11:10 I will never forget that moment as long as i live. I was watching the game with my grandfather and friend. My grandfather was pretty sick at this point and couldn't get around all too well. I remember Jennings catching the ball and my grandfather literally jumping off the couch and we screamed and hugged each other. He has since passed but that moment between us will live on in my memory until i do the same. We were extremely close. He practically raised me. I think about him everyday and am thankful for this moment we had. Sports can be an amazing thing.
I was a student at the time, I ran outside and all my neighbors did the same. What a legendary moment! I'm glad you got to share it with your grandfather.
8:45 You are correct, Michigan State and Michigan are in-state rivals. First played in 1898 and have played almost every year since. They both belong to the Big Ten Conference with MSU joining in the 1950's and Michigan being one of 7 founding members in 1896. It's one of the better in-state rivalries in regards to past games full of epic moments for either side and the stakes of many of the games.
That auburn return for a touchdown vs Alabama was the one of the best plays I’ve ever seen in college football or football period. Remember watching it live, will never forget it
I don't envy the job of kickers(...well, I mean, I do...), their job is incredibly underrated, HAS to be one of the most psychologically demanding positions in all of sport, and even these guys were capable of picking up on the difficulties of kicking in football(perfect timing, perfect kick, no adjustments, no margin for error) that a lot of fans completely take for granted.
I was a PK (place kicker) in high school and my coach said we had 1.2 seconds from the time the ball was snapped until my foot made contact with the ball or it would be blocked. We practiced about 20-30 minutes daily on this. During the off-season my holder and snapper and I would practice on our own about ab hour or two a week. Most kickers take a lot of pride in not having a kick blocked.
That missed field goal was HUGE!! I actually support the team that won (Clemson). If they made that field goal, our season was over. (And he was actually VERY much in range, which makes it even more of a miracle).
As a NC State fan i actually cried over that shit lmao the other game to ever make me do that.. If NC State wins that i think its a total program changer....
For the play that seemed simple where they could have gone for the field goal: the reason why it was so significant is that it was the national championship game. It’s the college football equivalent to winning the Super Bowl. They took the lead with 1 second left to beat the favored team and bring home the championship 🙂
@@troym4026 Don't be a cry baby - there's fouls on every single play, and that isn't even an exaggeration. Every single game can be questioned because "well, if this and that and this didn't happen...", it's what makes football actually interesting compared to something like baseball - get over it and enjoy this shit
Just wanted you guys to know, when Auburn ran back the missed field goal, that was the first and only time that's ever happened in football . It was deemed "The Kick Six" . I still get chills every time I watch it. WAR EAGLE!!
13:45 is super significant. That was the National Championship Game. Hunter Renfrow caught the game-winning pass, he was a walk-on player (he didn't get a football scholarship, he just tried out for the team). So him catching the game-winner was emotional for the team.
15:33 In college sports its called storming the field (or court), not a pitch invasion. It happens all the time when there are big upsets. Usually it results in some sort of small fine for the university, but no one tries to stop it. They are more worried about someone getting hurt in a crush more than anything happening to the players. It's why in some of the videos, when they show the coach right after the game, you will see a couple of police officers guarding them. Its just one of those peculiarities of college sports that make them so awesome. I will never forget the time we had a big upset in basketball and we all stormed the court.
Clemson always "rushes the field" at the end of home games. Win or lose its called "meeting at the paw" where everyone meets at mid field to sing the alma mater. This is the first year in a while we couldnt do it due to COVID
My favorite thing about these college clips is that the stands are so chock full of rabid fans that the t.v. cameras start to shake as a stadium of 80,000 celebrate in unison.
One way to get a little more context by quickly glancing the screen while watching college football/basketball games is to look at the little numbers that are often next to the team names on the scoreboard. These indicate the teams rank in the country. Only the top 25 teams are ranked, so a team has to pretty good to be ranked. Usually the better ranked team is favored and if a unranked or lowly ranked team beats a highly ranked team (1-5 usually) at home, the fans will storm the court/field and its one of my favorite traditions in college sports. You guys should react to a compilation of storming the court/field for college basketball/football
College football is HUGE in America, I spend every Saturday in the fall watching my team, LSU and others. College is bigger then the NFL and older. We don't call them matches, just games. Thank you guys!
