The other would be the 2009 SECCG against UF. UF was the best program in the conference at the time, with Tim Tebow no less, a loaded roster, and had beat BAMA for the SEC title just one year prior, and BAMA stomped them.

I was at that game. Talk about not just a game but a single play that completely changed the trajectories of two programs - early in the game, it may have even been on UF's first possession, Percy Harvin rolled out into the flat and in my memory there was no one within 20 yards of him. If he had made the reception there he would still be running to this day, and who knows how things would have played out then? But instead he dropped the easy catch. Bullet successfully dodged, Bama went on to complete one of the great mudhole stompings of all time.

I remember the play well, and I believe it was Jeffrey Demps that dropped the ball but, either way, if he caught it he was gone.
