Biggest Play of the Year (2016)

[mrmax86]

Each day from 8/20 until the Friday before Kickoff (8/29), I'd like to discuss and vote for our favorite plays 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 2016. The peak of the Butch Jones era. Broke the Florida Streak. Hurd/Kamara/Dobbs/Jennings/Malone/etc. 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 votes (likes/comments/etc) will win.

Didn't we lose this game?

Yes, but his effort helped us tie the game and force overtime instead of a certain loss. It was a great play.

I get no enjoyment watching great plays in games lost.

I know the dobb nail boot prob deserves to win and probably will but I’m voting for Jennings burning Tabor.

That was my first and only game I have ever attended. Down like 21-3 or something at the half and coming back to win that game was a memory I’ll never forget. The cheers, silence when he bobbled the ball, the cheers when he caught it while staying in bounds was just absolutely amazing. One of my best memories of TN football.

That rundown and forced fumble by Malik Foreman was a great play that deserves to be remembered, regardless of the outcome of the game. One of the most spectacular momentum swings in Vol football history and it showed the kind of individual effort that we want from all of our players.

And we thought Botch was our man after the fl game. felt like the Hindenberg going down.

My vote for the biggest play of 2016 was UGA's excessive celebration in the end zone celebrating their TD with 11 seconds left. That penalized them 15 yds on the kick off and ultimately led us to the position we were in for the Dobbs / Jennings pass that was priceless!! I was there. In that end zone. It was awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honorable mention to Evan Berry for the kickoff return too

I agree. Evan had a great return, but still had the 15 yd head start. That penalty literally put us within hail mary range. If Evan ran the same amount of yards on the KO return, we would have been heaving the ball from UGA's 35 yd line.

Not going for two, ESPECIALLY after they were offsides on the initial point after attempt and the ball would’ve been at the 1.5 yard line, was another in a long line of Butch loser mentality costing us.
