Still believe the onside kick vs Clemson in the title game was the best play ever. Only because Saban had a grin that I don't believe I've ever seen. Roll Tide!!
Cody Baker I'll never get tired of seeing it.
I knew it was over when he smiled!
I had completely called it too, because I had noticed that the defense had been getting tired and felt that Saban would want to keep them off the field a bit longer.
Yeah, that last one was good, but we were always going to win that Texas game once McCoy went out. That onside kick was not only an amazing play amazingly well executed, but it completed shifted the momentum of that game and made the difference in winning and losing.
Cody Baker He's kept that one play call in his back pocket for years. Perfect timing and brilliant execution. Will never forget it!
Now the pass from Tua in the Title game vs Georgia should be number 1.
Tua, Tua, Tua. 22-2 and 3-2 in games that mattered. LSU 2019 will own best ever and Tua is directly responsible. LSU won by 5. Tua lost 10 points with his own flops.
Not a Bama fan, but if i were assembling a team with Saban's players, I'd take AJ McCarron at QB.
@@zacharyscott6779 Tough call. AJ was a team guy. He didn't have to bail out his team very often. Tua didn't have the kind of running attack AJ's teams had. I'd pick Tua as a quarterback in general, but the team was so much better when AJ was under center, and he fit those teams perfectly.
@@VvImpalervV i can understand that. Tua i think got a little cocky at times and it burned him. Examples would be the 2 INT's against Clemson in the NC game. Those throws were nothing more than "im going to do this cause I'm the man". Didn't read the defense at all. Talent wise I definitely think Tua was better overall but AJ always kept his poise. Still a good debate between the two though!
hal payne it was a hell of a pass!! Brilliant play and it doesn’t get the credit it deserves! Do anyone realize that most nfl qbs can’t do what he did and the best part was him looking off the safety!! I’m a Gator and I give credit where it’s due, no matter what I’m a SEC fan, imma root for all sec teams when they go against anyone outside of it!! Plus my best friend is a bama fan, I always wanted a coach like nick saban, when I coached pop warner I was kinda intense but the parents loved it and the kids thanked me because I won’t allow them to give up I wanted the best out of them, I was taught if you’re going to do something do it to the best of your ability !!that’s why admire coach saban!! Ps pop warner in my state of Florida and in Texas is gritty I have never seen parents so talk so much trash and be ready to fight and tell their kids you better leave him in the dirt you better lay his ass out, it’s brutal man
The nostalgia from these games is amazing
Thank God for Nick Saban and that first class that changed everything
Agreed
It's like they were just played yesterday. You. R. right
As a vol fan I digress
@@1Jolleyvol, yeah, some of these games feel like they happened yesterday
When Cody blocked both of those kicks against Tennessee, he became one of my favorite Alabama players. Roll Tide!
Mount Cody will always be Alabamas sweetheart
I love the onside kick against Clemson, it was basically a pass right to him. I have never seen a better kickoff in all of the time I've watched football. It was right on the money, you couldn't have asked for a better kick.
The icing on the cake was the Clemson coach protesting that only Clemson could take possession of the kickoff. Guess it was the heat of the moment. RTR!
It was a 50-50 shot and they nailed it
Crazy to think Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Derrick Henry, Trent Richardson, Kenyon Drake, and obviously many more big names came out of the same school and same coach. Saban is truly a legend.
There was a game with Greg Mcelroy where he hopped on one foot down the sideline to get a 1st down and keep a drive alive....it'll always stick with me!!
Brandon Carroll that was against Florida in the SEC championship
That was Alabama vs Florida SEC Championship game December 2009
Or Julio's end around against Sparty in 2010 with McElroy as the lead blocker.
that was when we came back the following year, made Tebow cry and sent Urban Meyer to the hospital with chest pains.
awesome memory!
"Cody Again" is #1 for me.
CrimsonTide Love that play but my favorite was the screen to Yeldon
@Elijah Smith Yeah too bad Auburn couldn't make it to another National Championship game. Once in a lifetime I suppose 🤷♂️
Yeah Cody saved our only undefeated season under Saban. Heck of a play.....both of them.
Drake's kickoff return is #1 in my book!
