Another play that was crucial to winning the first Natty in 30+ years was 4th and 14.

At the 8:13 mark:

I hate Dan Fauts.

I have to agree, for all the reasons you've already mentioned.

Also, even though we're only comparing individual plays/moments, I think the games they happened in has to be a factor. It's nitpicking but we're nitpicking greatness here after all...

Those Semifinal games are all-time Buckeye games, too.

Objectively, that Purdue game was pretty awful. And that is without even considering that Purdue team was not good. The game itself overall is a brutal watch. Yes, Holy Buckeye was legendary, but the 3 hour game surrounding it was...not good. If you don't believe me, try putting yourself through a full rewatch.

Also, rounding out the Mount Rushmore has to be Clarett's strip of Sean Taylor.

The Purdue game as a whole was terrible, hell my dad was pulling me away to leave minutes before it happened. Any of that game before that play was worth it for the pure ecstasy of seeing Jenkins haul in that TD right in front of us. And then Gamble picking it to seal it after we remembered there was still plenty of game left.

Almost every game in the second half of that season was terrible from an aesthetic perspective and in everyone of those games there were many of the plays I see listed, and some not listed, that you can honestly say "If this doesn't happen we don't win the NC". I mean probably close to two dozen of them. 2-3 every game for 7-8 games and that was before Miami.

I rate Holy Buckeye #1 simply because of 1) how it made me feel and 2) for being first in the long list of great things that have happened in the 21st century for us.

I rate Holy Buckeye #1 simply because of … 2) for being first in the long list of great things that have happened in the 21st century for us.

I’d put Jonathan Wells’ 46 yard House Call against the cheaters in 2001 as first on that list, but your point is a good one despite that.
