Because tinpanalley suggested it, and because this dovetails nicely with Today's SI Photo Gallery (College Football's Greatest Plays), I post just for southernbangel:

However, I'm still cranky, because they put the Bush Push #1, and they don't even rank Nebraska going for 2 in the 1984 Orange Bowl. Or the 'phantom clip' on Rocket Ismail's punt return in the '91 game. Ah well. No list is perfect.

That was Bill Walsh? Yeah, I'd say he knows what he's talking about. I mean... why would you punt to one of the most dangerous college returners of all time? That's like punting to Deion when he was at FSU, or Desmond Howard when he was at Michigan.

Yup. And if not for the clipping call (photos showed the blocker was even with the defender and hit him on the side, plus it was out of the play) they really got burned. Colorado's punter at the time was Tom Rouen, who's still kicking aroun the NFL somewhere, but Rocket made them look very bad.

Oh, yeah, Rocket should've been tackled at the beginning of the play. No question about it. Whoever that was totally botched that tackle.

Also, Youtube has the Desmond Howard "heisman pose" punt return against OSU. Now I'm gonna have to look for FSU Deion highlights.

YouTube is just awesome.
