I will go first.

Ole Miss game. After having 6 turnovers we were down 27 -17. JFF avoided barely avoided safety on 1st down sack by sticking ball out of the endzone as his knee went down. Ags faced with 3rd and 19 from our own 3 yard line with about 7:30 left in the game.

My "turning point" play of the year - JFF hits Mike Evans for 32 yards and a first down.

If we don't get the first down, this game is over. We got rid of some big demons from last year in this game and gutted out a road victory. Huge confidence boost going forward and we carried it through the rest of the season.

I agree with OP. That play reversed a decade of bullshite. Sorry Ole Miss that y'all had to be subjected to it.

want to say the Yeldon screen


That was a huge play for Bama. That guy seemed possessed when he caught the ball and juked first tackler. Pretty incredible play.

Maybe not the same meaning but the wheel route he hit Swopes (sp) on after Yeldon fumbled is the play that changed public opinion the most if not A&M fans. Heck of a throw

So probably that drive we had against Georgia where we ran the ball on every play.
On the drive immediately following the blocked field goal, Bama gets the ball back down 11 with 6:31 to play in the 3rd. Start off with a run to the right for about 4 yards. Fluker is the only one on the right side to make his block, Steen and Jones got no push on the play and are standing around after the play with their hands on their hips. Fluker turns around and just lights into them, fired up, stomping around and yelling, trying to get everyone pumped back up. The next play the right side of the line, Jones/Steen/Fluker absolutely bulldozes the Georgia front to spring Yeldon for a 31 yard gain up the middle. Fluker was an absolute monster from there on out, leading the team to 144 yards rushing on their next 14 carries as the team outscored Georgia 22-7 in the last 20 minutes of the game. Sometimes we overrate the emotional side of football, but that was the turning point of the game for me. Saved Bama's season.

Fake punt on 4th and way-too-long with a slow punter against Georgia in our first SEC game.

Did not convert.

Either Elam stripping the ball away from OBJ or the hit on EJ Manuel.

Petrino wide right on rural hwy. Fumbled a blonde. Promptly recovered by NW ark media and exposed. Trying to go deep on JD and ended up wrecking our season.