Those are some great moments, but there are some incredible historical ones. I would suggest watching one simply called, "The Play." It is from Stanford vs. Cal in 1982 and has the most iconic end to a game in all of college football.
When you asked about “what’s the miracle in missing a game winning field goal with the game 17-17 Clemson game” it’s a miracle for #3 ranked Clemson because if they lose that game they don’t have a chance at the title game. So for that school and program it was a miracle
WDE!! I didn't go to Auburn but they have been my team since I was like 8 and a couple of people in my family did go there. They should hands down go to the Iron Bowl. The best game of the year without a doubt!
I nearly did a flip when Auburn ran that 100 yard play. Me and my grandmother are the only Auburn fans in our family, the rest are Alabama fans (they're HUGE rivals, by the way) so it was a little odd being the only two celebrating. Alabama usually wins when they play each other, so when Auburn does win I let everyone know.
In the beginning regarding the 17-17 around 4:02 time, the kicker should have nailed that 33yd field goal. The miracle was that he missed. There's high school field goal kickers making 40+.
it'd be great if you reacted to "Best NHL Playoff Overtime Goals In The Recent History (HD)", a lot of people agree that NHL playoffs are way more crazier than any other american sports.
Auburn vs. Georgia: Miracle of miracles. (Days later at the Iron Bowl) Auburn vs. Alabama: the "answered prayer" kick six. A 109 yard run, even though College Football rules don't count inside the end zone. Watching that Iron Bowl ending still gives me chills.
@5:27 As a non SEC/Alabama/Auburn fan, this was one of my favorite moments in college football that didn’t involve my favorite team lol. For one it’s #1 vs #4, it comes down to literally the last play of the game, and then that happened. I still remember watching this game live and going crazy that Alabama lost this way, to who they lost to, and that they now, I’m pretty sure we’re out of the SEC Championship game, and also out of going to the National Championship game as well. Which I remember correctly this was the year that Florida State with Jameis Winston beat Auburn the Championship game. But yeah, this was an epic game, and I’m pretty sure the last 5 or 6 games leading up to this game between the 2 had all been good games too, if I am remembering it all right that is.
Another reason some of these plays are so special is because of the magnitude of some of the events. National Championship games, playoff games and huge yearly Rivalry Games.
The Iowa Hawkeyes has a children’s hospital close enough that the kids can overlook the stadium. The Hawkeyes have a tradition between the 3rd and 4th quarter that everyone in the stadium turns and waves at the kids.
For most American football players, their college career will be the glory days and as good as it got. Not many make it to the NFL, but we love em anyway!
To fully appreciate the play where the guy catches the FG kick in the endzone in front of the goalpost and runs it back for a touchdown with :01 second left, know this: It occurred in the biggest rivalry game in college football in the last game of the year between the #1 and #4 ranked teams in America, who are from the same state. Furthermore, the winner of that game had gone on to win the national championship the previous 4 years in a row before this. Let that sink in... The national championship stayed in the same state for four years in a row. Also, the #1 team in this game- Alabama -was trying to make history by being the first team in history to win 3 national championships in a row. They were undefeated, and on their way to doing so when the most bizarre ending of all time struck in the biggest game of the year against the team they hated the most. It's considered the most mind-blowing play in college football history because while there have been many electrifying last second miracle plays before, none had as much at stake in a rivalry as heated and intense as this.
Glad to see you all giving the Mountaineers some love! West Virginia is my favorite, and if you all ever get the chance to come to a game I'm sure you would have an amazing time. I'd be glad to show you around and introduce you to one of the best atmospheres in all of college football.
I was at that Michigan State homecoming in 2011 when they scored on the hail mary vs Wisconsin, and also the Outback Bowl the same season when they beat UGA in 3OT. Both unbelievable moments, but "Trouble With The Snap" still takes the cake.
I remember watching that Alabama/Auburn game (the Iron Bowl) with my wife. The reason they didn't tackle Chris Davis when he was returning it is because Field Goal units have 1 job, to block for the kicker. So they tend to be linemen, tight ends, the holder (usually the punter), and, of course, the kicker. They rarely have a defensive mindset and have to make a tackle.
