Coolest FB plays in your memory bank

I will leave out Tate to Holloway and Stanzi to McNutt because I consider these to be the best dramatic plays in my memory bank.

For sheer entertainment value my picks:

1. Timmy D returning one punt all the way and then breaking like 10 tackles and almost housing the next punt return vs OSU in Kinnick in '96

2. Clayborn's punt block, scoop and TD run from 2009

3. Shonn Greene's sideline TD run vs. Wisconsin where he burst through the hole, did a spin move, busted like 5 tackles to get in the end zone.
 
Sucks to admit but.

Depends on your definition of coolest. To me, probably because I was there, was the knocking down the goal post at MSU.

I always liked Jon's afternoon show open, with Pete Taylor's call of that play...even though it's a Clone play it would give me goosebumps sometimes listening to the excitement building in Pete's voice as the play unfolds.

Jon was playing that open well into baseball season last year.
 
"Coolest"? It would have to be the DJK KOR against OSU this past season. Fumbles the kickoff, appears to be merely trying to "salvage" whatever he could out of the play, then simply heads along the sideline needing only to avoid one "real" tackle.

The 92-yard McNutt TD against Indiana was also cool because as you watched it develop it looked like just a good gain that turned into a long TD where both teams were shocked by the result.

But "coolest"? I guess the Sash pick-6 against Indiana could also fit that billing.

Just to take it a little old school...the Chuck Long naked bootleg against a Norm Parker led MSU defense to win the game; or the year before (I believe) a Chuck Long to Dave Moritz bomb against fOSU at Kinnick, leading to a victory over the Bucks.

Long-to-Moritz was 1983, but yes, a very enjoyable play to watch. Moritz ran more yards within a 100-yard football field than anyone before or since!

The 1985 fake-to-Harmon-naked-bootleg-winning TD was simply sensational. Not sure about "cool" in its strictest terms :)
 
This cause it came from my hawkeye fball clips back in the day....
