In the immortal words of legendary broadcaster Chris Berman...when defending a hail mary attempt...."KNOCK IT DOWN!" When the defense tries to make a play on the ball instead of just batting it to the ground, that's what causes those tipped balls that get caught by another player.
5:09 Defensive teams will usually go into a "prevent defense" and drop like 5 players back. There's also all the receivers running to the end zone too so the defense has to account for all of them. If the offense only has time for one play left and they are way back in their own side of the field they might toss it around but only if their QB can't throw it that far otherwise it's always a Hail Mary to the end zone. Good morning, y'all! Hope y'all have a great day
2:47 is I’d say the most famous Hail Mary of all, and the biggest claim to fame for QB Doug Flutie. He’s otherwise known for being way too short to be an NFL quarterback, yet still managed to make it in the NFL anyway for many years, even making a Pro Bowl. And his 3rd claim to fame was kicking the first drop-kick field goal in the NFL in decades, even though he wasn’t a kicker. (Drop kick being an old obsolete, but still legal, method of kicking a field goal.)
The most memorable one for me is the one at 2:50 when Doug Flutie of Boston College threw the 60+ yeard touchdown to his college roommate on Thanksgiving Day. The entire nation was waching the game because it was a holiday and Flutie's miraculous pass secured him as that year's Heisman Torphy winner just a few days before the votes for the Heisman were cast. At the time, Boston College's opponent The University of Miami was a perenial powerhouse always playing for the national championship while BC was a consistent winner but not at Miami's level. Except for Flutie's senior year (1984).
It just seems so unusual that even though he won the Heisman, he wasn't given a decent chance in the NFL to start. He did eventually become a legend in the CFL though.
NFL Throwback did a great highlight reel ruclips.net/video/dddpWhUdUAA/видео.html&ab_channel=NFLThrowback - Hester changed the game. Everyone watched special teams while he was on the field. His speed, elusiveness and field sense were incredible
When expecting a Hail Mary pass, some defenses will drop up to 8 or 9 defenders back. But with multiple receivers creating havoc in spacing, anything can happen.
It's not a "Hail Mary" per se, but the final play of California vs Stanford in 1982 is easily the most astonishing to decide a college football game. Not often that a trombonist takes the hardest hit on a football play.
We’ve got Cal vs Stanford Highlights on our list! We’ve seen quite a few mention “The Play”. We’ve no idea what to expect, so looking forward to that one
Look up the ending to the App State vs. Troy game from this past season (2022). It was more recent than the video reacted to. What was amazing about the final play was they allegedly practice it (according to the coach's post-game interview). It was basically scripted. The Hail Mary was intentionally throw short of the end zone and tipped back toward the field of play, where it was caught and run in with a blocker set up to clear a path.
5:05 you’re right. Sometimes, defenses will swap out their normal defenders and put in a back line of taller players to defend the Hail Mary. Since this is a highlight video, it doesn’t seem like it, but Hail Mary’s are only successful like 10% of the time so it’s not THAT big of a worry. And if you’re more than 50-60 yards away from the end zone, lots of college QBs can’t even make that long of a throw, so that’s when you’d resort to lateraling the ball back and forth rugby style.
I did notice that at least a couple of these were not literally last play of the game so for those it would explain why the defense didn't seem in all out prevent Hail Mary mode
@@elijahfoster2 everywhere I look at, 10% is the figure I get for the NFL. I thought it was high too, but that’s what I’m seeing. Maybe it’s different between college and professional though.
I still get chills watching the “prayer in Jordan-Hare” @ 5:51 Fun fact - one of the players that tipped the ball transferred to Auburn and went on to be a starter as a linebacker. Great reactions!
They do "bulk up" the "backline" in those situations. They'll usually take Linebackers off of the field and replace them with Defensive Backs and play a Dime, Quarter or Prevent defense. If you had no one on the line as a defense the QB and the entire O-Line could run up the middle or take all day to set up a pass.
It got dubbed the “Hail Mary pass” because the Dallas Cowboys QB Roger Staubach famously threw it to Drew Pearson and said the Hail Mary prayer as he sent it because all he could do was pray it hit a target in blue and silver…and it did. 💯 From that moment on it was called a Hail Mary pass when you’re down to the last seconds and send it flying on a prayer to the end zone 🏈
The other team is defending against the long pass, but you also want some linemen to put some pressure on the QB as well so they don't just have all the time in the world to throw it.
