Honestly, there have been too many great players and plays to choose from, but these four were pretty awesome:

1. Tua time

2. Yeldon screen pass

3. Rocky Block

4. The final second ticking off against Texas in the BCS Championship game.

Of course you would choose those plays, you stinkin' Bama fan! There's blown calls against Bama in all 3 of those plays. Damn refs won all 3 games for ya! REC playing officials, yada, yada, yada!

Top moment for me has to be Drake's kickoff return for a TD against Clemson.

- 2017 Tua to Smitty

- 2015 Drake KO Return

- 2012 McCarron to Coop

- 2009 Anders sack fumble

- 2009 all of the SECCG

- 2009 McElroy to Upchurch

- 2008 all of the Iron Bowl

- 2007 Arkansas (first time we'd legitimately come back and won a game against a good team in what seemed like eternity)

First play from scrimmage of the Saban era: Toss sweep to Terry Grant 47 yards for the touchdown.

FIRST PLAY FROM SCRIMMAGE UNDER SABAN

Felt like BDS came off the ground.

Harbinger of what was to come.

Rocky block was great but it turns out Cody is a piece of shite so it hinders my joy.


Any of Derrick Henrys long runs in 2015.

This Blake Sims run vs the ags is also up there for me.

So many...The drake return was great because of all he overcame, the Julio screen vs LSU in 2009(highway 8 down sideline), aj to coop, the blackout, shutting out LSU in title game, coop lighting up the barn, Henry's entire 2015. Really impossible to narrow it down .

Barron's pick 6 vs south Carolina , javy's punt return vs LSU in O7 , Eddie Jackson pick 6 vs A&M in 2015 also. Trent's Pinball TD run vs Arkansas in 09 was jaw dropping as well.

Yea that win in Baton Rouge, and the entire 2008 season, was incredible.

Jordan Jefferson shuffle interception in the 2012 BCS title game. Or Trent Richardson finally breaking off a TD run in the 4th quarter of that game. Either one could symbolize that game as a whole (which LSU still hasn’t recovered from) and the 2011 Crimson Tide.

Rocky block is going to be tough to ever beat for me. Still get chills jus thinking about it - the roar in the stadium at that moment was absolutely breathtaking

It's impossible to pick a top 5. There are too many. Proof of this is we are 15 posts in and no one has mentioned the Dareus pick 6 in the first NC!

Rashad Johnson's pick 6 made me come unglued from my seat in Baton Rouge. An underrated play, but Bobby Greenwood's block right before halftime to preserve the shutout vs Auburn in '08 was perfect.

I'd also like to throw in Javier's punt return in '07, but we lost. So I'd go Tua's strike. Everytime I watch it, I get that same feeling of excitement. What a game :)

Mosley tipping the pass to win the SEC v Georgia.

Blake Sims 3rd down conversions drive against LSU.

Ingram's late run against Michigan State with Julio and McElroy blocking.

Barret Jones v A.J. in the Notre Dame championship.

Edit: Shutting down Fournette for his entire career.

I put up 21 points on Rashad Johnson. We lost 42-81 but I got mine. And I’m white AF!!!

Roll Tide.

I love Vinnies pick against A&M, still can’t believe he left early.
