I still remember watching this game live. When Brodie hit this I finally felt like there was no way Florida was gonna win this. Later events that day have been selectively erased from my memory.

Adam Griffith absolutely thundercocking a 54 yard field goal before half against #2 LSU to break the tie

We probably still win that game but it was massive

1999. Marvin Constant and Reggie Myles denying Josh Booty a TD during a designed QB run at the goal for the final play of the game. MC shredded his knee on the play and it was pretty much over for him. He was going to be a good pro.

I was in BDS that day and it was crazy.

I, too, was in BDS that day, and I just remember how royally pissed off I was that we almost lost. In fact I'm still mad that Marvin Constant had to sacrifice his football career to make sure we barely beat a shitty LSU team on our way to the SEC title.

It was nice to get some payback on Trevor Knight that game. Great play indeed.

That was the most famous play of Trent Richardson's career. Hardly under the radar.

Linnie Patrick vs Auburn for Bear's 315th. Not sure if it was/is under the radar, but it was memorable.

3 defensive plays:

Gerald Dixon returning backward pass for a TD vs Tennessee in Knoxville

Even though we loss Charlie Peprah taking the ball away from the UGA reciever for the Go Ahead TD had me hyped.

Reggie Grimes pick 6 vs Florida in SEC title game.


Also Javier Arenas Punt return vs LSU was awesome

Totally agree. Besides 2nd&26 this is one of the top legendary plays to me. This was the attitude of that WR group that one could argue was the heart and soul of that team.

That’s a bone crushing hit DB’s dream about. And to see a WR do it is extraordinary.

That Metchie play in first half won us the game. We got the ball back scored and only ended up winning by 6.
