Worst Offensive play - Getting the ball in Texas territory only to have Zac chuck it to the endzone for an INT the next play.

 
Worst defensive play vs MU could be that long hail-maryish pass that they completed towards the end of the first half. I think they put some points up on the board after that. (Not that it mattered :) )

Prince stumbled and fell on that play.

 
Fun list. You have a better memory than I. I'd change:

Worst D play against VTech: The O'Hanlon busted coverage to set up the winning TD.

OU game: Henery actually had 2 kicks. One miss.

 
I've got a couple changes for you.

FAU Game / Best Offensive Play: Helu's long touchdown run. I find it extremely impressive in that he started left, cut back right, hit some offensive linemen, and then burst up the field for a 40+ yard run. Cody's was nice, but it came against a dejected FAU defense.

ISU Game / Worst Defensive Play: The deep touchdown pass our secondary gave up that gave ISU the 2 point lead. Without that, we win.
