Biggest Play of the Year (2015)

[mrmax86]

Each day from today (8/20) until the Friday before Kickoff (8/29), I'd like to discuss what our favorite plays are from each year. Only one can win from each year. On game day, I'll make a new thread combining all the plays VN selected.

Today is 2015. The first year we were good under Butch. I'll nominate a couple plays, and you guys help with the rest. After we come to a consensus, I'll update the OP. The post with the most likes will win.

The TD throw from Dobbs to Josh Smith was one of my favorite plays that year. See 54 second mark of this clip.

My Nominations

Evan Berry kick return vs Western Carolina, TD


Jennings to Dobbs vs Florida, TD


Dobbs Magic in Outback Bowl (fumble, recovery, sideline tightrope, TD)

Dobbs along with Karmara and Hurd made it look like Northwestern defenders were running in mud that day. Evan Berry even had a pick six. What a game!

How can you beat the Dobbs Nail Boot!??? Have any of the other plays even been named?
Beating powerhouse rival Georgia, on the road. That play meant so much.

guess you want us to wait until the 2016 thread, but this has to be a finalist of any best plays of the past 10 years.

Another Evan Berry highlight. He was just downright rude for this one. He should have just taken a knee.

I changed it to be more specific. I agree with you, thank you!

The good plays were games we should have won or against cupcakes...

I'll say Hurd's 37 yard TD on the screen pass against Kentucky. Dobbs and Malone also made nice plays in that game.

Ignoring competition level best play has to be Evan Berry's return tho

Which one lol, he returned 3 kickoffs and the INT in the bowl game

Edit: nm I see you liked the INT return.

Haha! The 88 yard kickoff return against WCU where he got spun around in traffic, stayed on his feet, juked a guy, broke two more tackles and escaped a pile of bodies before running away from everyone.

Jennings to Dobbs for six down 7-0 on the road in the Swamp.

Shame how that one ended up though.

My vote: Jennings to Dobbs double pass

 

[mrmax86]

Last chance!!! I’ll tally votes first thing in the morning.

Thinking about the 2015 season still makes me angry. There were no excuses for us losing to Florida, Oklahoma, and Arkansas that season. In fact, we had to do everything possible to blow the Oklahoma and Florida games. The clock management and play calling at the end of those games were abysmal. We should have been 11-1 that year.
