    John HarrisQ: What's your favorite college football ending of all-time?A: ...But, my favorite, ironically enough, was from this past year - the double dip that was the Capital One Bowl and the Rose Bowl. To be brutally honest, bowl season was drab and boring last year, until these four teams took the field on New Year’s Day. These back to back games might be the best endings in one eight hour time frame ever. Although it happened only months ago, the Iowa-LSU game gets overshadowed by the Rose, but it was fantastic in its own right. Keep in mind that the Tigers fought back late, scoring on two touchdowns in the final eight minutes, behind redshirt freshman JaMarcus Russell, to put LSU in front with precious little time on the clock. Then, Iowa’s Drew Tate, the gutty Texan, got one final shot. With the clock running down and virtually no chance at a field goal, Tate found Warren Holloway down the right seam behind the LSU defense (which is a bit ironic considering that LSU issued lesson #1 in Hail Mary defense to Kentucky in 2002). Great ending, but made even better by the fact that this was Holloway’s first touchdown in his last game as a Hawkeye. You don’t just make something like that up. That’s Friday Night Lights with a happy ending. ....

    We’ll be hard pressed in our lifetime to see two endings of that magnitude on the same day, not to mention New Year’s Day. That’s why they’re my favorite ending.



    Weeeell... Im glad LSU's (lack of) defensive effort didn't go un-noticed...

    :hihi:

    Ranked # 4 by CFN... behind BYU's comeback against SMU (think I missed that one), the Flutie pass (the only game ANY easterner can ever recall), and the Cal/Stanford game (where the refs blew about four calls, including an illegal formation on the kickoff).
