Vilma on that cornfed Nebraska TE in the Rose Bowl for honorable mention.

 

[Baba Yaga]

Placeholder for when I find Colin McCarthy baptizing hit against UNC.

 

[HOLISTIC CANE]

CTE was activated after those hits ! Can’t tell me those brains weren’t raddled after those viscous hits lol.

 

[CANEMC]

Just gonna sit this here.

 

[TheU1984]

Futch and JV, although great hits, don’t match the theme.

Good call on the AR82 one though.

Watching that hit in person was amazing. You could see it coming from a mile away.

I can't remember who we were playing (GT? Colorado?), but it was at the Orange Bowl sometime after 2003. One of our players intercepted a pass and started returning it to the end zone, the QB gave chase and one of our other defensive players just absolutely destroyed him on a block. Under the rules at the time, it was a legal block, but the refs flew a flag anyway (likely b/c of how brutal it looked and that it was their QB).

I deserve a 3 month ban for omitting that one. There was no standing 8 count needed for that one, LOL!

QB was Joel Klatt which is why he still has nothing good to say about us as a talking head on Fox Sports.

He had two in that game, the other one he met the tailback head on and drove him backwards. It was like watching a Mack truck hit a station wagon head on.

Thanks!

And Ha! I didn't realize it was Joel Klatt. Not a fan of him regardless of his takes on Miami, but now that part makes even more sense.

 

[Shogungts]

Do we have to limit it to while they were at Miami?

 

[KANE]

Barrow vs. Vanover is still one of best hits I’ve ever seen. IIRC the year before… M. Jones got one of our smaller WRs going across the middle like that. Wham!

This is the hit I would probably be voting for. Big game, big hit, big turnover. Love it.

If you care about the moment/context, my all-time favorite UM hit might be the hit put on the Texas return man on the opening kickoff of the 1991 Cotton Bowl. Dude got laid out and left the field. Then we went on to completely and utterly destroy Texas for another 59:45. Over 200 yards in penalties. Zero fvcks given. Just wild.

Also, the very underrated combo of Sharpton+Phillips in our last win against Clem$on is a personal favorite (but would be hyper-flagged today):
