Favorite play from last year

[McGrowlTowelZac]

QB sneak, when we finally used it...I think it was in the Texas game?

When we almost paralyzed Colt McCoy.

The Freeman GW TD against Okie State was probably my favorite.  I sit in the corner of that endzone and as the play unfolded and I started going crazy I just kept thinking "you could not have scripted this game any better."  Freeman's first start as a true freshman after all of the hype and he leads the team to a comeback victory in a home game that we desperately needed to keep from CUing the rest of the season.  It was how the game set-up and then unfolded in the 4th quarter that made it pretty incredible.

-Leon Patton's TD toss to Wilson in the Texas game because of the B&D factor with 2 trick plays in a row.

-The whole 3rd quarter of the Texas game.

-Leon Patton's KO return for a TD in the Okie State game.  That was huge because we needed all of the ST points we could get to squeak it out since the offense was in super conservative mode for 3 qtrs.  ST had a coming out party that game.

-Jordy's long TD catch and run in the CU game that probably sealed it.

-Figures reverse in the CU game.

-Johnson's TD run from about 25 yards out in the Iowa State game that I think broke it open for us.  Before it, I was worried we'd lose and not make a bowl game again.

-Illinois State goal line stand on 2-pt conversion to decide the game.  Again, right where I sit I saw it clear and close right down the line.  I was about to throw-up had they made it.  That could have ended our bowl hopes in week 1.  Incredible stepping up by the defensive front to stuff it.

-Colt McCoy wincing in pain on the sideline.  Not the the play, just the wincing in pain.

Illinois State's stupid head coach going for 2. 

I think the stupider play was him taking the fifteen yard penalty for diving in on the kickoff, thus allowing us to go for two instead of forcing us to kick a long extra point.

JF's td versus OSU.

[WildCatzPhreak]

I loved JF's scramble for a TD against OSU, but it's hard for that to be my favorite play because it wasn't well executed at all.  In fact, the play had blown up, and if Freeman's athleticism hadn't taken over and won that game, we might have not gone to a bowl game at all.

[NorthChamps07]

That's what made the play so exciting!  It was also the crecendo of an incredible comeback.

[WildCatzPhreak]

True.

Man, that reminds me.  I missed like THREE home games all year.  Care to guess which three they were?

Florida Atlantic(yawn)
Oklahoma State(was pissed about missing this one)
Texas(mother &@#%er)

[Bullfn33]

The only game I missed was Marshall but saw it on TV and it seemed like somewhat of a snoozer win. 

Best games were:
1. Texas, signature win
2. Oklahoma State, Freeman's first game as starter, leads comeback victory
3. Iowa State, because it was a must win to make a bowl game
4. FAU, because we found out we didn't totally blow balls
5. Marshall, because we won
6. Louisville, gave hopes for a good defense
7. Illinois State
8. Nebraska

I wish Freeman would do more scrambling/running this year (minus the fumbling).

That sounds a lot like the play (though it was a pass, not a run) to beat ku in 92.

I suppose I point to two stretches of about 5 minutes from last year that are significant; the last 5 minutes vs OSU and the 5 minute span in the 3rd quarter vs UT where we built our lead as being the major moments I remember as favorites.  Those 10 minutes made our season; by far our two most significant wins and the difference between being 7-6 or 5-7 (or worse).

I agree.  He's not a running QB and we shouldn't try to make him into one - but even prostyle QBs should scramble when there are huge yards to be had.  I think Prince and Franklin are coaching him to be patient in the pocket and make smart throws, discouraging him from scrambling.  It's good to have him making better decisions, but taking scrambling completely out of the picture handicaps us IMO.

That pass was in 91.  92 was my freshman year and we got demolished in Lawerence.

I'm going with the Freeman scramble against OSU.  That was the only chance I had to make it back up to Manhattan last year, and that play happened right in front of me.  After witnessing Freeman's performance against Baylor first hand, I didn't think he had that in him.  I was glad I was wrong.

[coitus]

by and large being patient in the pocket will yield bigger plays and more points than scrambling.

freeman has athleticism, but he's no bishop/roberson/beasley.
