The tipped pass at the end of the 2012 SECCG.

That would have kept Bama from winning the NC and probably (95%) let UGA win it that year.

Big impact for both teams.

ETA: Not intercepted - they say your memory is the 2nd thing to go as you age, and I forgot what the first thing is. Thanks to nc14 for catching the error.

Yea, I agree with this.

Another play in that game was the 3rd and 5 Yeldon got on the play before Cooper's TD catch that ended up winning the game. He got hit at the LOS and somehow bounced around and got the 1st. We would have been punting with like 4 minutes left down.

Maybe from the Chizik era, but outside of just sucking that play was the difference in going 10-2 and going 9-3.

But trollyollyole.

We liked that play so much we decided to show you how well we could do it

Not the same play (Lutz was lined up right and came all the way across the field) but your gif is embarrassing. Epic blown coverage by AU.

Dropping Marcus Spears into coverage in the Sugar Bowl.

Again, that sucked, but definitely not most impactful.

But I'm guessing you knew that already.

They can call it whatever they want, but that call wasn't at all "impactful".


It was a 2 point game at the time, Tuscalooser. You nor I know what might have happened. Already stated it may have made no difference but it sure isn't a given that it wouldn't have. The point is that the lame-arse 'Bama officials decided they weren't going to give LSU a chance to find out if it could be "Impactful". LSU had already scored several times in the game so it certainly could have turned the "Tide".

The play where he accepts the job as Alabama head coach



Was that before or after he said he was not going to be the coach at Alabama?

One second FG return in the Iron Bowl. He strategically called time out and didn't think about a kick return. He got out coached.
