things were pretty good for a while after that.

I think some Aggie even wrote a poem about it.