Hail Mary (In Football terms): Throw the ball as far as you can... and pray. You see this work more in college than you do in the pros. The reason is that some of these are a result of bad technique by the defensive player. They are coached to just knock the ball down, don't try to catch it, don't worry about tackling the receiver, just knock the ball down and let the game end. Now, some of these are just amazing plays, and yes, my favorite was in there. One of the old grainy videos had Boston College with Doug Flutie throwing one up 2:46 . Flutie has a sizable cult like following afterward. He was a 5ft 10 inch QB who had a decent career in the Canadian Football League and the NFL. (he was also the last player to record a scuessful drop kick in the NFL... a real obsucre way to score) Edit : Actually, he is a Hall of Famer in the CFL, like almost the Tom Brady of Canada level career, my bad!
@4:00 the crazy thing about the TN Hail Mary was that Georgia scored on their own basically Hail Mary with 10 seconds left. TN returned the kickoff and penalty move is a little closer. Then we hit the Hail Mary.
You guys have to react to Sean Taylor he was arguably one of the greatest hardest hitting safety in football of all time, sadly his career ended early because of his passing but I think u guys would really like his highlights
keep up the reactions!! when it gets closer to the beginning of march madness, you should do a “British guys react to best march madness game winners/buzzer beaters” or something like that
You guys absolutely have the watch the "kick 6" play between Auburn and Alabama. Ive noticed it hasn't been on any of these videos. One of the most craziest plays in NCAA history.
I was at the last one, Michigan State vs Wisconsin in 2011. Two of the best teams in the country, with two future NFL quarterbacks (Kirk Cousins and Russell Wilson). Our seats were in the endzone where the ball ended up getting caught. They reviewed it for about 10 minutes in real time and you could hear a pin drop. After they announced that the receiver crossed the plane the place erupted louder than I've ever heard a stadium before. I'd say about half the stadium was full on sobbing including myself in shock, disbelief and finally elation. It was a magical moment given to us by the football gods
The Kentucky/LSU game at the 1:20 mark still hurts. I jumped the wall & was on the field with my friend & was ready to celebrate the upset. It still hurts 21 years later.
the Hail Mary has evolved, there has always been the pack of receivers that jump for the ball in the end zone... but now, they have a player or two that separates from the group and waits for the tip. So, in many cases the ball is deliberately tipped toward these guys (not always a fluke to have such long deflections). Cheers
Roger Staubach, QB for Dallss Cowboys in the 70's was the one that coined that phrase. He said he would throw a pass down the field & say his Hail Mary's.
4:07 I was at this game, my home stadium. ECU Pirates 🏴☠️ Our famous Off coordinator Lincoln Riley (now head coach at USC) screwed up by not properly running out the clock when we had the ball. Big Conf loss to UCF ouch 😢
Some context for the Iowa highlight, there was a penalty on the previous play and the quarterback didn't know it. He thought they had stopped the clock and that he had time for more then 1 play. Also the receiver who caught the pass, Warren Holloway, this was his last game as a senior and that was the only Touchdown of his career.
I would recommend that you react to the 2010 Iron Bowl (Auburn vs Alabama) seems like a dull game at first but the second half is electric. It includes that years Heisman Winner (best overall player)
Will NEVER forget that catch by Juan Jennings at Georgia. Was listening to the radio broadcast on the Vol Network while we were fishing and we almost flipped the damn boat. For real. Way out in the middle of a huge lake. Would have sucked
There is a strategy to it . The Off will have one/two primary recievers and the others guarding in front & behind waiting for a tip ball to come their way . Defensive is taught to knock the ball down and not tip it up .
You guys channel are growing fast. Seemed like yesterday you guys were at 2k subscribers, now you're already at 4k+. I think by the end of the year you guys will probably reach 50k subscribers.
Have yall seen the original hail Mary? If not, it was an old game,.... the Dallas cowboys last chance to win the game. Quarter back called it the hail mary ✭✭✭
It got lots of great ones. Got the Doug Flutie one at 2:50. That's a legendary one. I always remember a Kordell stewart one for Colorado if i'm not mistaken. I do notice lots of these videos have a massive bias for clear 1080p videos so miss tons of legendary plays. It's like a compliation of great dribbling goals in the England and you don't have Ryan Giggs' goal cause you're a youngster that can't handle 480p lol. They always do that with greatest NBA plays videos that mysteriously have no clips before 2005 lol. but this had lots of the well known ones. Im sure it missed some but i'm also no college football encyclopedia either.
