Great thread! That was before my time but the best no-quit effort I ever witnessed was vs VT in '98. Late in the game, we score to go up 22-21 & elect to go for 2. McNabb throws a terrible INT directly to a Hokie DB in the flat who catches it in stride & now has clear-path sprint to the end zone & the lead. Instead of hanging his head, McNabb sprints the length of the field to catch him at the 8 yd line. It was a surreal moment in the Dome watching this foot race, seemingly in slow-motion, between 2 men with the game on the line...one striving for glory and the other determined to redeem himself. I'll never forget the "ebb & flow" of the crowd noise, from elation/excitement following the TD & going for 2, to the devastated groan after the interception, to the gradually-building roar as we watched the pure athleticism & determination of McNabb's all-out 85 yard come-from-behind sprint. Yes, the VT DB fumbled the ball (clearly intentionally) forward into the endzone where a teammate recovered to take the 23-22 lead, but I'll never forget that scene and it's indelible message of accountability & correcting your mistakes.
