Greatest KSU FB plays of all time

[The Minister]

Random topic to engender good feelings toward the football program on the eve of the spring game:

Toss out your favorite KSU football play (or plays) of all time.

Mine: (1) Mario Smith decapitating the BYU receiver in the Cotton Bowl, 1996.  The sound that hit made could be heard loud and clear in the far reaches of the upper deck.  (I was sitting there...)
(2) Terence Newman's return of the blocked punt against OU in the 4th Q for a TD, 2000.  The stadium was so loud my head hurt.  Great play, despite the final outcome.
(3) TE screen to Justin Swift from Michael Bishop for a TD in the Fiesta Bowl, 1997.  Snyder outschemed Pasqualoni so badly that there were three KSU blockers out front with no one to block. 

ksu_FAN, I'm counting on you.

Bishop to Gavin Peries against Ohio U. was amazing.
The loudest the stadium has ever been was the T-New block punt return against OU.

But I gotta go with the Kevin Lockett catch against CU. Unreal.

I'd go with the james terry one, but yeah. I'd had to be from the greatest sporting event in this states' history.

Beasley to Morgan, 2000 NU game.  Duh.

In the snow no less.

[cireksu]

roberson's 90 yd td run against Nebraska in 02 was pretty sweet.

Newman's return of the extra point against USC

Bobby Walker's back to back pick 6's against ISU in 02.

[cireksu]

Brandon Archer's pick 6 against Mizzou in 05 to seal the game.

[cireksu]

roberson's td run against texas in 03 the one where Terry lays out the Texas linebacker.

[Bookcat]

KSU decapitating Zac Wegner.

[pufizzle]

Sproles dragging a Nub linebacker into the endzone in '03.  That, and Roberson getting in the face of Lord and the other captains at the toss before the game.  That gave me unbelievable goosebumps.

Is that on youtube??

Every play Roberson made @ OU in 2001.

Including "the pitch".

I'm still in awe of that performance.

[chum1]

Roberson was the best passer I ever saw.

[WildFan101]

I can't think of any "great" plays at the moment, but the best play from last year was Freeman to Figurs for our first TD against Texas.

[cas]

I think last year it had to be Freeman's run to beat Okie State.

[Pike]

I can't think of any "great" plays at the moment, but the best play from last year was Freeman to Figurs for our first TD against Texas.

No the best plays of the season were those 2 halfback passes in a row. I was so happy.

-Bishop to McDonald back of endzone '98 NU
-Ochs ripping Crouchems head off '98 NU
-Snow pass
'00 OU blocked punt.....will never hear a stadium louder than that ever again

.....jesse tetuans last snap wearing purple

There were some great plays last year

1)Josh run vs OSU
2)Watts pick vs OSU
3)Nelson 80 yard TD pass to clinch the win in boulder
4)multitude of Texas plays

I don't think we had any during the 2004/2005 seasons outside of the archer interceptions.

I'd probably have to go with that one as well

It was pretty loud when T-New returned that blocked field goal all the way back in 2002 vs USC.

[SkyWalkJUSTforFUN]

How about when we came from 21 points down vs. Oklahoma in 2000 and got within a touchdown of the Sooners in the 4th quarter when Brice Libel blocked the OU punt and Newman scooped it up and ran it in for a TD......




Loudest it has ever been in BSFS/KSU Stadium hands down......

[chuckleberry]

In 2004 the sproles run at mizzzou where he made that unbelievable cut and and was on pontiac game changing plays. that was an amazing run and was like the only bright spot of 2004.

[catdude33]

Martin's 65 yard field goal was pretty sweet to watch.  It was at a meaningless point in the game, but it was still awesome.

[ksufan89]

Patton KO return vs. OSU last year was pretty good.

Jeff Kelly scoop and score vs NU with 3 seconds left

Sproles spin move to lose those USC players in 02. he had another incredible play that game too.

[The Minister]

No one has mentioned it yet, so:

Straw to Hernandez.  "Hernandez! Hernandez!  Touchdown K-State!!"  (1989)



Ah, the days of Mitch Holthus.

[ChicagoCat]

My all time funniest/awesome plays:

At baylor when Baylor nudged David Allen off the punt to keep him from a return and then they quit on it and he picked it up and returned it anyways.

Also the 2003 pick in the back of the endzone where white limps off the field with the dangling arm.  I am still laughing.

Joe Hall running most the field only to finally get taken down at the one.