On almost all of these last second plays, the defense only has 3 guys putting pressure on the quarterback. They have to put pressure on him or he can just sit back there and wait for someone to come open. Then the Defense will drop 8 men in coverage. 2 or 3 might be a little short of the end zone to protect against a shorter throw, and then the rest will be at the goal line defending any throw into the endzone. These are VERY rare plays. When watched in compilation form it looks more common than it actually is.
I was at the game with the last clip. It took them about 5 minutes to review it and decide that yes, he got the ball across the goal line (barely). Didn't help that the roar of the crowd when he caught the ball was loud enough to start shaking the goal-line camera.
@@DNReacts I was indeed (though Wisconsin got the better of us in a rematch in the conference title game that year). Our seats were at the top of the stands, right below the press box, so while the officials were reviewing it, we were all trying to hear what the TV announcers were saying about it. Another funny thing about it: that was Wisconsin's first loss of the season. The next week, they played at Ohio State ... and that clip was *also* in the video. Only two games they lost in the regular season that year.
"Hail Mary" plays are designed so that there are several receivers in the area where the pass will be thrown. There are typically at least 2 players in the immediate area of the pass and 1 player trailing back a few yards. The idea is for one of the 2 primary receivers to either catch the ball or, if unable to make the catch, tip the ball towards the trailing receiver so there is still a chance at a catch. Hail Mary's are very low probability plays. I don't know the actual statistics, but I would be surprised if more than 10-15% of them are successful. That is what makes them so memorable when they work.
I love your videos, but I must say. It is perfectly fine for you guys to occasionally go back 10 or so seconds if you feel you may have missed something. For me it would make for much more understanding of some scenarios and even the transition to further plays ya know
Hi Carlton, thank you. Next week we’re placing an order for the equipment we need. Once it’s arrived, we can run better software with the upgraded laptop (we’re using a fairly old one) and then we can rewind. We can’t wait. The equipment is going to help us so much and will resolve this particular issue as well as any sound issues. Hoping in a few weeks it’ll all be up and running.
The Boston College miracle (quarterback #22) over Miami was amazing as Miami was a perennial powerhouse. BC was very good but still the underdog of the game. It should be noted that the quarterback, Doug Flutie, was on his own 35 yard line when he let it fly; that's 65-yards in the air. None of the others were that far. The only other 65-yard Hail Mary I've ever seen was by Aaron Redgers of Green Bay and he was a seasoned professional. More amazing: most quarterbacks are around 6'3" or 6'4" and weigh about 210 - 240 pounds Flutie was supposed to be 5' 10" and weighed about 190 pounds, making him very small by the standard QB. (Theheight is thought to have been overstated with most feeling he was more like 5' 8 or 9".) In any event, that's a lot of oomph for a man his size.
The defense will often bring in the wide receivers and put them in the end zone on hail mary plays as they are taller. I'm not sure if you guys have discovered the "onside kick" play yet, but when the receiving team suspects this play, it is towards the end of the game, they will put their "hands team" onto the field. This team is made up of players who are said to have "good hands" for catching the ball as it can be difficult to handle during the onside kick. The players used can be from the Offense, Special Teams, and Defensive players. The onside kick is mostly used towards the end of the game after the kicking team has just scored a field goal or a touchdown but are still behind in scoring with little time left in the game. During the kickoff, the kicker will intentionally kick the ball into the ground so that it bounces around and becomes difficult to catch. The ball must travel a minimum of 10 yards and can be recovered by any member of the kicking team for an extra possession. On rare occasions, a team may use the onside kick as a "trick play"... basically at a point in the game when it's not expected.
There is a crazy high school game from the 80s that will live in infamy. The video is grainy. It has been written up in several magazines and shows. The winner went on to State championships. The Quarterback mistakenly believed that he’d won the game when time expired and handed the ball to opposing team who ran it back for winning touchdown. Shawnee Mission South vs Shawnee Mission West 1983. Available on RUclips
Only one small knit pick. You keep calling Michigan State "Michigan" when there is a team that is generally referred as Michigan, The University of Michigan. It's analogous to calling Manchester City, "Manchester." Only reason it's somewhat important is the rival that typically exists between two state schools like Michigan and Michigan State of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, etc. Otherwise loving the content.
