Hyde's 72 yard INT: Best Bowl play of all time?

[ChosenChildren]

I would have to rank it second all time behind "the Catch".

We need a name for this play:

"Miracle in the Desert"?

"The Tiger Tamer"?

"The Catch" is the best play in my lifetime (for Iowa).

However, Hyde's interception has to be 2nd best within the last 20+ years.
(again, talking about my lifetime)

I can't think of any play that could possibly be better than "The Catch."
It would have to be an 80+ yard TD reception or interception for a TD.

I really don't see any other play possibly better than Tate-Holloway. That was simply amazing. Some will call it luck.....and I don't care. It won the game. That's all I care about.

It was definitely lucky. One of my friends (who goes to Mizzou) actually got worked up about how we call it "The Catch" when Holloway didn't really have to do anything. He was wide open. Didn't have to dive, leap, or anything like that. My friend said he'd have been fine with "The Throw", since Tate did have to make that throw deep downfield. I said it ought to be called "The Clusterf*ck", because nobody seemed to know what they were doing: coaches, offense, and LSU's defense, none of them seemed to know what was going on. But it all worked out, and I'm not about to turn my nose up at that win

Kaeding's game winner against Texas Tech really got us moving in the right direction as a program.

Even though the game sucked, C.J. Jones' kickoff return was right up there with "The Catch" in the excitement department.

I've only been watching Iowa football since 2001, and not closely until 2002/2003 (I was 11-13 at the time), so I don't have a very large sample to choose from.

Gotta be, the way Gabbert looked yesterday, I think he is on track for a Drew Brees type career as a solid NFL QB, any time you make a play like that against that caliber of player, it is amazing.