6:52 that play with 1 second the coach Nick Saban asked to review the play to put the 1 second back on the clock and he instantly regretted it. They had a famous quote after that game “Hey Nick you need a second?” Lol biggest rivalry in college football Auburn vs Alabama
10:28 This play was awesome! Georgia had just scored a touchdown. They was 3 points ahead. We needed a field goal to at least tie. Dobbs throws the hail mary and by the grace of God Jennings caught the ball. It put Tennessee 5-0 up to that point in the season. (Don't ask about the rest of the season.) Later on in OBRs video here they show a clip of the Gators winning against Tennessee. Im not putting a timestamp for that clip. Nobody needs to see that again. These 2 clips sums up being a Vols fan. You will have a heart attack at least once each game.
At 13:54 that was a miracle because it was for the National championship and Clemson won for the first time in 35 years and they beat Alabama which had won 4 of the previous 6 national championships and was favored to win that one too.
About those plays where the team is throwing the ball back and forth multiple times - that’s truly a desperation play you’ll really only see at the end of the game. The reason is that during each “play” or “down” - from the time the ball is snapped until it is whistled down/over, there can only be one forward pass - it must originate from behind the line of scrimmage (where the ball started, placed on the ground) - if the ball isn’t caught, the play is whistled over, and the ball goes back to the previous line of scrimmage. However, players can throw as many “laterals” as they want (or can get away with); if you draw an imaginary line from the player with the ball to the sideline(s), a “lateral” means throwing the ball at or behind that line. If the ball goes forward at all, and a forward pass has already been made or the thrower is past the line of scrimmage, the play is over (and since these type plays happen when time is running out, so is the game - though the game will not end, even if time has run out, while a play is active). What makes this a desperation play only is that when a lateral is thrown, it’s a “live ball”, meaning if it’s dropped, it’s a fumble, and instead of the play being over, either team can pick it up. And the team is moving backward with each toss of the ball. As I said, it’s a desperation play, and almost never works!
15:30 Alum of Clemson University here. Its not a pitch invasion. At Clemson we have a tradition at the end of every home game called "meeting at the paw" in midfield, where everyone meets in the middle of the field at the end of every game, win or lose, to sing our alma mater (sorta like our univeristy song) with the players as a show of our unity, and the atmosphere that everyone at Clemson is almost like one big family. The drumline also goes down and does a postgame concert for fans.
At Clemson we always go on the field after games, win or loss. It's called "The Meeting At The Paw" and it's a tradition, plus one of the only schools allowed by grandfather clause to be able to do it without sanctions or fines.
7:07. The guy that cought the pass just won the Heisman Trophy as best player last night, 3 season's after that catch. First receiver to win in 29 years.
The “easy” one was a miracle because it was to win the National Championship. The Alabama TD on 2nd and 26 was to win the National Title (in overtime) as well
As an Auburn student, with parents that are Auburn grads, the play at 5:00 was one of the most excited moments in a stadium ever for me. I even got my dad a signed painting of a picture of Ricardo Louis catching that.
My uncle and one of my cousins(both Auburn grads) went onto the field after that miracle win against Alabama in 2013. People were stealing hats, clipboards, chunks of grass, you name it.
I had the privilege of being in attendance to watch my school Texas A&M beat LSU in the highest scoring game ever a few years ago in 7 overtime’s, 74-72. Probably greatest miracle game I’ll ever see in person!
In American Football, place kickers often get heckled when they miss under a certain distance. Coaches and fans expect every short kick to go in because that's the only job they usually have on the team
The two Auburn games were back to back games. The first was against the University of Georgia and then the University of Alabama, Auburn's two biggest rivals.
Uggh. As a Michgian fan sitting in the end zone watching this I still can’t believe it. The only good memory I have of that game was watching my daughter in the Band marching toward me in the Block M formation while playing the best college fight song ever written. That meant a lot more to me than the game. Still glad I was there.
@@sheneedsme I feel you bro. I'm not a U-M alum but I am from Ann Arbor and grew up a huge Michigan fan. I credit this game, though, with forcing me to re-evaluate how much emotional energy I am going to invest in a game played by 18-22 year-olds at a university I didn't even attend lol! I remember being so dejected after that game, I went outside and walked around the block several times and ended up sitting at a picnic bench at night for 30 minutes before going home. Still a fan but I just don't let the losses get to me anymore. I still reserve the right to lose my mind if we win though!
