re: Most Devastating SEC plays against your team

I was at this one. Remember being very confused and not knowing what was going on but the players all ran out onto the field celebrating. That was certainly odd.

If I remember correctly I watched replay of the post game press conference that night and miles was saying he didn’t know why the QB spiked it that no one told him to. As he said that they cut to a video of him giving the signal to spike it right before.

But that season was already tainted by the loss to Wisconsin and this game and that clock management was the nail in Miles' coffin, so I don't think it qualifies as devastating.

Ironically, if he had gotten the play off in time, Miles would probably have survived and Gustav would've been canned the next day.

Like the man says, life is funny.

-05 Tennessee when Gerald Riggs Jr ran into the endzone a yard out in overtime to win the game. Monday Night Prime Time game. I believe pushed back because of a hurricane. Tiger Stadium was rocking that night.

I hope this is sarcasm.

2003 LSU Bluegrass miracle Devery Henderson catch

Tebow jump pass was really embarrassing

It got showed over and over.

Another honorable was cam newton run in 2010.

Shoe throw was really bad.

I can only see it from the other side though as hilarious

Stinkin Riley vs GA in Rose bowl playoffs. Right before half and up 17 points with all the momentum. And Stinkin decides to squib kick knowing GA has a great kicker. Sure enough they kick a FG that at end of reg was a tie game. Then in OT2 he decides to attempt to kick a FG on 4th-1 and made another gutless call. He had Baker fricking Mayfield and chooses a FG try. fricker cost us a natty we beat Bama if we move on.

Squib Kick LINK FU Stinkin

Stinkin has lost 6 games after holding 14+ point leads, that is the most in the country since he started coaching in 2017. So basically half the games he's lost (6 of 13) have occurred after giving up a 14 point lead.

frick you Stinkin!

Just to name a few for State that I witnessed in person:

2009 LSU: State has 1st and goal at the 2, down by 6, with about 1:30 left. Two run plays up the middle didn’t score. 3rd down, State calls a play action pass to the tight end that dekes everyone in the stadium except for Chad Jones, who made a great play to swat it down. (Jones also had a crazy 90 yard punt return TD earlier). On 4th down, State calls an option play and instead of pitching it to Dixon for a walk in TD, our 5’8” QB keeps it up the middle and gets stuffed. Turnover on downs. Would have been our first win against LSU in a decade, and we didn’t beat them for another 5 years.

2010 Auburn: down by 3 in the final minute, Leon Berry drops a long pass inside the Auburn 15 that would’ve at worst had State in chip shot field goal range to tie, and likely multiple chances to get the winning TD. Instead it’s an incomplete pass and State ends up turning over on downs around midfield. Cost us a win against the eventual champs.

2010 Arkansas: probably the best game I have ever seen in person. State ties it on a last second field goal to force OT. First possession, Vick Ballard makes a great effort run and dives toward the end zone. In mid air, an Arkansas player’s helmet hits the ball and it takes a crazy bounce out of the end zone for a touchback. Arkansas went on to win in double OT. Firmly believe State wins if Ballard scores or just goes down inside the 5 there.

2017 Alabama: Tie game in the final minute, Bama has a 3rd and 15 in their own territory. Todd Grantham calls an all out blitz but Bama called a timeout right before the snap. Out of the timeout, Grantham calls the same exact all out blitz. Bama detects it easily, Hurts completes a long pass to Ridley to convert, and the very next play hits a pass to Smith for the TD. This was far and away the closest State has come to beating Bama since Saban’s first year when he lost to Sylvester Croom.
