I've mentioned this before... but, if there was EVER a worse play, for ANY team, in ANY sport, at ANY level than this one..... I never heard of it: 2001 Big 12 Title Game: #3 ranked Texas vs unranked Colorado My bad #4
With just under four minutes left in the first half, Simms needs to lead a scoring drive to quiet the fans and give Texas a shot of momentum going into halftime. Instead, on Texas third play, he is intercepted again, this time by CU safety Medford Moorer. An awful play becomes unfathomable as Moorer returns the pick 64 yards for a touchdown. This may be the most disastrous snap in UT history, as on the same play Cedric Benson and All-American tackle Mike Williams knock each other out of the game when the collide trying to tackle Moorer, while Simms can only watch in horror as Moorer streaks down the sideline into the end zone for a 29-10 CU lead to destroy forever any goodwill Simms had built up over the year. The pro-UT crowd is ready to tear Texas Stadium to the ground, foaming at the mouth for Applewhite to come in. Instead, Mack Brown unbelievably continues to stick with Simms, who enters the field on Texas' next possession to a deafening chorus of boos. www.burntorangenation.com/2005/11/28/153820/61The write-up about this is lengthy.... but, if YOU are a college football fan, it's worth taking 10 minutes of quiet time to read through the whole thing. It's the ONLY way you can truly understand just HOW BAD this play was. In all of my life, watching sports at many levels... I NEVER saw anything that comes close to matching the sheer, utter, awfulness of this play. Here is the video: At the 18:25 mark, the play starts..... At the 18:40 mark, you can see the collision that took out Cedric Benson and Mike Williams... our two BEST players. duckduckgo.com/?q=2001+Big+12+title+game&iax=videos&ia=videos&iai=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DU4emo_ct02IWe lost our two BEST players, on a Pick 6 , in a game where a win would have put us in a National Championship game... What could POSSIBLY be worse? |
