Best individual performance by an opponent?

[fraggle]

Hands down it is this performance by a Pitt Panther...

1986 Pitt Game

I cannot think of any other individual dominating like this RB plus the comments by our players after the game indicated how powerful this RB was.

Anyone think of any other that might match this performance?

Dalvin cook? His performances vs Miami were always tough

 

[htownkidd]

Every QB in the last 10 years who made their first appearance against us.

 

[blushrts]

I know The Boz gets a lot of hate, but didn't he have over 20 tackles in the 1986 game?

 

[Ksoze8]

I would say Dalvin Cook too. That guy would put “there may be a chance” to rest with some heartbreaking runs.

Greg Jones '02
Penn St for not hiring away Golden

 

[Rellyrell]

Jonathan Taylor did a number on us in both bowl games. Combined for 335 on just 53 carries. He and D Cook made it their mission to make our lives miserable on the ground.

I remember Calvin Johnson being a man amongst boys when we played them.

Bruh, the QB had zero accuracy, no offensive weapons outside of CJ, and all that guy did was throw the ball up and CJ ALWAYS came down w/ it, no matter how many guys were around him.

The Trail of Tears from Duke's visitor locker room to the field.

Cook, Eric Ebron, Sam Howell in recent seasons

 

[DTP]

Old Man Wienke lit up a really good UM defense for like 500 yards in 2000.

Jalen Ramsey played probably the best game I've ever seen from an opposing defender in 2016.

You made me watch the **** game again.
Two things:
1. JJ onside kicking up 27-3 with 3 minutes to go in the 3rd, lol.
2. Vinnie. What a beautiful passer when he stepped into a throw. .But when he got lazy and threw off his back foot....

Back to the OP's question.
Donovan McNabb, '97 & '98.

 

[Cookie917]

whoever was that ******* TE for UVA in the final OB Game

You mean in 2014? He had a great game that day for sure. He wasn’t there in 2016 though and Rashawn Scott tore him up in 2015

McNabb is probably the winner. DeMarcus Walker destroyed us a few years ago. He even capped it off by blocking the xp at the end to seal victory.

 

[Canegetright]

2019 FIU FG kicker. Good thing he's on our side now. Oh, and McNabb tore us a new *hole that one year.

1996: Warrick Dunn 22 carries, 163 yards, 1 TD.



FSU won in the OB for the first time in forever that day.

 

[MainLineCane]

Recently ....it's gotta be Dalvin Cook FSU hands down as previously said.........we could never stop him.

2014 7 for 92yds + 2 catches for 18yds 2TDS
2015 22 for 222yds....+..3 catches for 57yds 2TDs
2016 27 for 150yds + 1 catch for 59yds 0
-----------------------------
for an average of 8.28 yards per carry...........ADD in the catches Cook averaged 9.64 per touch

I've NEVER been so glad to see an individual opponent move on.

Dalvin is the man that NO Cane fan EVER wants to see again
