IIRC he fumbled two KOR's in the loss to Ole Miss. And then he has the biggest play of his career in the NCG on a...KOR. The ultimate redemption. So happy for him


One of them was A. Stewart.

my brother and i were talking about this play earlier today. i told him the endzone angle of drake coming down the sideline just gave me chills. kd was churning hard with the clemson guy having the angle, it was just a thing of beauty. so freaking happy for kd


You should try to find the ESPN Homer broadcast with Barrett Jones on that play. They were on the sideline as Drake goes streaking past and Barret starts celebrating with players/coaches/Marcel Dareus

I could hear Jerry Duncan shouting, "Run to glory!" as Drake ran that kickoff back for a touchdown.

To make Drake's moment better, check out his moment with Team Doctor Lyle Cain right after the TD.

What made it so great was how it sorta broke down into different moments of "HELL YES!"

It would have been a nice return regardless and given Alabama nice field position. But when he broke it outside and then beat the kicker then raced #15 then dove for the TD it was just magical. The whole thing was an increasing level of "yay omg omg OMG OH MY GOD!!!!!!" Damn, what a moment