Me to! I totally agree...
I wish he never got hurt....he was my favorite player
i want to see a video of how fast he was actually running without the camera moving
On the nick saban show, the equipment manager said they use gps to track players and that Drake was going about 21 m.p.h.
I saw it live in the stands and I have never screamed so loud
After all these years I can still remember exactly where I was for all 16. Roll Tide!
Most definitely will go down as the greatest football coach in history.
Arnell Austin college* his boy Bill will take that once he passes Shula
@@armedostrich14 Ever* - Belichick has been gifted with tremendous stability. Whether it be from Robert Kraft, Tom Brady or receivers like Wes Welker or Julian Edelman, he always has his pieces every year. Saban goes through a quarterback at least every 4 years, if not less. He has to recruit every position, and completely overhaul his roster almost every year. He is constantly paired with new offensive and defensive coordinators because his always leave for head coaching jobs. He his job is infinitely harder than Belichick's because of this.
@@shchorss Hey dip sht. You're out of your mind. Saban doesn't have it any different than any other college coach. Belichick is the greatest. Saban couldn't cut it at the higher level ... a more competitive league. He had to come back down for amateur ball and coach for a college that puts an emphasis on nothing but doing whatever it takes to win football games, including cheating.
The greatest defensive mind in college football history
Gary Pulliam “Saban doesn’t have it any different than any other college coach”... that was kind of his point, moron. You can’t buy your dynasty like you can in the NFL, therefore you’re stuck playing with the same rules as every other college team.
I could watch these all days. Gives me chills. We are very fortunate to be roll tiders!!!
The Best BAMA Is yet To Come In 2019/2020 !
That's big facts
The defense is giving up too many points to be the best Bama team, I wish we had 2009's defense or 2012's defense. I yearn for those defensive plays that were spectacular.
Whatever you say Gump !! Go polish your Citrus Bowl trophy!
i remember every single one and more hahaha Roll Tide Roll
Alabama fans should still be pissed about the two Clemson pick plays for TDs. That was so wrong no matter how you feel about Bama. The first was so obvious. I can't believe the ref let it go.
Yeah but nothing we can do about it now. Just gotta look towards the future and the future is looking bright the rest of this year. Roll Tide
Yeah there are bad memories like that and kick six but it’s nice to know that there’s many other good moments to look back on Roll ride
Tom Wolfe the game winners was the worst no call I've ever seen in my life
Yeah, but they dominated the stats. They were the better team. And the refs did us some favors vs Georgia, so it all evens out.
Pro Shotz is it really owning if it is only 2-1?
Wish we had them all back and still playing. Man they were fun to watch.
It’s impossible to pick your favorites. There are simply too many great moments.
How was the Trent Richardson juke run not on this list? He literally stopped dead in his tracks, AT THAT SIZE ARE YOU KIDDING ME? One of the best runs in college football ever!!!!!
If they put all of them that would eligible, the video would be two days long!
No it wasn't the best run in college football u r a joke
It was against Arkansas though. Lol
@@michielstrickland9563 No it wasn't. It was against Ole Miss.
Fail.
The 10-12 game against the vols is still one of my personal favorits of all time... was amazing to see cody do that twice in 1 game to save it for us!! Roll Tide Roll!!!!!!
Hell of a list man...I remember watching every single one of those plays live shaking my head in disbelief
I know this is when Saban was coach. But does anybody remember that awesome catch from prothro behind the southern miss players back.
alibobo baba yep one of the best catches in Alabama history and he was short by one yard for that td catch
23dlc no doubt one of the craziest catches I've ever seen
Yes sir, I was there!
alibobo baba
the greatest catch in college football history
Michael Motes CANT ARGUE WITH THAT
Kenyon drake return is waaay higher than 7....that won the national championship
If Vinnie stayed 1 more year he would of been a 1st round pick the kid was electric and could make plays
He got hurt and that made him think and I think he made the right decision for him. I'm still glad we had him when we did.
Roll Tide from phenix city alabama
Come on. The guy was great in college but he wasn't even All SEC, much less All American when he was there. Only 1 safety was picked in the first round in 2015 (that is the year he would have gone if he stayed an extra year) and that was an All-Pac 12 Safety. Landon Collins wasn't even a first round pick in 2015 and he was a unanimous all-american.