You have to understand the context for a lot of these plays. Some are for the National Championship, others are rivalry games, and some are upsets. The context in which the plays happened added to the intensity of the moment and made the play “miraculous.”
WVU Alumni here. When you go to a West Virginia Game go to a Saturday night game (7PM Kick Off) The atmosphere is electric. As for any other College football game; try to find a game where both teams are ranked in the Top 25. The closer the rankings are to each other the better. (#11 vs #12). This will more than likely be a closer game than say #23 vs #3. The later in the year it gets the harder it will be to find tickets because that's when most of the rivalry games are played. First 2 weeks October is the best in my opinion, the weather is perfect, and the teams are in mid season form.
Hey from Castleford, just found your channel today, its great to see UK reactors doing well. Great video as always. There's a few tracks I think you'll enjoy. Tom Macdonald - Famous Tom Macdonald - I hate hip hop Akala - Fire in the booth pt 1 (Akala is a UK rapper/scholar very smart guy) Anything Harry Mack :) Peace.
(American here) I really enjoy college football much more than the pro-NFL. Pros very rarely run some weird play (and pros will usually stop it). College football, the players are great, but still unusual plays, trick plays, come-from-behind last-minute things happen much, much more often. (Also, the attending college fans, are much more invested in their school team than a city is in their local NFL team.)
Oh man, you guys would really love the college football rivalries. Also, all these laterals you're seeing, where players are passing it backward to teammates to keep the ball alive. That is not normal. Seeing a successful gamble play like one that relies on laterals, live, is like watching a historical event.
The big rivalries in college football are ,from West to East, USC VS UCLA OREGON Oregon St. ,Iowa vs Iowa St. Texas vs Oklahoma, Michigan vs Ohio St. Florida vs Georgia. But there are many more. It would take you guys a year of videos every day to get the depths of it all. Btw my step dad is from Brentford. So I have the best of both sides of the pond. Man.U for life!!!
FYI. Size of college crowds? Some are 80,000+, 90,000+ and a few at 100,000+. There are a few videos that profile several stadiums, smallest to largest. Enjoy your reactions!
I was at that Clemson vs Louisville game! Best format experience of my life! It was CRAZY loud I couldn’t talk normally for a week after. I think the decibels got up to 130ish. About 85,000 people just losing their minds. And that play sealed it. It was also a top 5 match up and the 2 best players in the country Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson were going back and fourth in an epic duel. It was just awesome
a little context from the Tennessee vs Georgia game. TN was ahead 28 to 24 with 19 secs left in the game and Georgia throws a bomb and scores a touchdown with 10 secs left and get an unsportsmanlike penalty and makes then set the ball 15 yards back from the normal placement of the kick. then TN has 1 play with 4 secs left and throws up a prayer and 15 comes down with the catch.
Just so you know, of the games you watched of these the biggest rivalries are: Alabama vs Auburn, Michigan vs Michigan State; georgia vs Auburn, Alabama vs Clemson... that’s why some of those moments are so big, they’re big rivalry games
4:21 It was a short field goal. Decent college kickers are normally quite reliable inside a distance of 40 yards. Professional kickers are nearly automatic inside 50. Misses occur, of course. Kicks can be blocked. Weather conditions, mostly wind, can play hell with the ball in flight. The kicker can succumb to nerves. But outright misses should not happen. It's like being awarded a penalty to win on the last kick of a match, and missing the goal altogether. It happens, but it's unusual.
For you people new to football, the last 5 years are the hardest. It is a 40/60 play to try to run it in from just a few yards so a 3 pt field goal to tie the game is safer. So some of the plays shown are actually more spectacular than they seem. Also, sometimes a game can be "the last straw" and break a coach's career with that school. A win can be more than just a win.
This was great just found your channel today, some of the less crazy clips are due to the fact they were in national championship games and in a few cases the semifinals. Praying for a part 2
*learns what a kicker is*
Immediate reaction: "you got one job mate"

11:10 I will never forget that moment as long as i live. I was watching the game with my grandfather and friend. My grandfather was pretty sick at this point and couldn't get around all too well.

This is a great one to watch fan reactions to. The emotional swing from giving up the long bomb right before this to this great catch.

