It can be for any reason. Maybe it won a huge game, maybe it is incredibly iconic, whatever the case may be. For Alabama I would usually go with George Teague's strip from behind on Miami's Lamar Thomas, but I think I'm gonna go with Tua's pass in OT to beat Georgia and win the title. Fire away.....

Ken Hatfield's punt return for a TD against Texas in 64. It was the play that won them the national title.

Goal line stand vs. Penn State comes to mind.

I think Tua's pass to beat UGA takes the cake. Literally won the national championship. I can't think of many others that come close. George Teague's strip of Lamar Thomas definitely belongs towards the top as well.

Have to go with Billy Cannon’s punt return against Ole Miss, Halloween, 1959. One of the iconic moments in LSU football history, and college football generally.

TM7’s punt return vs UGA in the SECCG, Marcus Spears Pick six in 2003 BCSCG, Ali Highsmith’s srip sack of tOSU QB in 2008 BCSCG

Teague’s strip for me, I was in 5th grade and at the game sitting where he made the strip but across the field. Probably bigger plays, but that’s the best memory for me

That time Clowney ate that Michigan guy's soul or that time the LSU ref shoulder checked Garcia.

AJ’s screen vs LSU was pretty big.

Too many to list

The 44-16 loss is what Alabama Football needed. The dynasty will last for another decade.

Teagues strip is #1 for me. First football game I can remember watching from start to finish. Tuas was great and did win the NC, but Teague taking that ball away basically killed any shred of momentum Miami could have gotten and embarrassed them and Thomas so bad that he sat on the sideline with a towel over his head.

Run Lindsay, run. That's easily #1 and there isn't a close second.

Brian Gamble’s fumble recovery in the 1999 game against Texas. The play wasn’t any sort of spectacular athletic feat, but it did seal the victory in the rivalry game following the Bonfire collapse. It was a MUCH needed win at the time.

There was this one wicked awesome time we were on defense and bama got called for a hold (finally).

Simply one of the greatest moments in all of history really. Right up there with D-day and the invention of the polio vaccine

Down 20–6 during 99 eggbowl, Mississippi State rallied late in the 4th quarter to tie the game. With 20 seconds left, instead of kneeling the ball to go to overtime, OM decided to run a play, deep in their own territory. Rebel quarterback Romero Miller dropped back and lobbed a deep pass which was deflected by the hands and then the foot of Mississippi State cornerback Robert Bean before being intercepted by Eugene Clinton and returned deep into Rebel territory. On the next play, with 8 seconds left, Bulldog kicker Scott Westerfield kicked a 44-yard game-winning field goal.

It’s hard to pick one. LSU has had quite a few impactful players over the decades. The classics are the likes of YA Tittle, Billy Cannon, Tommy Casanova. Then there are guys like Dalton Hilliard and Kevin Faulk. More recently Josh Reed, Patrick Peterson and Glen Dorsey. It’s hard to pick one.

ETA: Mis-read the title. Thought it said player.

My answer has to be the Earth Quake game. Hodson to Fuller is absolutely legendary. Also, the ‘58 punt return against Ole Miss is a classic. Have to toss up 2007 Flynn to Byrd v. Auburn. The fumble recovery against Bama in ‘07 was pretty big to end that game. Or Chad Jones slobber knocker of a hit against Arky on ‘09. Trindon Holliday’s KO return for 92 yards at Memorial Stadium in ‘06. LaRon Landry’s smack on John Parker Wilson on ‘06. There are a ton of plays that stand out. The 2005 srason was one of the greatest season in LSU history as far as I’m concerned. That season was full of absolutely ridiculous plays.