Would LOVE to see you guys react to College Football best Quarterback runs... or really just react to Jonny Manziel highlights. Been watching college football my entire life and those are the videos that keep me speechless
If you're impressed by the length of those throws you need to watch videos like the Best Outfield Throws in MLB, where many of the throws are at least twice as long as these. Remember a football field is 100yards/300 feet long. No quarterback is throwing much more than a 50 yard/150feet pasd. The shortest distance in any major league stadium to the outfield wall is just over 300 feet and that is rare. Most centerfield walls in baseball are 400feet/122 meters from homeplate so you often get throws of around 100yards/300 feet or more.
Y'all should react to Cal-Stanford "The Play." Maybe the wildest play in college football history but I don't see any reactions on RUclips which seems odd.
I would love to see you guys react to Devin Hester Highlights by NFL Throwback. That dude was a legend, and I know you would find it amazing to watch ^^
This video (2 mins) shows the emotions of the TN Georgia Hail Mary: ruclips.net/video/khD7fG0rjXU/видео.html. It is great. GA had just scored on a long pass with 10 seconds left before UT hit the Hail Mary. Even if you don’t react to it, you’ll still enjoy it…unless you’re a UGA fan. 😊
Make sure you guys set up a patreon like page to get donations and put up private paid content. RUclips takes a massive cut of the super thanks and the super chats on livestreams. Like close to triple those other sites. Wanna see you guys get what your worth
Can you guys react to a video called The game the NFL wants you to forget about by KTO? You guys already watched a kto video and i think you really liked him
You guys should react to “the night Osama Bin Laden was killed”. It’s both a sporting event video and a big night in American history. It’ll get a ton of views for you.
Haha yes I say dinner, the further north you go they will call dinner, tea. When I say tea, I mean the hot drink 😂 but I generally have dinner around 6-7pm because of my job.
The best ever? That is doubtful. It certainly had some of the best Hail Marys. I think there were game ending Hail Marys. There is a similar situation on the last play of the half too. And either the team leading or behind might try a deep pass at halftime.
You need to check out the bowl game in 2013 last play between Alabama and Auburn. They are big rivals and Alabama usually wins but not this time. Link ruclips.net/video/vR7s2m5Z5GA/видео.html

If you look, when a lot of these plays start you can only see 5 or 6 defenders because half of them are sitting on the goal line waiting for the pass.
In the immortal words of legendary broadcaster Chris Berman...when defending a hail mary attempt...."KNOCK IT DOWN!" When the defense tries to make a play on the ball instead of just batting it to the ground, that's what causes those tipped balls that get caught by another player.
I'm amazed that video didn't have Kordell Stewart's hail mary from Colorado @ Michigan 97

Came here to say this.
Let’s not forget that Flutie was one of the Canadian Football League’s all-time greats in the middle of his career. 👍
Thank you for the context Big_Tex. Went back and had another watch of this one specially
The most memorable one for me is the one at 2:50 when Doug Flutie of Boston College threw the 60+ yeard touchdown to his college roommate on Thanksgiving Day.

I'm a Cane fan and remember it like it was yesterday. Makes me want to vomit every time I see it. 🤢🤢🤮🤮
The week before that game Miami blew a 35 point lead to Maryland (quarterbacked by Frank Reich who had the biggest NFL comeback years later)
It just seems so unusual that even though he won the Heisman, he wasn't given a decent chance in the NFL to start. He did eventually become a legend in the CFL though.
5-foot-9 isn't tall enough for an NFL quarterback. That was the only reason. Flutie's spirit was indomitable.
Devin Hester’s highlights are pure madness. Best kick returner in history college & nfl
NFL Throwback did a great highlight reel ruclips.net/video/dddpWhUdUAA/видео.html&ab_channel=NFLThrowback - Hester changed the game. Everyone watched special teams while he was on the field. His speed, elusiveness and field sense were incredible

I did notice that at least a couple of these were not literally last play of the game so for those it would explain why the defense didn't seem in all out prevent Hail Mary mode
In number 7 or 8, I think, Doug Flutie for BC throws it about 65 yards or so. He was only 5'9". Not too many 5'9" QBs can throw it that far.
@@elijahfoster2 everywhere I look at, 10% is the figure I get for the NFL. I thought it was high too, but that’s what I’m seeing. Maybe it’s different between college and professional though.
