Question: What Was Bama's Biggest Single Play Of 2009?

[Alasippi]

To go undefeated there have to be some huge plays made over the course of a season.

Bama had a ton. Here's a few.

Virginia Tech, when GMAC completed a huge 3rd and 18 pass to Colin Peek for a key first down with us trailing 17-16 in the 4th quarter.

Mclain ripping the ball loose and Upshaw catching it and returning it for a TD just before the half in a close game against Kentucky.

Barrons Interception for a TD to start the game against South Carolina that turned out to be huge in a low scoring game.

Cody blocking the field goal against Tennessee. Monumental.

Trent Richardson's incredible touchdown run when Arkansas was stopping Ingram and hanging with us.

Julio taking the short pass and busting a 73 yard TD that turned the LSU game around.

Greg Mcelroy conducting the drive and then hitting Upchurch for the winning TD pass against M.I.T. (Manure Institute Tigers)

And finally Ingrams 63 yard gain on the screen pass against Florida when Florida had just scored to make it close.

I'm sure there are many more that I'm leaving out but these are the key plays that jump right to the forefront in my mind.

So which one was THE best. "The Bama Game Changing Performance Of The Year".

It's a tough choice but I've got to go with Cody blocking the field goal.

Without that one teeny play we wouldn't be playing for a national title.

What's your vote?? These comments should be quite interesting and the debate should be lively.

Roll Tide Roll!!!

Cody's block.

I would vote for the Cody block, but I think it misses even without the block. So I will go with the Ingram screen pass in the Florida game...

 

[GulfCoastTider]

I think that if the rest of the games went the way they ended up going, we'd still be in the BCSCG as a one-loss SEC Champ.

That said, Cody's block gets my vote.

EDIT: Had The Drive not produced the winning score against the barn, then I think our title hopes would have been over.

You said biggest SINGLE play, so I have to give it to Mt. Cody for the block against UT. Had it not been for that, then the second best/most important single play, McElroy to Upchurch for the winning TD over Auburn, would not have been quite as big. But both were huge plays!:BigA:

Easily Mt Cody's block.... RTR!!!!

 

[Alasippi]

Easily Mt Cody's block.... RTR!!!!

I nearly went with Ingrams screen pass only because, if you saw the photo from behind the kicker, if Cody doesn't block the kick against UT, Julio was going to swallow the ball....lol....

Julio's 73 yarder was huge as well. But I had to go with Cody.

 

[RollTideMang]

I'll have to agree with everyone about Rocky Block. I was watching at a bar, and never have I seen so many people go from depression to elation in such a short period of time.

 

[TidePhin]

Cody's Block

 

[TheCrimsonLiver]

Cody's second blocked FG against UT and then it would be his first blocked FG against UT.

 

[DiamondDust]

Cody's block. People thought Tennessee had us dead to rights at that point. I'll never forget how loud the Quad erupted when it happened.

 

[selmaborntidefan]

Julio 73 yard TD.

If Tenn beats us but we win out, we're probably in Passdena anyway.

If we lose LSU, unless they have that Ole Miss meltdown, we sit at home 11-1 last Saturday.

 

[WMack4Bama]

Cody's block.

Without question

 

[Alasippi]

Julio 73 yard TD.

That's a very very very good point. Didn't think of it from that angle.
You might just change the vote!

RTR!

I think we beat LSU without that long TD pass. Once they lost Scott, they gave up completely...

 

[Trobinson97]

Cody's blocks, and GMac to Upchurch at Jordan-Hare.

 

[Tideski]

There is no doubt that Cody's block is the big play. One play that stopped a FG that would have won the game for UT. That one play saved the game, and season. Without it- No Pasadena

 

[Heavy D]

Has to be...

 

[Whiz]

Maximum Block gets my vote!

 

[BamaFossil]

All listed by the OP were big plays, but Cody's block gets my vote.
