One Arizona Wildcat football fan's Top 10 plays*

*since the invention of the VCR.

[@mochasus8899]

Miss this type of Arizona...

[@cwilson4097]

Great memories. I remember my Pops always give me the breakdown of the players and the teams of college football. He was an avid Wildcat fan and made us all Die Hard fans. We miss him a lot and watching Arizona football brings back many great memories

[@djonian]

Completely and utterly AWESOME! Alot of people forget the D-Lew stuffing of Musgrave at the goal line...but that play defined AZ Football under Tomey. Stoops should have watched this before he came into town thinking AZ Football started with him. Please. Bear Down!

[@morrisonfan1977]

I was there with my two bros, 1993.. Chuck Levy, ..touchdown!! #3 on the list. Bad ass upset..

[@gonzalesclan]

The DT patch was for Damon Terrell, a player who died right before the 1995 season. They honored him all year.

[@JediFight]

That was one of the greatest videos I have ever watched. Awesome memories. I was at so many of those games (both the Tempe and Tucson games). Remember the experiences like yesterday.

[@sam6818]

Wow this brought back some great childhood memories, thanks so much for putting this together.

[@ajojoe5316]

Whoever put this video together got it right. ... As a lifelong U of A fan who attended home games as early as 1972, I can attest to this. .... You even got Holland's 92-yard TD reception from Tunnicliffe in there (and that's a must). .... Of course, there's no way to accumulate the great plays of the 50s, 60s and 70s ......But from 1980 through today, this video is spot on.

[@tominrochester]

6:58- the announcer then says "And the Ibis can't believe it... I have never, ever seen anyone outrun the Miami secondary the way Chuck Levy just did." The (legitametly) vaunted Miami secondary had two defenders WITH THE ANGLE on Levy and he still outran them. I'm not a Uof A fan, but that was one of the most incredible runs i've ever seen in College football. Vision, a cut, and then straight SPEED... WOW is right!

[@fortnitebattlepass1179]

Thank you and Bear Down-These would have been my plays too.

[@somberanakin]

Leap by the Lake was epic 7:05

[@petesolomon]

Thanks for bringing back some great memories.

[@JimmyPeterson7]

You did a wonderful job on this video. Bravo.

[@alansmith6376]

Needs to add the "Hill Mary", I'd say top 3 for sure.

[@JediFight]

Also great

[@ArturoVandelay]

The lack of class ASU fans showed when Steve Kerr's dad got killed was when I finally gave up and considered UA-ASU a real rivalry. Until then I was happy when either school did well.

[@HankHelley]

Thanks for assembling this set of clips...it's always good to remember these amazing plays... H H H

[@BearDownCats96]

Even the announcer’s back then hated us that kick was straight on against Oklahoma and the guy goes “missed it”

[@dkompare]

Fantastic stuff! I was there that day in '86 for the DeBow and Cecil plays; unforgettable! Oh, and Devil fans: scoreboard!

[@grandadmiraldon5537]

i watch this as a WVU fan and all i got to say is enjoy the good times while they last friends

[@teamcorporate24]

THANK YOU, sir, for putting this together. I'm a pretty recent UA alum (Class of '04), but I remember some of these plays, and it's awesome to see some of the other plays for the first time. Honorable mention request: Mike Thomas' 51-yard punt return for a TD against ASU last year - if for no other reason than the two vicious blocks that UA handed out on the return. Thanks again for taking time to put this together. You're awesome!

[@franktoledo6342]

Feast on this Rebuild Arizona 2022 you brought home the State Cup home.

[@dittoheadAZ]

You just KNEW what was going to be Number One! And I got to see that game! Ahh, happy memories - thank you for this excellent video!

[@beogradjanin81]

Thanks for putting this together man! It's priceless!!!

[@JediFight]

Crazy how many of those I saw live as a spectator in the stadium.

[@gonzalesclan]

1985 vs. ASU. The fumbled snap led to a FG by UA to tie the game when it looked like it was lost. Even though the game was a tie, it felt like a win for UA and a loss for ASU.

[@gpwerner]

1987, actually. Tomey's first year.