I still get chills watching the “prayer in Jordan-Hare” @ 5:51
Fun fact - one of the players that tipped the ball transferred to Auburn and went on to be a starter as a linebacker.
Great reactions!
Appreciate it JB, thanks for the info!
I got chills when they played Florida state that year.
They do "bulk up" the "backline" in those situations. They'll usually take Linebackers off of the field and replace them with Defensive Backs and play a Dime, Quarter or Prevent defense.

Sean Taylor died protecting his family from a home invasion by a gunman. Absolutely tragic.
Hail Mary winning touchdowns are always exciting. This was a fun video!
We loved it! Thank you!
keep up the reactions!! when it gets closer to the beginning of march madness, you should do a “British guys react to best march madness game winners/buzzer beaters” or something like that
Thank you, lots of March Madness videos on the way. More College Basketball this week and dropping two next week!
You guys absolutely have the watch the "kick 6" play between Auburn and Alabama. Ive noticed it hasn't been on any of these videos. One of the most craziest plays in NCAA history.
Thanks Ryder. We’re hoping to do the highlights of this one, got it on the list 👍
I can't believe this video didn't include Colorado beating Michigan in the big house when Kordell Stewart threw a 70 yard bomb with time expiring!
For me, the best thing about these miracles are the crowd reactions. Once again, thank you guys for a good reaction
Thanks for the support!

Like any “Best Ever” vid on RUclips, they’re skewed towards modern (and higher-definition) clips.
These were good ones. 👍
the Hail Mary has evolved, there has always been the pack of receivers that jump for the ball in the end zone... but now, they have a player or two that separates from the group and waits for the tip.

Our famous Off coordinator Lincoln Riley (now head coach at USC) screwed up by not properly running out the clock when we had the ball. Big Conf loss to UCF ouch 😢
We won on a last min 4th down hailmarry vs Tulsa . Surprised its not up here?
UCF was a powerhouse, baby!
Another banger video lads! Glad y'all are having as much fun as we are!! Cheers from Texas
The Boston college one with Doug Flutie is one of the top Plays, that Hail Mary won Boston College the Nation Championship !!!
Some context for the Iowa highlight, there was a penalty on the previous play and the quarterback didn't know it. He thought they had stopped the clock and that he had time for more then 1 play. Also the receiver who caught the pass, Warren Holloway, this was his last game as a senior and that was the only Touchdown of his career.
Some chill bros. The type of friends everyone wants. You guys are awesome. Positive Vibes 🤟
Thank you! Appreciate that 😀

On almost all of these last second plays, the defense only has 3 guys putting pressure on the quarterback. They have to put pressure on him or he can just sit back there and wait for someone to come open. Then the Defense will drop 8 men in coverage. 2 or 3 might be a little short of the end zone to protect against a shorter throw, and then the rest will be at the goal line defending any throw into the endzone. These are VERY rare plays. When watched in compilation form it looks more common than it actually is.
I was at the game with the last clip. It took them about 5 minutes to review it and decide that yes, he got the ball across the goal line (barely). Didn't help that the roar of the crowd when he caught the ball was loud enough to start shaking the goal-line camera.
Can imagine that was a nervous wait Dan! Hopefully you were on the right side of the Decision 🤞
@@DNReacts I was indeed (though Wisconsin got the better of us in a rematch in the conference title game that year). Our seats were at the top of the stands, right below the press box, so while the officials were reviewing it, we were all trying to hear what the TV announcers were saying about it.
Another funny thing about it: that was Wisconsin's first loss of the season. The next week, they played at Ohio State ... and that clip was *also* in the video. Only two games they lost in the regular season that year.
"Hail Mary" plays are designed so that there are several receivers in the area where the pass will be thrown. There are typically at least 2 players in the immediate area of the pass and 1 player trailing back a few yards. The idea is for one of the 2 primary receivers to either catch the ball or, if unable to make the catch, tip the ball towards the trailing receiver so there is still a chance at a catch. Hail Mary's are very low probability plays. I don't know the actual statistics, but I would be surprised if more than 10-15% of them are successful. That is what makes them so memorable when they work.
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again!! GO VOLS!! AND NICE CATCH JUAN JENNINGS!!!
Also just subscribed, love the reactions
Thank you so much!
