Unfortunately, we were not the beneficiaries of the "plays"...BYU was.

No. 1 shouldn't even have been in the top 15.

Agreed. How does that beat out The Cal-Stanford play or The BC-Miami Hail Mary? What a joke.

What about Bobby Leach in Lubbock?

I think we are dealing with an advertisement. I went back to look at this link again, and most of the top 15 were different games than had been there before. I think it is an ad to please all sports fans and suck them in to Sports Illustrated.

No it's not. :shock:

Take a look again. At least the article or whatever your call it keeps coming up for me with the same ranked plays in the same order.

Wow. I think those captions were written by a monkey without a spell checker. My favorite:

"Young literally put the Longhorns on his back and carried them to the title."

I think he may have misunderstood the meaning of the word "literally"...

What? With all due respect, that's insane. Stanford/Cal should be No. 1, but Frazier was unbelievable that night. He's top 2 or 3. His team wasn't that great that year, comparitively, and he absolutely gutten the Gators. An amazing performance.

I have looked at it 3 times and have had a different #1 each time. Latest is "the run" from I believe a Nebraska game. Did not even see Flutie's bomb or the Cal Stanford game the last time thru.

Went back again and found Flutie around #13 and Cal Stanford around #14.

OK, start our own list...

"Top Ten Plays involving SMU"

No. 10--Dennis Partee's field goal in Austin in 1962 wih seconds left on the clock, to upset the Longhorns on the way to SMU's SWC Championship.

No. 9 anyone?
