Going to be hard to beat this one.

2006 MSU playing at Georgia. MSU was a 3-9 team that season and Georgia won 9 games. It was a total mismatch, but State played really well that day.

In the fourth quarter, we were driving with a chance to take the lead. We have 4th and 2 from the Georgia 42. Croom calls a timeout and elects to go for it. We gain three yards and get a 1st down.

3 plays later, we have 4th and 1 at the Georgia 30, and Croom elected to punt the ball.

State lost 27-24. But two weeks later Sly Croom beat Nick Saban in the greatest coach vs. coach upset that will ever happen in history of any sport.

Retaining Jake Spavitard for 2 seasons too long.

LSU v. OM 2008


Trying to spike the ball with 0:01 on the clock.

LSU's last drive of the 2013 peach bowl.

That's more of bad clock management than bad playcalling.

2008 Florida we were down 14 in the first quarter and we tried a kickoff lateral on the return. Florida picked it up and scored to make it 21-0.

We lost 56-6. I was there. It sucked.

Merlins 1st year - he runs the ol' QB jump pass from the 1 against LSU, with a 5' QB who couldn't get the ball over the safety's head. Same QB then keeps on a 4th down option, instead of pitching to 230lb Boobie Dixon.

But yeah, you win with Sly

Probably not the dumbest, but I still wonder about that fake punt vs Texas in the 09 BCS Championship.

"Darby Up The Middle" wasn't a bad play necessarily, it just really starts to become one when you use it for the 100th time with the same result.

The 1997 Iron Bowl.

We're up 17-15 with 51 seconds to play. It's 3rd & 10 on our own 35-yard line. We call a FB screen to Ed Scissum who promptly fumbles the football. Auburn recovers and kicks the game winning field goal.

Houston Nutt. You can't just pick one play from the Nutt era.

"By golly Jones ran that read option for 65 yards untouched and scored! We'd better make sure to not run that for the rest of the game!"

"It's 3rd and 8 from our 45... a perfect time to run a double reverse flea flicker! They'll never see that coming!"

The only reason this isn't #1 in my book is that it was a freaking awesome call except for the QB being a midget. Tight end was wide arse open. If Tyson Lee was on stilts, we win the game.

Photo simulation of Tyson Lee wearing stilts on that play:

100% agree. And it wasn't the guys fault that he was the best QB we had

This is the only possible answer for Alabama.
