1. Holy Buckeye
2. Troy Smith to Robiskie vs. Penn State in '06 -- sealed the Heisman
3. Beanie TD vs. Michigan in '06
4. Troy Smith to Gonzo at Michigan in '05
5. Mo Hall TD at Illinois in '02 to save undefeated season
(Note: I want to include something from the NCG vs. Miami, but no one play sticks out)

Honorable Mention


Braxton Miller TD to Devin Smith vs. Wisconsin in '11
Clarett TD vs. Michigan in '02
Beanie TD at Michigan in '07
Ginn kick return vs. Michigan in '05
Smith to Ginn at Texas in '06
Gonzo TD at Iowa in '06
Pryor game winning TD run at Wisconsin in '08
Pryor to Posey in last year's Sugar Bowl
Ginn kick return vs. Florida
Beanie TD run vs LSU
Are you serious? How about MoC stripping Sean Taylor?

Or any of these...

Note... I missed the "offense" only part.

Reps.

Agreed, and RIP Sean Taylor. I hate the U but that guy was awesome and taken too soon.

I mentioned 4th and 14 in ot of the NCG. No one else apparently thinks that was a huge play. I thought it was considering if it's not completed, the game is over.

Good list. The only reason I added Pittman and Beanie's long td runs in the '06 UM game is because that UM run defense was ranked #1 in the nation and OSU made them look silly.
