I voted Teddy's punt return. All those plays listed, of course, are great plays, and as LJB points out there are a number which didn't even make the list, but that Punt return still sends chills down my spine. I've mentioned it before, in some preseason thread, I figure... There's this moment when it looks like Ginn's caught, but he cuts it up to his left, and at that moment, the crowd - collectively and at the same moment - realized "he's housing this one"

I friggin LOVE that moment.

Damn, that's a beautiful list.

i voted for the bomb to ginn on 2nd and inches. i think it sticks out in my mind because of how shocked i was that we would run a play like that. it really shows that tressel is not afraid to break tendencies in 'the game'. i know there are more important plays in the era, but to me that one was the best.

I know there are a ton of plays but how do you leave off Krenzel to Jenkins on 4th and 1 to beat Purdue in the magical 02 season?

"the game"

The catch...as Troy was almost sacked on that play and then made pure magic happen.

Turnover by Ohio State which was then stripped out of the late Sean Taylor's arms and recovered by Maurice Clarett, but since thats not on there I'd say a TD vs tsun.

Because the Purdue game wasn't played against Michigan. Guess you didn't notice the theme..

The Catch.

My vote went to "The Catch" however, the playaction pass to Teddy Ginn where he was lined up at TE is a very close second - great play, great time to call it, great execution.

All very very very good plays. I love that list.

Just to add a little food for thought to the "Other" category- #13's wheel route in 2002.

I cannot remember ever feeling more excitement in The Game than when Will Allen picked off that pass. Pure jubilation. Jumping around, hugs, beers sprayed everywhere...

'The Catch' would be a close #2.

My bad, I am known to be half-retarded.

"Holy Buckeye" at Purdue...happened right in front of me and was the defining moment of the NC season.
