Most iconic moments wearing our red jerseys?

I was thinking earlier about some of the greatest plays in our history
-Ringo pick 6
-Belue to scott
-Hobnail boot
-Greene to Johnson
And wouldn't ya know it, we're wearing white in every one of em. So I got to thinking about best moments in red and honestly they don't stack up at all. Sure we've won plenty of huge GAMES in red, a couple national titles for instance. But individual plays? I guess you've got corey allen against tech in '97, malcolm mitchell's long run against florida in '12, boss bailey blocking tennessee FG in '02 that come to mind, but those certainly don't carry the same gravitas as the ones above. Off my head I guess the biggest individual moment I can think of would be AD Mitchell's go ahead TD against ohio state. That one pretty much meets the criteria of noteworthy but it's weird because I don't think that play has gone down in our lore like the others have for a couple reasons. One, the player voluntarily quit after the next game, and two when people think of that game the first thing they think of is a miscue by OSU to end the game rather than our play.
Anyways...what are some of the "most iconic" moments in our history wearing red? Maybe we can add one next weekend.

Pretty much any big play that’s happened at home or in certain bowl games….there’s a shite ton.
In honor of last weeks win, I’ll go with Thorson’s coffin corner against Tennessee when they came in ranked #1 thinking they were hot shite. That punt was absolutely sick, rolling out at the 1

Scott Woerner had several 100 yard kickoff returns (some from the back of the end zone) - those certainly turned a few games around, did any actually win a game?
also - 1984, Kevin Butler with a 60 yard field goal to upset #2 Clemson as time expired - longest field goal in Division 1 NCAA history at the time IIRC

This is an interesting topic. Never thought about it.
Unless you go back to the Charlie Trippi days or the Happy Dicks days, it might be the blocked punt in the SECCG against Arkansas.
For Dawg fans who grew up in the '90s and can't remember Herschel but can remember Florida and Tennessee playing in the SECCG every god damn year, making it to the SECCG was a huge monkey off our backs and winning it was glorious.

Interesting and very specific criteria.
As a point of contention, the midnight miracle against OSU absolutely is an iconic UGA football moment. I get that it was a miscue by the opposing team, but to not call it a UGA iconic moment is disingenuous in my opinion.
Kevin Butler’s 60-yard field goal against Clemson
Malcolm Mitchell’s catch and run against Florida in 2012
Appleby-to-Washington
I’ll throw an honorable mention to Chris Smith’s blocked field goal return against LSU in the 2022 SECCG

Nah but he was a heck of a punt returner and DB
Turned around the '80 Clemson game with interception and return
