Amazing play, but it was against Southern Miss and meant absolutely nothing.


It led to a TD in a game where Alabama was down by 11 prior to that.

That said, how does that have anything to do with how amazing the play is? If I were to scale the Green Monster and catch a possible HR, does it matter if my team has already wrapped up the division title and we're already up by 9? No, it would be the most epic catch you've ever seen.

All those other plays were game winners, and/or big time games against major opponents, or at least featured a great player.

If somebody made an amazing catch on the Green Monster in a spring exhibition nobody would care in a week once the play was off SC's top 10.

Great plays in great moments are always considered bigger. Its harder to make those big plays in pressure situations with all eyes on you. Players make amazing plays in practice goofing off all the time. Nobody outside of Alabama and Hattiesburg saw the Prothro catch live.