The top two are interchangeable in my mind. Both made my jaw drop, they were so astonishing. I might give the onside kick the nod for the best play, since it was a planned play, but wow, Dareus made an outstanding play. I also loved Yeldon scoring on the screen play, a HUGE turnaround. Hell, they are ALL good ! ROLL TIDE!
Good one. When AU beats BAMA, it is most often a KICK SIX or PUNT BAMA PUNT or the incredible CAM SCAM COMEBACK. When BAMA beats AU, it's just the natural order of things. God is in His heaven, BAMA over the Barners, and all is right with the world.
Now that was a good video! All them players good to see and hear there names again, Good Job RTR
It just makes my heart so happy... ❤️ 🐘 🏈
Nick does not always play Trick or Treats in Football, but when he does they sure are sweet as candy Kudos!
So many to choose from in 9yrs, but this was a great list... Roll Tide
@Rusell Shaw Still better than your team.....
Coming from a Sooner fan that hopes we will beat y’all in the OB, I think all these Bama teams have been really fun to watch!!! That blocked kick against Tennessee was insane and it, quite frankly, is what I think really might have saved Saban’s dynasty. That big #62 played the game with so much heart man. What a team 09 was!
Aw Great Memories. Needs to be updated with the Tua OT TD in 2018 National Championship Game.
I love all of those magical plays by our Crimson Tideeee!!!!!! 🏈🏈🏈🏈🏈😊😊 ROLL TIDEEEEE!!! ❤️
This is best video I've ever seen in my life. So many wonderful memories. Thanks for posting this! ROLL TIDE!
8:42 Even Saban had to smile about that
I’ll never forget being 13 years old at the time watching the 2009 SEC championship and laughing as Tim Tebow cried like a baby 😂😂
dude in the middle of the screen at 2:33 flipping the bird lmaoooo
Ah man, Mt. Cody.
My car has broken down and I was pretty much stranded in a hotel and all I wanted to do was watch Bama vs Tennessee and this game almost gave me a heart attack the entire time.
Then Mt. Cody came through with the block and the wave of relief that washed over me was everything 🤣
Roll Tide Roll 🐘🐘🐘
Coker was one of my Favorite Alabama QB's. I dont think he got enough credit for that season.
Cody field goal kick is what saved Alabama season and what sparked the Alabama Dynasty!
We as Alabama fans sure are spoiled I’m trying to enjoy it all because it will end one day I hope not soon! Lol I love Alabama football I’ve been watching since I was about 12 around 1984 I have lots of great memories like Jeff Dunn’s 90 yard td pass against Tennessee My favorite game of all time I went to was the 1988 Alabama vs penn state Derrick Thomas kicked ass that was the 1st game I ever went too when they came on the field I got chill bumps I knew I was hooked for life Roll Tide
Ooorah to the greatest college football team out there. Roll tide
Alabama the best football team in college history Hands down. Roll tide
The roll out pass to Upchurch in the 2009 Iron Bowl will always be my favorite. I was a senior at Bama and I was visiting family in South Georgia during Thanksgiving break. Auburn had the lead the majority of the game and Bama handled the adversity the way champions do. Julio had some clutch catches on "The Drive". Then to put Richardson and Cody in the backfield and find Upchurch in the flat was pure genius. Without this play, the Bama dynasty may not have started as we know it. That 2009 team started the trend of national champions. They weren't the most talented group (compared to other National Champion Bama teams) but they left everything they had on the field. That team will always have a special place in my heart.
That is the shiznit. I love Alabama football. I'm ready to run through a brick wall.
Trent Richardson's Touchdown Run Against Arkansas not even in top16? That was the best play I ever seen...
true, he brooke 6 tackles at the line and then busted down field for like 60 yards
Bama I saw Eric Berry light up Trent live. Biggest hit I've ever seen in person and I love Alabama. Trent was a monster
MegaAlabamafan22 that's my favorite play of all time
VT fan here. I don't see how anyone can deny the dominance of Nick saban and his ability to change programs like he does. But this year I'm still hearing that the tide is overrated. Lol
Need to update this video and put both of DeVonta Smith’s catches on here. One to win Miss St game and of course catch to win national championship against Georgia. Awesome video!
