Since someone brought up the "Michigan State Miracle"...

what is the greatest/miracle type play that Clemson has made? For me, its Jerry Butler's "The Catch".

Gaines Adams play has got to be the single biggest momentum swing I have ever seen in a game. We were dead and buried before that play, and after it, a totally different football game broke out.

The biggest single momentum shift I've ever seen

Gaines running that messed up FG back.
Every Tiger fan in the stadium thought we were losing prior to that play, and every Tiger fan in the stadium thought we were winning it after. Both were almost 100% locks in the minds of our fans as we were sitting in the rain watching the sloppy performance.

You know, thinking back, weather seems to be unusually bad a lot of the time when we play Wake. Wonder if any statheads have numbers on this?

For the closest to the same emotion (i.e., thinking a sure defeat was inevitable only to have it turn around into a win in unexpected fashion), for me it has to be Gaines Adams' molesting Wake's kicker for the takeaway

What is often forgotten about that play
Oct 22, 2015, 1:29 PM
|
|
Is that there was still a whole quarter to go, and we still needed to score more and stop them as we were still behind.
But there was just this feeling that we now could not be stopped, and wake was doomed.

Weird game and weird play. Didn't think we had a chance to come back the way our offense was playing. The legend of #93 was born that day. One of my favorite Tigers.

I didn't witness this game but I remember hearing about a play where a Clemson defender batted away a Gamecock pass on a two point conversion allowing the Tigers to win 7-6. Anybody here know the details?

Not to take away from either of "The Catch" plays, but the play Gaines made seems more miraculous.

Its not my #1 but it is right up there when you think about the fact that he blew up the kicker, sort of tipped the ball to himself and ran it in. A tremendous individual effort to change the course of the the game.

it was a 10-point play and turned around an entire season (it is one of the best at the very least)

Underwood only scored a TD on the 2nd interceptioin...the first one he was run down, I think by George Rogers, at about the 10 yard line.

Also, Trapp's safety vs uga in 1987. Did not see it , but Sterling Smith's safety to win Gator Bowl in 1950 vs Miami{?}.

UGA 86 - very very late in the 4th quarter, we punted to UGA
Oct 22, 2015, 4:15 PM
|
|
down by 5. As the ball bounced near the goal line, it miraculously hit the heel of one of our players which caused the ball to shoot straight up in the air and easily downing it at the goal line. UGA was sacked the next play for a safety. The ensuing kickoff to the Tigers led to the winning drive on a FG with 2 seconds left.

4th and 25.
Gaines Adams, definitely. We were down 17-3 going into the fourth. They were about to kick a field goal to go up 20-3. That play made it instead 17-10, and we steamrolled them in the fourth for a 27-17 win. Crazy momentum swing, in their house.

Exactly - 1st and 35 I remember. Whitehurst ran a QB draw on 3rd down to keep the drive alive.

lol - for me I still remember Adam Humphries running the punt return back for a TD. I haven't seen any of us do that forever. Is that still possible?
Of course, the Boulware INT for a TD was pretty darn good too.
Artavis Scott stepping on to coot had for a TD was awesome. Loved that one.
Mike Williams stretched out for a TD reception.
DW4's first TD to Peake vs. UGA is a classic already.
That said - Gaines TD was definitely the best. But I could list hundreds of plays that were awesome.

Not a miracle play, but perhaps the best play was Spiller's kickoff return vs Maryland
Oct 23, 2015, 3:31 PM

He had about three guys draped on him, one of which was trying to wrestle the ball away. He somehow got away (and lost a shoe in the process) and scored a TD. It was incredible.
