Yeah, great fun rewatching those moments.

I think a case could be made that Ponds was our single most important player during these last two years.

Theres a ~30 min interview of him with Cooper from a few days ago that was great. They were talking about their favorite / biggest plays of the season. Cooper ripped Ponds a little bit on the Oregon pick 6, because apparently Ponds wasnt supposed to be in position to pick that but improvised lol

Good stuff.

I have a vague recollection that Ponds said that OR play had been scouted and the pick opportunity had been pointed out, and that he just took the opportunity the coaches said might be there.

There is a fan video from the Peach bowl that really captures the noise explosion. I need to find it again

I remember very much enjoying each of those plays. 😎 Good list.

Somehow that number one, Ponds pick, was when I felt, 'we really are going to win this whole thing'. Or at least the feeling ramped way up.

For me Sarratt at Iowa is in the top 10. Maybe bumping Asbury, since at the time I already felt that game was over, even though it wasnt of course and that was a big play. But Cig after the Iowa game was asked what he would remember about the game, said "I'll remember Sarratt, running toward the endzone, that's what I'll remember."

That game, even more than Oregon, was for me when the ghosts of not winning the tough games on the road went away.
