Top 100 moments in college football
ESPN names Top 100 moments in that have defined college football. Define "defined" college football? Are the top five overrated?
Former Razorback Ken Hatfield’s famous punt return has been ranked No. 71 on Espn.com writer Ivan Maisel’s Top 100 Iconic Moments of College Football.
Hatfield’s punt return was an 81-yarder that propelled the Razorbacks to a 14-13 win over Texas, in Austin. The game, in 1963, was also part of Arkansas’ 1964 National Championship season.
Not a bad choice for the 71st pick out of 100 but are the top five slots the most defining moments in college football? Of course they're memorable but do they define what college football has become today?
I agree somewhat with the top four. You can mix and match those and they're all very memoriable but they're almost too good. Will there ever be a moment in college football that will surpass those clips or will we look at plays in today's football as nowhere close to that magnitude?
For instance. The No. 5 pick by ESPN is something I could never consider as a top five play of all time in college football: Race For Glory - Vince Young's sprint to the pylon shoots Texas past USC. (Jan. 4, 2006)
Come on. Are you serious? Vince Young's spring to a pylon is the fifth most defining moment in college history? You've got to be kidding me. After all the years of impressive plays that one makes the top of the list. Not even close.
What about the seven-overtime game against Arkansas and Kentucky in 2003? Don't you think that one was a little more thrilling? Even if you aren't a Razorback fan you've heard of long, edge of your seat, seven-overtime matchup that had ESPN talking about it for days.
