There were plenty, but if I had to single out just one: It was when I-don't-know-who dropped Trent Richardson behind the line of scrimmage twice consecutively setting up a 3rd and 20 (I think) in the 2nd half. Can someone back me up with the specifics? I'm pretty sure it was Richardson. Technically that was two plays, but whatever.
No doubt, Eric Reid's interception at the one yard line which saved the game. If they make that catch, it would have been tough to come back from. A close second was Wing's 73 yard punt which took the wind out of their sails.
I have to go with Reid's pick on the goal line. That was probably a game saving play. Reid was lights out in this one!
Reids play was HUGE at the time.....but my favorite was the mo claiborne interception.....a thing of beauty......snatched it at it's highest point.....two inches higher and that plays goes a long way for bama.
I don't have an issue with any of the plays mentioned. The back to back stops of the almighty Richardson was a thing of beauty. Brandon Taylor has been playing at an extremely high level all year long and he made the best tackle of Richardon probably all year long for a 5 yard loss in the backfield. Talk about preparation for a game and instinct. He knew the play before it was happening. Then Richardson gets tackled again by one of the D-lineman (maybe Brockers or Logan) for no gain or a short loss. Based on importance I would say 1. Reid interception (prevented a likely 7 points late in the game) 2. Claiborne interception (Bama up 3-0 and moving near midfield) 3. Wing 73 yard punt (flipped field position late in the game) 4. Jefferson to Clement pass completion from our 5 yard line for a first down (late late in the game) 5. Option run to Ford to get us within chip shot range of the game winning kick
I guess my priority was on the play that made me feel just like, "Holy **** that was awesome." The most important play, Reid's interception, provoked more of a "Holy **** thank GOD" moment.
yes I would agree the Brandon Taylor tackle was the most awesome moment because Richardson NEVER goes down on the first hit, we all know that
All of the plays mentioned above were awesome, no doubt. For me the ultimate was the winning field goal and the madness that followed, then I knew it was real!
