Been watching Alabama football for 19 years and that is probably my 2nd favorite play in all that time. Only behind Yeldon's TD to beat LSU in 12.
So glad he got to score in his last game.

Hard to name a play I'd take over it.

been a tough road for KD, and he deserved to go out with a bang.

So many huge plays in this game. How many times were we screaming at the TV? GO! GO! GO! I am hoarse as hell. A nice problem to have right now

They ran a screen to Ridley early in the game inside the 10 and picked up a first then went hurry up with Drake still in the game. He got the carry but couldn't get in and you could tell he was frustrated. I felt so bad for him but could not feel happier at this moment! Amazing game last night with so many guys that stepped up!

It reminded me of the Upchurch TD versus AU in 2009.

The dogpile and emotion from the players made it a little dusty in my room

Twenty years from now that will be remembered as THE iconic play from last night's game. So proud of that guy after all he's been through. Even two months ago it looked like his season was over at Mississippi State. Major kudos to him. He's going to have a chance in the NFL because of his versatility. Will make a good change of pace back and special teams player.

IIRC he fumbled two KOR's in the loss to Ole Miss. And then he has the biggest play of his career in the NCG on a...KOR. The ultimate redemption. So happy for him

To make Drake's moment better, check out his moment with Team Doctor Lyle Cain right after the TD. They hugged for about 20 seconds.

Dr. Cain probably saw Drake at one of his lowest moments and there they were last night just after the top moment of Drake's career.

Crazy how many times he got close to the end zone this year and didn't get it. So glad he could get a TD and at a crucial moment.

No doubt. Can't remember how many times he'd get us in range and Henry would come in and seal the deal.

So happy for him. He delivered when we needed him the most.

my brother and i were talking about this play earlier today. i told him the endzone angle of drake coming down the sideline just gave me chills. kd was churning hard with the clemson guy having the angle, it was just a thing of beauty. so freaking happy for kd