I love your videos, but I must say. It is perfectly fine for you guys to occasionally go back 10 or so seconds if you feel you may have missed something. For me it would make for much more understanding of some scenarios and even the transition to further plays ya know
Hi Carlton, thank you. Next week we’re placing an order for the equipment we need. Once it’s arrived, we can run better software with the upgraded laptop (we’re using a fairly old one) and then we can rewind. We can’t wait. The equipment is going to help us so much and will resolve this particular issue as well as any sound issues. Hoping in a few weeks it’ll all be up and running.
@@DNReacts Sounds great man. Extremely appreciate the feedback as well, cant wait
"Tennessee is in every one of these".
Yeah, we are. We break a lot of hearts, and get our hearts broken just as often it seems.
The Boston College miracle (quarterback #22) over Miami was amazing as Miami was a perennial powerhouse. BC was very good but still the underdog of the game. It should be noted that the quarterback, Doug Flutie, was on his own 35 yard line when he let it fly; that's 65-yards in the air. None of the others were that far. The only other 65-yard Hail Mary I've ever seen was by Aaron Redgers of Green Bay and he was a seasoned professional. More amazing: most quarterbacks are around 6'3" or 6'4" and weigh about 210 - 240 pounds Flutie was supposed to be 5' 10" and weighed about 190 pounds, making him very small by the standard QB. (Theheight is thought to have been overstated with most feeling he was more like 5' 8 or 9".) In any event, that's a lot of oomph for a man his size.
Another great vid. What you're mainly witnessing is horrific defense that is much less likely to happen in the NFL.
The defense will often bring in the wide receivers and put them in the end zone on hail mary plays as they are taller.
I'm not sure if you guys have discovered the "onside kick" play yet, but when the receiving team suspects this play, it is towards the end of the game, they will put their "hands team" onto the field. This team is made up of players who are said to have "good hands" for catching the ball as it can be difficult to handle during the onside kick. The players used can be from the Offense, Special Teams, and Defensive players.
The onside kick is mostly used towards the end of the game after the kicking team has just scored a field goal or a touchdown but are still behind in scoring with little time left in the game. During the kickoff, the kicker will intentionally kick the ball into the ground so that it bounces around and becomes difficult to catch. The ball must travel a minimum of 10 yards and can be recovered by any member of the kicking team for an extra possession. On rare occasions, a team may use the onside kick as a "trick play"... basically at a point in the game when it's not expected.
There is a crazy high school game from the 80s that will live in infamy. The video is grainy. It has been written up in several magazines and shows. The winner went on to State championships. The Quarterback mistakenly believed that he’d won the game when time expired and handed the ball to opposing team who ran it back for winning touchdown. Shawnee Mission South vs Shawnee Mission West 1983. Available on RUclips
Tennessee/Georgia game, you can see me running on the field to jump on the dog pile. Greatest moment of my life.
In these highlights? This is incredible 😅
@@DNReacts yes sir!
Oh man.. I'd love to see you guys react to hockey's toughest hits.
We will be doing hockey in the near future!
Probably the best yt account for this is Ding Productions
He’s done every topic under the sun
Only one small knit pick. You keep calling Michigan State "Michigan" when there is a team that is generally referred as Michigan, The University of Michigan. It's analogous to calling Manchester City, "Manchester." Only reason it's somewhat important is the rival that typically exists between two state schools like Michigan and Michigan State of Oklahoma and Oklahoma State, etc. Otherwise loving the content.
University of Michigan and Michigan State University.
Would LOVE to see you guys react to College Football best Quarterback runs... or really just react to Jonny Manziel highlights. Been watching college football my entire life and those are the videos that keep me speechless
Thanks for the suggestions!
great video guys!
Appreciate it 🤝🏻
You guys should check out the Ohio State band performance. I’ve only seen it live once but it’s an absolute sight to behold.
Their halftime shows are peerless in their creativity and technical complexity. And their "Script Ohio" formation is a marvel of precision.
I'd say you should react to NFL hail marys too, but half of that video would just be Aaron Rodgers.
Hello, the thumbnail is of NFL not college. Love your guys video❤️
That’s my bad, sorry 😂 appreciate the support!
If you're impressed by the length of those throws you need to watch videos like the Best Outfield Throws in MLB, where many of the throws are at least twice as long as these. Remember a football field is 100yards/300 feet long. No quarterback is throwing much more than a 50 yard/150feet pasd. The shortest distance in any major league stadium to the outfield wall is just over 300 feet and that is rare. Most centerfield walls in baseball are 400feet/122 meters from homeplate so you often get throws of around 100yards/300 feet or more.