[@idanoreilly]

Yes, the 106 yard pick-six was great; but I have to say the "Leap by the Lake" should be #1!!

[@burkhartlaw1]

D Lew was so good. I'm only on trung x3 but I'm hoping DLew's stop at the goal line vs Oregon is in here.

[@Sportsgeek1991]

As a bruin fan that 2005 game still hurts

[@NHLman27]

Dang, UA and ASU have played some crazy games against each other

[@coldcardinal]

Wow, I never thought I'd see some of those clips again. I wasn't sure which you'd pick between #2 and #1 -- but I'll always be attached to #1, since I was just a few rows up in the AZ endzone when Cecil intercepted the pass.

[@JediFight]

Great times. I was at probably 6 of those. Or more. Just noticed I commented on this video 11 years ago. :)

[@TheArizonawildcat12]

your name is amazing. thank you for being so amazing.

[@ahrzhule]

I wish there was footage of 1975 against Texas Tech. Came back from being down 27-6 and won it with a 41 yard field goal and a safety in the end for good measure.

[@markalexander4884]

We may have to face those Red Raiders a annually in the up-coming years.

[@gonzalesclan]

@kpb909er #8 happened in 1985. ASU needed a win to get to the Rose Bowl and the Cats won on a Max Zendejas field goal.

[@pinonXO]

4:32 is amazing!!!

[@72thcking]

Jed Fisch please watch and bring this back!

[@geraldmanriquez5832]

Way to pick 6 coach Cecil

[@FatGuyInLitlCoat]

no, they are the right order, chuck cecil's play against asu was the best PERIOD

[@TIMMIEMAC17]

awesome job on the video! BTFD!

[@joepontiac5533]

Love the video, you need to make another one from the Bronowski era

[@AnthonyTV414]

😢💙👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@pit4386]

My dad is Richard Maddox #56 and #71. Does anyone remember him? If so comment

[@gpwerner]

Maddox was The Man. Underrated LB/DE for Desert Swarm.

[@SoonerBear]

I remember the bowl game where they absolutely abused MIami. Hilarious

[@chrisuncleahmad]

What was the game with the "All they had to do was punt the ball?" and when was it?

[@bentheBOMB177]

u of a is in the top 10 while asu isnt even on the charts GO CATS

[@Stormskip]

Hmm... 12ft jump versus a 106yd interception td return. Since I'm pretty sure that's the longest int td return in ncaa history, it's #1... in everything.

[@uaruby]

Cool list, but the Lewis Int is easily in the top 5 not just the top 10.

[@Lfg117]

Bc probation, Arizona's '81 upset win vs USC, (13-10) wasn't on TV. In-game, Az MLB Pace pancaked Marcus Allen on a run play. Only the 2 schools have film from that game. I saw the Larry Smith's weekly coach's show the week after the game. As time expired, the L.A. Times captured a famous image ofAz's Julius Holt celebrating at the Coliseum.

[@gonzalesclan]

@usteeler81 That was 2007. Game was played on a Thursday night on national TV.

[@TheHtown34]

Got to love this video!!! But why are so may of them against asu? Why waste footage on them, since they don't deserve it? All of these plays are freaking awesome and I love watching them. But this video would be even sweeter if more of the highlights were against more respectable schools!!!

[@usteeler81]

When was that game aganist #2 Oregon?

[@Berkutt]

I cannot accept a top-10 list of Arizona plays that does not include something involving Tedi Bruschi.

[@jalenvargas8613]

nice video but you forgot the hill mary

[@alanrubenstein7618]

They did not forget the Hill Mary. Look when the list was made.

[@chrisuncleahmad]

When was the No Roses #8 punt derp moment? Was it 1981?

[@gpwerner]

The Mike Schuh flubbed punt was in 1987. The Don B'Ans recovery was in 1985.

[@sabath124]

Beardown Arizona beardown red and blue

[@sadeyesnative]

[@jesskelley4726]

Best team in pac 10 in 1993 and 1998 Go Cats

[@markalexander4884]

Your mascot is a homosexual devil, and your team colors are the colors of the old Soviet Union. Disgraceful
