Re: Greatest Alabama CFB Play

Seems like an obvious answer. Tua to Smith.

Perhaps second best is a better question. On side kick against Clemson is mine.

Mack Williams... is that tongue-in-cheek because that's what the announcer called him during the play?

Only one of those plays took Alabama from loser to winner. Tua!

I voted for Drake's TD......

But, what's often overlooked is the last OJ Howard Screen Pass which set up the final TD vs Clemson for the 2015 Title......to me, that play was every bit as big as the Drake TD or the Onside Kick....but with much less fanfare.

Re: Greatest Alabama CFB Play

I'd have to say the Tua pass. While those other plays changed the momentum of games the Tua pass turned a sure loss into a win. Things looked bleak after the sack because even if we would have gotten a chance to try a long FG to force a second OT it's doubtful our kicker could have made it.

Re: Greatest Alabama CFB Play

Based on current poll results (24 of 27 are for Tua's bomb), I'm wondering if I should have started a "2nd best play" poll :)

Mike Shula’s td pass to beat Georgia (1985 I had to look up the year). Growing up in California I always watched the Alabama-Auburn and OSU-Michigan games. I started rooting for Bama just because of Bear Bryant. I remember watching the Shula td game and going crazy. It’s not the best td in Bama history but still a cool play.

The Tua TD pass was too obvious a winner, due to both recency bias and the fact that it happened to win this big game for us on the final play. I would likely have made that my choice as well, but I knew it would be first, and went with the Mack Wilson TD.
