Westy doesn't catch that ball, we probably don't make the Gator Bowl and get a chance to see the 99 yarder.

 
Never mind?

We can't complain about the SEC patting themselves on the back, then vote one pass over the other simply because it was an SEC team can we? Isn't that kind of like giving the dog a bone? I don't know. Maybe I'm just not blown away by the SEC. They're good, but not that good. We've been better. I can't see them being SEC as the only justification to why one was greater than the other is all I'm saying. I'm ready to put this SEC hype fest in the trash. We beat Georgia. They are SEC. They lost.

Kellog/Westerkamp makes me tear up. TA/QE makes me laugh... not like out loud but like a loud smile.

I think a lot of it has to do with the NW game overall. Slow start, then the team turned it on and they kept it on for most of the rest of the season. Winning in the last :04 makes it feel a lot different then just giving us enough to hold on in the bowl game.

 
I went with Kellogg/Westerkamp. I don't even want to know what Husker nation would have been like following that loss - Pelini really, really needed a win in that game.

Obviously, the Armstrong/Enunwa pass will go down in college football history and Husker history, too. But, the Hail Mary meant a lot, and there was still a quarter and some change left to play in the Gator Bowl, so anything could've happened.

As a quick side note, Bell's catch was impressive Landlord, if that's why you brought his name up. But, we're seeing ridiculous one-handed grabs on Sportscenter just about every week. It's not every week you see a Hail Mary, and the Enunwa pass is the first of it's kind.

 
Westerkamp was far more significant. Like LaVonte's strip of Braxton in '11, or Taylor's leading that ridiculous comeback at NW last year, it makes me cringe up thinking where the season-and program for that matter-goes without that play. I know we can say that the guys would still continue to be resiliant and such, but these moments just felt like such a tipping point, and with them came such shortlived relief that I just dont know.

 
I go with the Armstrong/Enunwa pass because a. it was planned and b. It hold good things for our team's future. The Kellogg/Westerkamp was luck. If you repeated both plays how often do you think either one would succeed? I'd give the edge to the Armstrong to Enunwa.

Regardless thanks to all who play.

Kellogg/Westerkamp Hail-Mary saved Bo's job - period. Can you imagine if we lost to NW after Minn, after UCLA? Odds are, we would have lost to Mich in the big house - the momentum of that NW win got us over the hump for Mich. That NW player's tip - changed the alinement of the stars in so many ways. There is a good chance we would have ended up 6-6 or 5-7 wtout the HM completion. Where would NU football be then??

Hiring Mack Brown, duh.

 
I gotta go with the longest possible play from scrimmage in college football history.

Agree about the Northwestern stakes, but the Enunwa bomb was so much more skill than luck, and the ballsy call that earns serious props from football watchers (a Hail Mary was the only possible choice in the NW game).

You almost forget to watch this part, but watch the Husker offensive line on that play. There's gonna be a huge line surge from Georgia, determined to get the safety they thought they deserved, and Tommy Armstrong actually has the time to step back, wait for Enunwa to get 40 yards downfield, then plant and throw without a defender anywhere near his face.

Epic call, epic throw, epic catch and run, but the Husker OL dug down and delivered phenomenal protection when it mattered most.

 
I voted the Kellogg for a few reasons. One, it had that local hero thing going for it like the Henery 57 yd kick and the Davison catch. Two, I always look at things in the big picture, and if we had lost that game vs. NW, I think we'd be shopping for a head coach right now in a market where there are none

 
I have to say the Northwestern game as others have said it was the final moment in the game. The Georgia play is more fun to watch in my opinion, but had the Northwestern catch not occured, we would not have played in the bowl game against Georgia.

 
using a lot of people's logic, had it been an option, abdullah's reception on fourth and long in the nw game would be the best catch. because without it, the hail mary and gatorbowl catch would be impossibilities.
