Flutie's Hail Mary was pretty improbable.

Can't remember what year it was. It may have been '95 or '96. Arkansas beat Alabama in Bryant-Denny. The winning drive Arkansas had 12 players on the field for a couple of big plays. Totally slid by the refs. Unfortunately I was in the stadium. You don't see that shite too often.

Then there was this gem from a few years ago with Oklahoma vs. Oregon.

Kevin Butler had a few at UGA. His 60 yard bomb to upset #2 Clemson in 1984 was incredible. The most amazing kick was a miss though. Citrus Bowl in a tie game vs FSU, last play of the game.

1982 Cal Stanford game final play kickoff return.

1982 SMU-TTU- TTU takes lead with 6 seconds left. SMU catches the kickoff, fumbles it around and throw a lateral across the field who goes 80 yds for a TD.

1998 UA LSU- 2 deflected passes to Bama receivers and both score to win a game LSU had all but walked away with.

"Fifth Down" when Colorado got an extra play to beat Missouri with a late touchdown and go on to split the national championship with Ga Tech.

Already mentioned was the Nebraska-Missouri touchdown pass (off his foot?).

Also, under close-but-not-quite, the laterals and runs-around with coaches and players coming onto the field that Michigan almost pulled off before losing to Nebraska at the 2005 Alamo Bowl.

Anyone mention the 4th down pass with a few min left in UGA vs AU? Not only was that crazy but the fact that they ended up fumbling, recovering their own fumble, and then got to run the clock out because they fumbled. That one play was an absolute disaster for Georgia after the first 3 downs made it seem like Shockley was gonna finish undefeated against sec teams as a starter. Bastards.

Alex Serna missing an extra point in overtime to let LSU escape with a one point win over Oregon State.

That in itself wouldn't be that improbable, but that it was the THIRD missed extra point in the game by a Groza award winning kicker was incredible.



There's something about Tiger Stadium and opposing kickers...

Bama's blocked FG against PSU (was basically an extra point) to win the game after DJ Dozier had taken it about 90 yards on the final drive in the mid 80's.

The Ed Scissim (however it is spelled) fumble at JH in 2007 to lose the game bama almost had wrapped up.

1992 AU vs UGA where the refs did not spot the ball after it was kicked out of a pile on the 1 inch line and let 15 seconds run off the clock with Ray Goff halfway out on the field telling his players to keep laying down while the clock ran out.

That 05 Auburn-UGA game was one of the craziest games I've ever seen.
