I would put CJ's swing pass catch and run vs. GT in '06

in there. That game may not have been as significant as the other ones on your list in retrospect (although a beat-down of a top 12 GT team on National TV/Gameday felt huge at the time) but that is one of my favorite plays of all time!!

The OT game-winning play at Miami a few years ago was great.

As far as incredible thrill...

You HAVE to include Woody to McKelvey against GT in 2001. Sean McDonough's call still gives me chills and is one of the top, if not THE top play by play call of a football game in my opinion (regarding Clemson).
"He's got a man! McKelvey! MY GOODNESS! TOUCHDOOOWN!"
Classic.

1980 ... Willie Underwood Pick-6 vs SCAR in DV to help upset highly favored Gamecocks.
1981 ... recovery of lateral vs UNC in Chapel Hill preserving 10-8 victory and continuing perfect season.
1987 ... Safety by James Lott vs UGA setting up Treadwell's chip shot winning FG in DV
2000 ... Woody Dantzler to Rod Gardner to set up winning FG vs SCAR
2012 ... 4th & 16 throw and catch from Tajh Boyd to Nuk Hopkins vs LSU

Great list - I might have to sub Butler's The Catch I for Lott's safety (just because I'm partial to anything that breaks coot heart)

I was assuming that the OP wanted plays that happened 1980 and forward.
Agree that "The Catch" in 1977 is one of, if not the biggest play in Tiger history.

I love the James Davis run in Tallahassee...

The quick snap play that caught FSU off guard.
Also the TD a few plays later where our walk on tight end just BLEW UP two FSU players paving the way to the endzone. Loved both.
