This season's signature moment

[lskul60]

Don't think we've had it yet.

Need something BIG, like the ones we had in 1987.

-Rob Moore first play from scrimmage against PSU
-Michael Owens 2 point conversion to get us to 11-0 against WVU
-Pat Kelly's over the shoulder game winning TD against WVU - I still LOVE how the ref was jumping up and down as he signaled Touchdown on that play.

 

[NKR1978]

Agreed. Haven't had anything quite like Clemson or Virginia Tech.

We've become consistently good. Saturday is the time for great.

this post just sent me down a youtube rabbit hole of awesomeness. So many great memories.

I look forward to more great memories. Lets start on Saturday.

Riley is taking the opening kickoff to the house on a reverse.

ahhhhhhh
you mean like this (0:15 mark)?

 

[LeMoyneCuse]

In terms of iconic, not yet. In terms of critically important? Hard to top DeVito's bomb to Johnson.

To date? Possibly Tommy Devito throwing that toss to Pierce for the game winning TD, helping salvage a season that looked on the brink of collapsing.

Or maybe [on the negative side] that illegal man downfield call against Clemson, that essentially cost us a win against the #2 team in the country at their place.

If we're going to have a truly GREAT season, then I agree that the signature moment might come this week. Here's hoping!

Armstrong’s interception against State was one of the loudest Dome moments this year as well.

Yep. That's the play that cemented me as a lifelong, diehard Orange fan. I remember begging my dad to come outside and play football with me. He said, "How about you just watch this with me until halftime. I've been waiting all week to see this game. If they knock of Florida, they're for real." Glad I gave it a shot.
Thanks dad.

gotta love the blocking on that reverse

 

[DoubleDee]

Oh, you mean like Szmyt’s 57 yarder to beat ND?

 

[Briancuse]

Devitos bomb to tie the UNC game was pretty sig. Lose that game and who knows where we are sitting right now.

Not on the level of some of those old ones listed and not in as dire of circumstances as DeVito against UNC, but Dungey’s 80+ yarder to Johnson to put us up 10-7 on NC State was enormous and awfully fun.

It felt like it was imperative that we got off to a good start in that game. After having to settle for 3 the opening drive and then quickly giving up a potentially deflating easy TD to NC State, to answer back like that was amazing. From that play on, that might be the best 10 minute stretch of SU football since 1998 Miami game. That play started a buzzsaw, and without it we probably don’t keep up in that shootout.

Also, that ball traveled a long way in the air and hit Johnson right in the stride. Perfect throw, exciting play, and kicked off an awfully fun night at the Dome. A lot of people realized it was fun again that night IMO.

I wonder how different my life would be if that Florida player took a slightly better angle and tackled Dar Dar at the 50.

 

[OrlandoCuse]

Damn, Kirby Dar Dar was fast. Still one of my all time favorite players

 

[blue&orange]

Peak was Dungey attempting a 50 yard pass from his own 10 with little time remaining til halftime vs. Louisville, up 30 points. Not only are we beating average to weak teams, we now have the ability to dominate in certain situations, not to mention we have a shot against anyone in the nation these days. Corner turned...and it prompted the smirk caught on TV between Edinger and Dino.

Sig moment will be when HCDB accepts the Peach Bowl trophy after shutting out WVU and announces he's signed a lifetime contract extension

DeVito TD pass to save the Orange v. NC.

The start of the Pasqualoni era. Note that Florida had just defeated Alabama 35-0 the week prior.