Y'all should react to Cal-Stanford "The Play." Maybe the wildest play in college football history but I don't see any reactions on RUclips which seems odd.
You should look at running back Walter Payton highlights and also full back Mike Alstott highlights.
Awesome video
Thank you!
After seeing your March Madness video, you guys should watch "Greatest March Madness Buzzer Beaters of All-Time"
Thank you for the suggestion. Added to our list. We’ve got plenty of College Basketball lined up for the coming weeks.
i would love to see a video of "two british guys playing MADDEN 2023 on pc for first time"
According to a google search, only 9.7% of all Hail Mary passes are successful. Goes to show why it's mainly used in the last seconds of a game.
I would love to see you guys react to Devin Hester Highlights by NFL Throwback. That dude was a legend, and I know you would find it amazing to watch ^^
Y’all need to see Rams vs Chiefs 2018 Monday night football. Game was crazy
Thanks for the suggestion Paul!
This video (2 mins) shows the emotions of the TN Georgia Hail Mary: ruclips.net/video/khD7fG0rjXU/видео.html. It is great. GA had just scored on a long pass with 10 seconds left before UT hit the Hail Mary. Even if you don’t react to it, you’ll still enjoy it…unless you’re a UGA fan. 😊
Thank you, I’ve added to the list! Sounds a good watch
Good vid
Check out Tavon Austin-Only One. The most viewed football highlight film of all time.
Make sure you guys set up a patreon like page to get donations and put up private paid content. RUclips takes a massive cut of the super thanks and the super chats on livestreams. Like close to triple those other sites. Wanna see you guys get what your worth
Thank you!
Nothin better than a hail mary
They are so good!
You gotta check out the Hail Mary king. Aaron Rodgers
Watch the hitting a baseball sports science. A great video.
Thanks for the suggestion!
React to LSU vs Alabama 2022! Yall tell me what game do yall think is the game of the year LSU vs Alabama or Tennessee vs Alabama
Georgia VS Ohio state was the best game of the year.
Can you guys react to a video called The game the NFL wants you to forget about by KTO? You guys already watched a kto video and i think you really liked him
Hey, thanks for this, I’ve added to the list!
You guys should react to the hardest hits in the NFL or if you want to react to an NFL game a recommend Dolphins vs ravens 2022 game
Here's an awesome hail Mary play from Texas high school football I got to broadcast from this past season. ruclips.net/video/HXuNOEH-Iyk/видео.html
If any guys on the team also play basketball, they will be out there for that last play.
That makes sense!
Here is a good one you should do:

It’s another weather one and it’s quite long, but it’s a classic.
🏅🏅
You guys should react to “the night Osama Bin Laden was killed”. It’s both a sporting event video and a big night in American history. It’ll get a ton of views for you.
This play never makes these compilations for some reason.ruclips.net/video/58ncJj4L2jw/видео.html
I was expecting to see that one. That play gutted me for good number of days. :D
Straight banger video after banger video💯 Fr keep it up yall
Appreciate the support 🤝🏻
Watch Devin Hester highlights
Morning, y’all. 🌞
Good afternoon 😀
@@DNReacts it’s tea time over there yes? 😁
It’s 3:40 pm!
@@DNReacts LOL. I thought y’all had tea around 4:00. Now I realize you must be talking about dinner. And I’ve watched too many 19th century movies.
Haha yes I say dinner, the further north you go they will call dinner, tea. When I say tea, I mean the hot drink 😂 but I generally have dinner around 6-7pm because of my job.
The best ever? That is doubtful. It certainly had some of the best Hail Marys. I think there were game ending Hail Marys. There is a similar situation on the last play of the half too. And either the team leading or behind might try a deep pass at halftime.
Hellolooo
Hey!
You guys need a background. Hang up a flag or some artwork, on the wall behind you. Some kinda wall hangings will improve the look of your videos.
Please do “ nfl biggest hits” it’s awesome!!
Thanks Justin, added to the list!
You need to check out the bowl game in 2013 last play between Alabama and Auburn. They are big rivals and Alabama usually wins but not this time. Link ruclips.net/video/vR7s2m5Z5GA/видео.html