To fully appreciate the play where the guy catches the FG kick in the endzone in front of the goalpost and runs it back for a touchdown with :01 second left, know this:
It occurred in the biggest rivalry game in college football in the last game of the year between the #1 and #4 ranked teams in America, who are from the same state. Furthermore, the winner of that game had gone on to win the national championship the previous 4 years in a row before this. Let that sink in...
The national championship stayed in the same state for four years in a row. Also, the #1 team in this game- Alabama -was trying to make history by being the first team in history to win 3 national championships in a row. They were undefeated, and on their way to doing so when the most bizarre ending of all time struck in the biggest game of the year against the team they hated the most.
It's considered the most mind-blowing play in college football history because while there have been many electrifying last second miracle plays before, none had as much at stake in a rivalry as heated and intense as this.
The heave to Cleve brings tears to my eyes every time. 🥲
This channel is awesome on its own! It’s now even more awesome knowing you guys are WVU fans! GO EERS!
Best 90s NBA dunks would be 🔥 Or best of Michael Jordan 👍
f*ck basketball...nobody cares.Football is king.
Would LOVE to watch a Michael Jordan reaction...
@@davidcooley275 I would love to watch em do more of sports in general. Like a real athlete lol
Old ass boomer
@@davidcooley275 why do people like you exist lmao. i don't get why you just refuse to give other sports a chance.
Glad to see you all giving the Mountaineers some love! West Virginia is my favorite, and if you all ever get the chance to come to a game I'm sure you would have an amazing time. I'd be glad to show you around and introduce you to one of the best atmospheres in all of college football.
I was at that Michigan State homecoming in 2011 when they scored on the hail mary vs Wisconsin, and also the Outback Bowl the same season when they beat UGA in 3OT. Both unbelievable moments, but "Trouble With The Snap" still takes the cake.
I remember watching that Alabama/Auburn game (the Iron Bowl) with my wife. The reason they didn't tackle Chris Davis when he was returning it is because Field Goal units have 1 job, to block for the kicker. So they tend to be linemen, tight ends, the holder (usually the punter), and, of course, the kicker. They rarely have a defensive mindset and have to make a tackle.
I love that they used the music from interstellar lol. Epic!
6:52 that play with 1 second the coach Nick Saban asked to review the play to put the 1 second back on the clock and he instantly regretted it. They had a famous quote after that game “Hey Nick you need a second?” Lol biggest rivalry in college football Auburn vs Alabama
5:28 react to "The Kick Six, Auburn’s Iron Bowl miracle vs. Alabama, deserves a deep rewind"
10:28 This play was awesome! Georgia had just scored a touchdown. They was 3 points ahead. We needed a field goal to at least tie. Dobbs throws the hail mary and by the grace of God Jennings caught the ball. It put Tennessee 5-0 up to that point in the season. (Don't ask about the rest of the season.)
Later on in OBRs video here they show a clip of the Gators winning against Tennessee. Im not putting a timestamp for that clip. Nobody needs to see that again. These 2 clips sums up being a Vols fan. You will have a heart attack at least once each game.
At 13:54 that was a miracle because it was for the National championship and Clemson won for the first time in 35 years and they beat Alabama which had won 4 of the previous 6 national championships and was favored to win that one too.
Would love to see you react to Secret Base's Deep Rewinds of great sports moments. One of them is even the Aguero moment.
About those plays where the team is throwing the ball back and forth multiple times - that’s truly a desperation play you’ll really only see at the end of the game. The reason is that during each “play” or “down” - from the time the ball is snapped until it is whistled down/over, there can only be one forward pass - it must originate from behind the line of scrimmage (where the ball started, placed on the ground) - if the ball isn’t caught, the play is whistled over, and the ball goes back to the previous line of scrimmage. However, players can throw as many “laterals” as they want (or can get away with); if you draw an imaginary line from the player with the ball to the sideline(s), a “lateral” means throwing the ball at or behind that line. If the ball goes forward at all, and a forward pass has already been made or the thrower is past the line of scrimmage, the play is over (and since these type plays happen when time is running out, so is the game - though the game will not end, even if time has run out, while a play is active). What makes this a desperation play only is that when a lateral is thrown, it’s a “live ball”, meaning if it’s dropped, it’s a fumble, and instead of the play being over, either team can pick it up. And the team is moving backward with each toss of the ball.
As I said, it’s a desperation play, and almost never works!
