Top 100 Plays in College Football History

My list of the top 100 best plays and most iconic moments in college football history. Obviously not everyone will agree, comment which ones you think I missed! Most plays are from the last 30 years since the footage is harder to find in old videos. Thanks for watching!

[@pitcher0319]

Thanks for all the support! I am thinking about making another video sometime in the future. My top choices are: 1) Top 30 games in cfb history 2) The best play of the last 100 cfb seasons 3) A remake of this video with fan suggested plays Let me know what y’all want to see, and reply to this with any other ideas!

[@9DQZQwRp0mnJCjvZLQGl]

I like the first two ideas but I would love to see maybe a combination of those two? Best game of the past 100 seasons? I would love to see the top 100 games of all time since 95% of videos that cover that are just games from 2010 onwards but that seems like a lot to ask for. That or either of the first two suggestions are great

I saw the whole play unfold (we were at midfield on the sidelines...getting ready to head to the locker room for some post-game interviews.) I'll never forget this play for as long as I live.

It’s crazy the amount of Clemson plays not on here, but namely not a single one from CJ Spiller. He had some of the most amazing runs in CFB history. A lot of these were more “iconic” than anything, which is fine. I already knew what the top 2 were gonna be pretty much based on the fact that they hadn’t been shown yet. “The Play” is always gonna be #1 because it was just so insane. And the Auburn field goal return walk off TD to beat Bama and to go to the Natty is also an absolutely iconic play. Especially considering it was the same year that hail mary vs UGA happened that was shown in this video. They were deemed “the team of destiny” or something like that. And it seemed to be true as they started out destroying FSU. But that FSU team was just incredible, and made the comeback to win. Anyway, CFB is the best sport to ever exist, and you’ll never be able to change my mind on that!

I applaud your mammoth effort. Being a Texas fan, I thought it should have had James Street's pass to Randy Peschel on 4th down that led to Texas beating Arkansas in 1969 for the Natty in the Game of the Century, and perhaps Earl Campbell's run around the right end literally knocking a Rice defender 5 yards in the air just before scoring, and maybe "Roll Left" where Texas' quarterback James Brown completed a pass on fourth down and inches from Texas own 28 yard line to Derek Lewis which led to a touchdown to secure Texas' first Big XII championship over #3 Nebraska, but I can't really complain. Good job on this video! That Trinity-Milsaps multiple lateral play is one of my favorites as is the Stanford trombone player getting leveled. And the Rice game tackle from off the sidelines was a touch of class. Enjoyed the whole shebang. The pass from Eddie Phillips to Cotton Speyer that enabled Texas to beat UCLA was a nice inclusion (I was there in the Longhorn Band that day.).

[@dclark142002]

Most fun memories... That PERFECT hook and ladder by Boise State...seriously, watch that play and Oklahoma defends it well, but the pitch is perfect and the safety is ONE STEP out of position...and that starts the fairytale finish. Vince Young SCORES. Probably the most 'I know exactly what is going to happen next' play in national championship games...and STILL USC couldn't stop him. Auburn's magical year. That Georgia game gets overshadowed by the Iron Bowl kick-6...but both games were spectacular...and to be capped off by legendary plays to finish both off. Lightning strikes twice! 'I was there' moments: Ohio State beats Purdue 13-9 on a bit of Krenzel magic. So proud of my Boilermakers in that game. We held the eventual national champion to only 6 points through almost the whole game...and it took a miracle play to beat us. That defense of ours was amazing. Advice on the video: The clock management game for Michigan State vs Michigan should have included the actual play where the clock 'stopped early'...bonus points if you have the Michigan radio call.

[@chilidogg2047]

Great video! Thanks. I would add two plays to this list. One is the Alabama onside kick against Clemson in the national championship game (2015, I think). The other play I would add is from the 1973 season national championship game between Alabama and Notre Dame. Notre Dame was backed up inside its 10 late in the game, third down and long, and they called a completely unexpected play to the tight end for the first down. Then they ran out the clock. As an Alabama fan, that play killed me, but I gotta gove them credit for the call and the execution. The only difference in the game was Alabama had a rare extra point miss. There wasn't any pressure; he just hit it to the left somehow. I can still see it in my mind 50 years later. Otherwise, it's a tie game, so ND got a little lucky to win.

Another game you missed was LSU vs Texas A&M 2018 7 OT game. The game didn't have an amazing play but should have been worth a mention being considered the longest game in college football history.

That play and game had even more significance as the loss spurred Nebraska on...to work even harder in the off-season, and give Osborne his first of three National championships in the 1994, 95 and 97 seasons.

There was literally no other choice than the Stanford band play at number 1. Even if something absolutely insane happens like the kick-6, nothing is ever gonna top it.

I was sitting in my basement watching it on TV and I actually turned it off just when he was about to throw it because I was already crying that we had lost and lost my mind for a second there. But I turned it right back on just in time to see Phelan catch the ball for the touchdown. I went crazy! One of my fun times growing up.

One of the absolute best and greatest compilation of sports moments that I have ever seen! The work and the thought behind it shows through with all the wonderful plays and announcing throughout! Including older plays makes this stand out; the Lewis tackle from the sidelines is rarely seen (the referees gave a TD on the play although from above it looks like the last defender had an angle on the sideline)! If anything was excluded probably the only play (or plays) that I would have tried to find would be Red Grange’s TDs against Michigan (1927?); Roger Staubach’s long rush TD against Army; any Alabama roll-out jump pass by Joe Namath; and Roy Riegel’s (spelling?) wrong way run in the Rose Bowl (1929?).

Talk about perfect timing. Oh, I must concur w/ others who commended you on also including much older games. The fact that you included Tommy Lewis' off-the-bench tackle of Dicky Maegle in the 1954 Cotton Bowl early on cemented it for me that this is a classic.

