1. Tie - Colorado in 1990 - We tied them and they went on to earn a piece of the National title. Also Georgia in 1981 when they were defending Nat'l champs - I think Hershel Walker is still racking up yards from that game.

2. Nebraska in 1997

3. Martin to Price in the 99 Fiesta Bowl - Tee stumbled as he was dropping back and I have no idea how Peerless Price stayed on his feet AND outran the defender once he caught the ball.

4. Tie between Jeff Powell against Miami in the 86 Sugar Bowl and Jay Graham going 80 yards to beat Alabama in 96.

I like you 2 pick, I was thinking it also. What year was Nebraska the powerhouse that beat Fla?

GAVol's 1 & 2 are spot on.

3. 1999 Fiesta Bowl easily. However, some other fun ones: 2003 @ Florida Hail Mary; 2004 v. Florida Ainge to Smith

4. I'm sure there are better, but I will never ever forget Travis Stephens' most famous run from the 2001 Florida game. He jukes past a guy, kind of quasihurdles a leg tackle and then runs flat over another defender.

1. I'm going to vote for @ Syracuse in 1998, just because nobody has mentioned it.

2. The Nebraska Orange Bowl fiasco.

3. Vaugn Reeves' tounchdown pass against Florida. How many TE's have you seen throw a TD?

4. How about the 4th and 2 end around to beat Miami in the Orange Bowl.

Other fun ones include:
*Aaron Hayden taking a screen pass in for the go ahead TD against ND in 1991.

*Mose Phillips taking a screen pass and wading down the sideline in 1992 against Florida.

*Von Reeves taking an End Around handoff from Andy Kelly and hitting Carl Pickens in stride 50 yards downfield to rub it in Florida's face in 1991.

Great minds think alike. That was without a doubt one of the coolest trick plays that I've ever seen. Who would ever look for a TE wearing a full facemask to take a handoff much less pull up and throw a perfect bomb?
