I feel like most of the time when my teams lose, I just don’t remember the great plays made as some sort of personal defense mechanism, but I was thinking back yesterday on the 2012 SEC Championship game and how awesome the blocked field goal that Alec Ogletree took back for a touchdown was.



What are some great plays your teams made in games they lost?

"The safety that wasn't" ... against Texas last year

And the other four blown calls in the same game

Jacob Eason hitting Riley Ridley against UT with what, 10 seconds left, should have been an all-time moment.



Then we got a pretty legendary moment with the Hail Mary right after.

My dad and I were watching that game. It was the prettiest pass I think I've ever seen in college football. Then Tennessee came back and got it. Amazing ending.

This was actually much harder than I thought it would be. I only seem to associate great plays with wins

The best I can come up with is this one-handed catch by Alshon Jeffrey against Arkansas in 2010. I remember how cold this game was and Arkansas beat the crap out of us that night.

Same here. Like I said, there’s this mental block I seem to put on losses that keeps me from really remembering great plays the way I do in wins.

Another one I just thought of was Damian Swann ripping the ball out of a running back’s hands right at the goal line and running it back 99 yards against Georgia Tech in 2014.

Every time I watch it I still can’t believe he did it.

The 100 yard pick6 against Notre Dame to tie the game. Didn’t really matter because we couldn’t stop the run

Pretty much all of Dameyune Craig's efforts in the '97 SECCG.

2003 vs LSU in BR. David Greene hits Tyson Browning for 93 yard screen to tie the game with 4 minutes left. Stadium went quiet.

Couple of minutes later it wasn't quiet.

As an aside, the loudest series I remember on the road was when David Greene got banged up and DJ Shockley came in for a 3 and out series earlier in that game.

5 Home runs in a row vs UGA in the supers in 06. We won that particular game, but lost the series to UGA. Made it a bit hard to brag about it.

exact same thing happened in knoxville in 2015, I think it was leonard floyd. Some others off my head:

-tyson browning 93 yard screen pass @lsu in 2003
-danny ware trucking a UT defender and knocking his helmet off en route to the endzone in 2004 with a couple minutes left
-aaron murray's entire heroic 4th quarter @auburn in 2013
-Aj Green's unbelievable 1 handed TD against colorado in 2010
-JT3's great catch from thomas brown against UF in 2005

Dat Nguyen to Brandon Jennings

I go a little farther back . . . 1989 Cotton Bowl against #5 UCLA.

Dat Nguyen picks off Cade McKnown, takes it back 20 yards, and then laterals to Brandon Jennings for the score.

He was an amazing player.

Also for the double whammy of plays that 1)were in a loss, and 2)didn't even count: david pollack's handoff aginast UF in 2002. UF was near our endzone abotu to score, pollack intercepts the pass and makes it about 20 yards before handing off to sean jones who took it the rest of the way. 90+ yard touchdown which would have ocmpletely and totally chagned the game without quesiton. Refs called it back though and called it a forward lateral which was complete bullshite.