No FSU’s Peter Warrick national title game juggling catch against VT to seal it? Still a good and fun video.

[@gmoney5947]

I remember being in my bedroom watching Hal mummy get Gatorade poured on him. I said to my mom, the games not over. I was on the field 7 years later when we finally got our revenge against #1 LSU. The ups and downs of being a Kentucky Wildcats Football Fan. Go Big Blue!

[@brailsmt]

The BYU comeback needs a bit more context. That was all done in the final two and a half minutes of the game against the Pony Express (Craig James and Eric Dickerson) of SMU just prior to the SMU death penalty. That game is my first memory of watching BYU football and went a long way to making me such a fan. Another BYU play that should be considered for a list like this would be Kyle Morrel's sack against Hawaii in 1984. It was a goal line stand, he leaped over the line and sacked the QB preserving the perfect season and our eventual narional championship.

[@AdamKlownzinger]

Incredibly underrated video.

[@warrenpeece1726]

Just look up SJS-Fresno 1986 and you will see a touchdown pass by Mike Perez, Spartan QB, that deserves mention here. It was SI's game of the year and SJS scored 2 TDs in the last minute to win.

[@EricOgden-jm1wg]

Great game

[@_________.]

85 yards through the heart of the south? Troy smith to gonzalez vs michigan? Braxton miller to win it vs wisc 2011? 97 rose bowl david boston td to win? Clarett took back interception in the national title 2003? I mean cmon ohio state needs more recognition on here.

[@pitcher0319]

I’ll take a look at those

[@jonconstant3914]

Got to the top 3 and I knew which ones it would be, just a matter of which order they’d be in. Can’t argue with your reasoning. Cal Stanford is the standard for all lateral plays from now into eternity. But damn, the Kick Six is just the best thing in the world. Both are iconic, hard to choose between them.

[@thekrampusclaus4148]

Stanford band play is likely never ever going to happen again. The play itself will happen but the circumstances will never be repeated, as I’m sure all college band directors have learned their lesson after that one.

[@rayeasterling4904]

Gotta go with kick 6 simply because it was not only a great play,but also so much on the line in that game

[@sinman3602]

I still remember the JJ Worton catch. I was part of a UCF pep band at an on-campus restaurant and that game was frustrating up to that point as Temple's PJ Walker was lighting us up. That catch saved the season and might have turned the Knights program's tide. If Worton didn't make that catch, there's no way UCF would have gone to the Fiesta Bowl that year, much less won, and maybe UCF never ends up in the Big 12.

FANTASTIC!!

Woody Hayse with the sucker punch!!!. Love thee old man even though I’m a Michigan die hard.

[@wilsonandlucy]

Solid list. Missed the National Championship Game of the Century 4th down play. UT Beats Arkansas with Nixon in the Stadium.

[@binkyxz3]

Agree. The pass from James Street to Randy Peschel near the end was miraculous. Texas hardly ever threw the ball then.

[@mcouture8169]

At 52:20, QB Stewart throws a hail mary from his own 27 yard line, to the 1 yard line of Michigan (and completed for a touchdownz). I've been watching football for many decades, but I've never seen ANYONE throw a ball 72 air yards.

[@billwolcott]

NC State should reminded of the scintillating TD punt return by UNC Gio Bernard to beat State in closing seconds!

[@scottmcevoy7301]

These are good, did you review the film highlights from the games in the 1800s (like you mentioned) that didn’t make the list though

[@joshuatopp2039]

Gotta say as an ND fan, I was glad to see them up there a good amount of times, even if it was against us, like the illegal bush push, but hey, I love seein my boys in history

All i can ask is that can you do another top 100 this was fun to watch.

Any ideas? Top 100 what?

[@pitcher0319]

@@SuperTayten game winning plays is a good idea, I think if I make another I’ll do top 100 games. But that might be extremely long so maybe top 25 games

[@user-hp1oo7jd5p]

I will agree with your top 100 plays but being a Nebraska Corn huskers alumni myself, that one clip(#33) in the 1984 Orange Bowl😢 going for two at end of the game (no overtime aloud,yet in NCAA Div.1 football) ...and NOT scoring will be burned😢 in my memory bank for the rest of my life

[@GrannySingaporePVP]

Great video! The only play id argue with is the 2016 TN-GA double Hail Mary being as low as 51. Should’ve been much higher in my opinion. Other than that, hard to argue with the other 99

[@epholson97]

Great video!!! But there's definitely a couple plays missing and there's definitely a few plays that shouldn't be on this particular list. Of course, that's 100% my opinion so take it for what it's worth.

[@user-tv1ox5tb3w]

not making the list because so few actually witnessed it ,was in the 1993 iron bowl. my junior year at auburn, undefeated after two previous losing seasons, with first year coach terry bowden, playing with no tv/no bowl game sanctions, hosting the defending national champion crimson tide. auburn was down 14-5 over halfway through the third quarter, driving into bama territory when starting qb stan white was sacked on third down and tore his mcl. forth and 15 on the bama 35 and instead of a fg try or a punt, backup qb patrick nix, high school teammate of mine and qb at etowah, father of bo, talks bowden into going for it. i couldn't believe what i was seeing. nix goes in, takes the snap out of the shotgun, and throws a pitch and catch touchdown to frank sanders over bama's tommy johnson. all time ballsiest play i've ever seen. still down by two, auburn would go on top in the fourth quarter and win the game to finish the season at 11-0. the year after bama had gone undefeated and beat miami for the natty. since we couldn't go bowling and being that we were not alabama, usc, notre dame, a few others, no one remembered us when the final polls came out. there was no split championship that almost certainly would have happened had it been one of the previously mentioned programs. but that's life as an auburn grad and fan.
