I go back to 1991 as far as games I personally attended, so my list is limited to that. I’m sure I’m messing several.

In no particular order…..

McGahee screen play against FSU.

Shockey TD catch against FSU.

Hester kickoff return TD against UF.

Hester punt return to TD to take the lead against L’ville.

Barrow hit on Vanover

Any of the Wide Right/Lefts played at the OB.

Bandy pick against ND. An honorable mention from that game - NDs first or second possession, can’t remember which, a ball got tipped and the crowd went nuts as the ball was on the air. If it had been picked Hard Rock might have come down.

1989 home game at the OB- bs ND the year after we got robbed on the Cleveland Gary “fumble” in south bend

Randall thrill Hill- 3rd and former (43 yds) and he got all of it and more! I was there the place exploded- the score of that game was in direct opposition of how much we dominated- game was never in doubt
 
Games I attttended:

Cotton Bowl vs Texas had a lot of memorable plays.
Robert Bailey hit on Kickoff
Randal Hill TD ending up in the tunnel doing the 6 guns.

Kenny Calhoun deflection for first Title

Dorsey to Shockey was uuuge, as well as McGagee screen as mentioned.

High C "99 yards"

Edge blowing up UCLA for 299.

John Vilma hit on that TE in the Rose Bowl. Andre game breaker TD.

So many to name.
 
ND 3rd and 43 for me.

On a related note which will demonstrate how old I am, we started the Cotton Bowl game with a 1st and 40 because we got 2 personal foul penalties before the offense even snapped the ball. Converted that **** too. The air was FULL of laundry in that game. I think we gave up like 210-220 yards in penalties, most of them personal fouls, and Texas STILL only managed 3 points.

As good as the game was, there was a moment where Sebastian (John Routh then) acted like he was going to brand BEVO with a fake branding iron covered in aluminum foil for visibility. Given the history of how BEVO got his name (A&M branded 13-0 on him after a win over Tx) then clearly Texas wouldn't take that lying down and they didn't so ... his handlers snapped the rope and he jumped up ready for business. Never seen Sebastian run that fast. Hilarious.