15:30
Alum of Clemson University here. Its not a pitch invasion. At Clemson we have a tradition at the end of every home game called "meeting at the paw" in midfield, where everyone meets in the middle of the field at the end of every game, win or lose, to sing our alma mater (sorta like our univeristy song) with the players as a show of our unity, and the atmosphere that everyone at Clemson is almost like one big family. The drumline also goes down and does a postgame concert for fans.
I know it's 'old timey' now, but the Cal-Stanford game in 1982 is still the craziest ending to a college game. "THE BAND IS ON THE FIELD!!"
At Clemson we always go on the field after games, win or loss. It's called "The Meeting At The Paw" and it's a tradition, plus one of the only schools allowed by grandfather clause to be able to do it without sanctions or fines.
7:07. The guy that cought the pass just won the Heisman Trophy as best player last night, 3 season's after that catch. First receiver to win in 29 years.
As someone who played football in high school and id not get to play my senior year due to covid this type of stuff gives me chills and goosebumps
The “easy” one was a miracle because it was to win the National Championship. The Alabama TD on 2nd and 26 was to win the National Title (in overtime) as well
Love that they're West Virginia Mountaineer fans! Let's go Mountaineers!
As an Auburn student, with parents that are Auburn grads, the play at 5:00 was one of the most excited moments in a stadium ever for me. I even got my dad a signed painting of a picture of Ricardo Louis catching that.
(Unfortunately I didn't get to go to the kick six game... but man... What a game)
Some of these give me chills reminiscing them when they happened live.
My uncle and one of my cousins(both Auburn grads) went onto the field after that miracle win against Alabama in 2013. People were stealing hats, clipboards, chunks of grass, you name it.
I had the privilege of being in attendance to watch my school Texas A&M beat LSU in the highest scoring game ever a few years ago in 7 overtime’s, 74-72. Probably greatest miracle game I’ll ever see in person!
In American Football, place kickers often get heckled when they miss under a certain distance. Coaches and fans expect every short kick to go in because that's the only job they usually have on the team
There's nothing like college football!! Love, love, love college football. I'm a die-hard Alabama fan, Roll Tide!
11:05 the Tennessee vs Georgia need a little extra background. Georgia had just pulled ahead with an amazing play of their own right before this play.
Texas A&M vs LSU 2018 may be the greatest miracle in college football
The two Auburn games were back to back games. The first was against the University of Georgia and then the University of Alabama, Auburn's two biggest rivals.
8:21 best moment of the whole thing. Michigan getting donked
Uggh. As a Michgian fan sitting in the end zone watching this I still can’t believe it. The only good memory I have of that game was watching my daughter in the Band marching toward me in the Block M formation while playing the best college fight song ever written. That meant a lot more to me than the game. Still glad I was there.
@@sheneedsme I feel you bro. I'm not a U-M alum but I am from Ann Arbor and grew up a huge Michigan fan. I credit this game, though, with forcing me to re-evaluate how much emotional energy I am going to invest in a game played by 18-22 year-olds at a university I didn't even attend lol! I remember being so dejected after that game, I went outside and walked around the block several times and ended up sitting at a picnic bench at night for 30 minutes before going home. Still a fan but I just don't let the losses get to me anymore. I still reserve the right to lose my mind if we win though!
Me (Auburn fan) : hey man how are you?
My friend (Georgia fan) : It doesn’t even hurt anymore...
You have to understand the context for a lot of these plays. Some are for the National Championship, others are rivalry games, and some are upsets. The context in which the plays happened added to the intensity of the moment and made the play “miraculous.”
WVU Alumni here. When you go to a West Virginia Game go to a Saturday night game (7PM Kick Off) The atmosphere is electric. As for any other College football game; try to find a game where both teams are ranked in the Top 25. The closer the rankings are to each other the better. (#11 vs #12). This will more than likely be a closer game than say #23 vs #3. The later in the year it gets the harder it will be to find tickets because that's when most of the rivalry games are played. First 2 weeks October is the best in my opinion, the weather is perfect, and the teams are in mid season form.
Hey from Castleford, just found your channel today, its great to see UK reactors doing well.
Great video as always. There's a few tracks I think you'll enjoy.
