It was a great moment, but as example, any “moment” in the ‘92-‘93 season was as important. That season solidified our brand in a year the hoops team was on probation. That season helped recruit the team of McNabb’s first years (‘96-‘98). We had a frustrating loss to a good Ohio State team, showed the world we could stand toe to toe with one of the better Miami teams in their storied history, won a great Fiesta Bowl over a very good Colorado team that included some exciting ST play. Wasn’t that the year Graves started the brawl on the WVU sideline? The late win over Texas in the Dome where Graves laid out to catch the game tying 2pt. conversion pass from DWalker. They broke the Dome. KMitchell from nose tackle lite up Pitt QB A VanPelt, knocking him out and allowing us to key on C Martin, back when he was known as the razor.
Other underrated moments for me include the Kickoff Classic dismantling of a well regarded Wisconsin team, shutting down Heisman winner Ron Dayne.
Not sure of its significance, especially since it wound up a loss, but the ‘94-‘95 comeback against Oklahoma that featured “the play” by Bryce Bevel. Always remember that gut check.
Great recount.
Not sure if anyone has mentioned Donovan to Brominski vs VPI, but that's another great "moment"
