2003 vs Miami on the last play before the half Randy Sanders makes the greatest play call of his life and runs an inside handoff to Derrick Tinsley from the slot for a TD and the lead.

The 4th down pass to Shawn Bryson in the fourth quarter against Florida State was a better call, in an infinitely more important game. If Gary Coleman doesn't fumble on the ensuing play, people would remember that play as the one that sealed the national title game.

For real obscure plays . . . How about Darrin Miller knifing through and intercepting a toss sweep and taking it 96 yards against Iowa for a TD in the 1987 Kickoff Classic?

Good one - John Ward's call on that was even better.

I thought it would be interesting to put together a list of what VolNation considers the greatest plays, individual performances, and games of the modern era (which I consider to be 80s - present). That definition probably depends on your age. I'll try to update this first post as we get new entries. How many do you think we can come up with? I'll start with an easy one.

1982 Alabama Broke the streak.
1985 Bama Dale Jones INT of Shula
1986 Sugar Bowl Jeff Powell run
1990 Florida Dale Carter Kickoff return TD
1991 Notre Dame Andy Kelly to Aaron Hayden TD
1991 Notre Dame Floyd Miley Block FG TD
1992 South Carolina Mose Phillips TD run
1995 Bama Manning to Kent TD
1996 Bama Graham TD run
1996 Georgia Manning failed QB sneak to TD
1998 Arkansas Clint Stoerner Fumble
1998 Arkansas Travis Henry on final drive
1998 Florida Deon Grant INT
1998 FSU Fiesta Bowl Dewayne Goodrich INT
1998 FSU Peerless Price catch
2001 Florida Travis Stephens performance
2001 Georgia Travis Stephens TD reception
2004 Georgia win #3 Dawgs in Athens
2005 LSU overcoming 21-0 deficit

How about Pete Panuska's Kickoff return against the Terps in the early 80's? Can't remember which bowl game it was, though.

Al Wilson's performance in the 98 Florida game needs to be on the list. How many fumbles did that guy cause?

1- 1995, Mannings performance against BAMA, including the QB keeper to the left when all 11 BAMA defenders were keying on Jay Graham

2- Jeff Powells 66 yard run against Miami in the 86 Sugar Bowl.

3. Jay Grahams 80 yard run against Bama in 96

4. Condgrdge Holloway and Larry Sievers hooking up on a 2 point converstion to beat Clemson in 74 or 75.

5. TIE: Deon grants INT against UF in 98 and Bill Duffs stop of Eddie George in 97 citrus Bowl

Tony Robinson to Tim McGee to blow the '85 Auburn game wide open.

Was that the play where McGee went up and caught an underthrown bomb and then got knocked into the endzone by an Auburn defender?

Reggie Cobb slicing through the Auburn defense, and the rain, in '89 to announce the rebirth of Tennessee football.