Tom Macdonald - Famous
Tom Macdonald - I hate hip hop
Akala - Fire in the booth pt 1 (Akala is a UK rapper/scholar very smart guy)
Anything Harry Mack :)
Peace.
(American here) I really enjoy college football much more than the pro-NFL. Pros very rarely run some weird play (and pros will usually stop it). College football, the players are great, but still unusual plays, trick plays, come-from-behind last-minute things happen much, much more often.
(Also, the attending college fans, are much more invested in their school team than a city is in their local NFL team.)
Oh man, you guys would really love the college football rivalries. Also, all these laterals you're seeing, where players are passing it backward to teammates to keep the ball alive. That is not normal. Seeing a successful gamble play like one that relies on laterals, live, is like watching a historical event.
Field goals are never automatic or guaranteed.
6:36 Both of these Auburn games (against Georgia and Alabama) happened in the same season.
The big rivalries in college football are ,from West to East, USC VS UCLA OREGON Oregon St. ,Iowa vs Iowa St. Texas vs Oklahoma, Michigan vs Ohio St. Florida vs Georgia. But there are many more. It would take you guys a year of videos every day to get the depths of it all. Btw my step dad is from Brentford. So I have the best of both sides of the pond. Man.U for life!!!
FYI. Size of college crowds? Some are 80,000+, 90,000+ and a few at 100,000+. There are a few videos that profile several stadiums, smallest to largest. Enjoy your reactions!
I was at that Clemson vs Louisville game! Best format experience of my life! It was CRAZY loud I couldn’t talk normally for a week after. I think the decibels got up to 130ish. About 85,000 people just losing their minds. And that play sealed it. It was also a top 5 match up and the 2 best players in the country Deshaun Watson and Lamar Jackson were going back and fourth in an epic duel. It was just awesome
16:56 as an Iowa fan, this moment is pure pain. It would have been our first big ten championship in 13 years, we are going on 18 years now.
I was completely stunned when this happened. Drove home in silence. That and the Rose Bowl completely marred the season for me.
Now imagine being a georgia fan.
@@chasejackson7248 yeah three NY6 wins in the last 4 years, how awful.
a little context from the Tennessee vs Georgia game. TN was ahead 28 to 24 with 19 secs left in the game and Georgia throws a bomb and scores a touchdown with 10 secs left and get an unsportsmanlike penalty and makes then set the ball 15 yards back from the normal placement of the kick. then TN has 1 play with 4 secs left and throws up a prayer and 15 comes down with the catch.
Hey guys. Pete from the States. Still fighting Cancer, but loving these!!! Keep in touch Dave!!
Just so you know, of the games you watched of these the biggest rivalries are: Alabama vs Auburn, Michigan vs Michigan State; georgia vs Auburn, Alabama vs Clemson... that’s why some of those moments are so big, they’re big rivalry games
"Miracle at Michigan" between Colorado and Michigan.
The ending to that game was glorious if you're a CU fan.
4:21
It was a short field goal. Decent college kickers are normally quite reliable inside a distance of 40 yards. Professional kickers are nearly automatic inside 50.
Misses occur, of course. Kicks can be blocked. Weather conditions, mostly wind, can play hell with the ball in flight. The kicker can succumb to nerves. But outright misses should not happen. It's like being awarded a penalty to win on the last kick of a match, and missing the goal altogether. It happens, but it's unusual.
Yeah Kyle bambard is so shit too bad that could've been a program changing win for NC State
The plays that start at 4:40 and 5:25 were actually in back-to-back games. That season was insane.
For you people new to football, the last 5 years are the hardest. It is a 40/60 play to try to run it in from just a few yards so a 3 pt field goal to tie the game is safer. So some of the plays shown are actually more spectacular than they seem.
Also, sometimes a game can be "the last straw" and break a coach's career with that school. A win can be more than just a win.
Hunter Renfrow just makes it look easy. We love him in Raider Nation.
We’d be happy to have you guys at WVU. There’s nothing like singing Country Roads after a win
Gotta do the part 2 😁
The Inception music makes these miracles seem like dreams
One fan's miracle is another fan's heartbreak
Love seeing all the Michigan state highlights. We aren't the best football program but dammit we certainly get lucky.
This was great just found your channel today, some of the less crazy clips are due to the fact they were in national championship games and in a few cases the semifinals. Praying for a part 2
