I may or may not be working on a new video highlighting the greatest plays that have happened in Alabama Football since 1990. Perhaps some of you on this board could give me some nominees for a hypothetical list?

And remember, this period only covers January 1, 1990 to the present day.

TJ's Screen v LSU

Rocky Block

The Onside Kick

Richardson TD on 1/9 or Ole Miss Juke

Derrick Henry stiff arm v Michigan State

D Payne's revenge pick play against Clemson

CJ Mosely batting down the pass to end the SECCG against Georgia

AJ to Coop v Georgia

2nd and 26

Personal Fav: Ingram almost TD run against Michigan State where Julio and McElroy get booming blocks.

McElroy sidestepping the out of bounds v Florida.

Dareus's int return with the spin move v Texas.

Lower tier

Drake's return for TD v Clemson

Eddie Jackson leading the way for Fitz pick 6.

Reuben's freshman hit on LF.

Blake Sims 3rd 3rd-down scramble in the 4th against LSU.

Any of OJ's catches v Clemson

Actually, though, if not for Teague's incredible play, Miami would have scored and , natually, declined the penalty.

I really hate it when it's said that play "didn't count." It most certainly counted. And I might have considered it the greatest play up until last year.

2nd and 26 was better because it ended the game, and topped an improbable comeback in the most important game of the year.

In fact I think it may be the greatest play for Alabama, ever--or at least the eras I'm more familiar with. I've been actively watching Alabama since 89, but am aware of most of the historical "great plays." When I think of all the kicks, blocks, goal line stands, etc... almost none were the final play of the game with the title on the line. Even the PSU goal line stand didn't end the game.

2nd and 26 will live forever.

While of very little significance, Prothro's behind-the-opponent's-helmet catch against USM:

I knew Sunseri had one that I couldn't think of. Good work.

I just think that the onside kick was *the play* of that game, personally.

Also, "lower tier" is in context to the greatest plays so it is more like S+ Tier and then S Tier.

If you're gonna start with 1990, then start with this.

Far greater than most mentioned, along with Harrison's block, yet most of you are obviously not old enough to remember.
