2004 Arkansas Texas. Texas won the toss and opted to kick the ball.

Arkansas of course opted to receive with the second option.

Still lost though.

2010 Iron Bowl. Mark Ingram fumbles the ball and it’s rolls forever down the sideline and through the endzone for a touchback. Crucial piece of the Camback.

Xavier Carter caught a kickoff in the endzone, started to bring it out, panicked, then kneeled. Unfortunately he had already left the endzone so LSU started on their own 1



UGA would go on to beat a Saban/Fisher/Muschamp led team 45-16. One of the worst defeats of Saban's career on a day David Greene could practically do no wrong.

I think the state of Arkansas' basketball and football programs has made the fans lose their minds.

I would imagine most fans old enough to have watched it remember that Ryan Pflugner missed an extra point in overtime in the 2000 Orange Bowl which caused Alabama to lose to Michigan. Many may not remember that Alabama blocked a Michigan field goal attempt on the last play in regulation to send the game to OT in the first place.

In a similar vein, everyone remembers Tua's 2nd-and-26 TD pass to beat UGA in OT in the NCG for the 2017 season. Everyone may not remember that Bama missed a FG as time expired that would have won the game in regulation.

2004 A&M vs Texas, the 1 point safety. One of the few instances its ever happened in a college football game.

Longhorns score a touchdown, A&M manages to block the extra point. As the player scoops up the ball hoping to take it 98 yards to the house for 2 A&M points, he fumbles the ball back into the endzone where another A&M player just falls on it. It’s ruled a 1 point safety for the longhorns.

Technically it was punched out by Carter, thus the lengthy forward progression of the roll.

In the third quarter of the NFC Championship on Sunday, down 17 and facing third down, Jauan Jennings made an unbelievable one-handed catch for a first down, setting up an eventual FG several plays later.



But everyone mostly remembers their next offensive play, a 51-yard bomb.



Without that first down grab and the series of events that followed, the comeback may have never happened, and the 49ers could be sitting at home for the Super Bowl.

I had to rooting interest in the game but the 5th down game haunts me to this day. If I was a coach I don’t know what I would’ve done but I think I would physically stop the play from happening somehow

Kick Six game, McCarron threw a 99 yd TD pass

Also, back to back 4th down stops by both defenses. Some really good plays forgotten due to the ending.

In the 1985 Iron Bowl, everyone remembers the Van Tiffin kick.

Most don't remember the unbelievable plays by Mike Shula and others on that drive just to move the ball into position.

His block on Al Bell's fourth-down reverse.

Gene Jelks catch on third and long.

Greg Richardson stretching to get out of bounds with six seconds left.