Excellent choices! I broke my big toe jumping off the bar stool when big daddy MD made the spin, didn’t feel it until the next day.
I needed this after last nights game. Still love Alabama! But they need more spirit!
😂the look on Payton’s face
I had forgotten that Alabama produced so many elite WR'S. Its crazy that they have ao many Wide outs in the league still gettin it at the NFL level when the guys that were throwing them the ball never stay in the league long there are a couple exceptions but not many. In my book there quickly becoming known as a wide receiver hotspot more than a quarterback hotspot.
And the best is yet to come. Tua to D. Smith. "Touchdown! Alabama wins!"
That Drake KO return against Clemson was ELECTRIC! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!
Just never gets old..
Boy oh boy how many stars did Nick Saban have that became NFL Stars? You knew there was going to be great later on and they were case in Point Julio Jones for starters
As a Tennessee fan the most important for saban was the onside kick vs Tennessee his first season. Saban wasnt having a good year and had some heartbreaking losses . Nobody expected a onside kick so early and it basically took the life out of Tennessee and was the beginning of the end for fulmer . That was sabans first signature win . And kinda was the catalyst for things to come
I was at LSU for the screen pass for the win to Yeldon deflated the WHOLE STADIUM.
Lol yes indeed I was in attendance as well rooting for my home team and for sure one of the biggest swings in noise level and momentum I can recall in Death Valley in the time I've had season tickets since 2002
The 2 block fg's against Tenn..was Awesome!
5:53 One of the beautiful play's I have ever seen the perfect throw.
Great list of play's. I would have put the upchurch touchdown against Virginia Tech where he runs over the guy going into the end zone on there though. But i really enjoyed the vid.
Yes
Great memories.
I remember exactly where I was and what I was doing on all these plays, GREAT memories. Just need need to update #1 to 2nd and 26 and it's complete!
Excellent video. I remember every single one of those plays. Good job.
That coker play was ridiculously good .
Excellent compilation. It's hard to argue with anything here, including the order of importance. The only possible exclusion I can think of is the Erik Anders forced fumble of Gilbert in the Texas game. Great job.
This is my child hood right here ... All very good plays but some plays you left out
7:40 probably my favorite play.
dont worry it's still the best
i still remember
AJ to TJ was the best for me because I was in Baton Rouge and LSU fans were acting like they had already won it!
My favorite Bama play of all time is Rocky Stop... Roman Haper came with it in the clutch!
Elijah Smith I have never seen that play. It must not exist lol
Cody with 2 blocked FG in 1 game is all time best in my book that big ass man was doin work to get up in the air... i will never forget the feeling i had realizing we won the game like that shock of my life one of the best wins ever
The "Rally in Death Valley" will always be number one...
You really had to be witnessing the frustration and despair as a Tide fan. That was THE biggest game on the schedule that year, and we couldn't do a damn thing on offense all game.
Man, we had so much talent ON BOTH SIDES of the ball throughout the years giving us Bama fans... SO MANY HIGHLIGHTS we could watch over and over again! We all know Derrick Henry was/is amazing..BUT MARK INGRAM... DAMN THAT MINI-BULL started our run game! Lol. AJ McCarron was amazing.. again.. so many amazing players.. and what about DL Da'Ron Payne making that interception... THEN COMES IN ON AN OFFENSIVE PLAYS TO CATCH A TOUCHDOWN PASS!
I believe Nick Saban had us Bama fans so much more invested in our team... Just when we were thinking... HOW THE F**K CAN WE TOP THAT.. He'd have us reloaded and topping previous Bama teams... He did it in such a way.. we as Bama fans... came to expect it.. even when we shouldn't have.
Alabama is so good that at 4:53, Stan Lee was there thinking it was a superhero movie
Screen to Yeldon is one of my favorites
This.brought tears to my eyes rtr
The fans are the true heroes of the Bama gridiron...
The talent that comes out of Alabama is higher then any other school!

Good job, enjoyed it!
Glad LSU finally beat Bama. Took a decade, but man was it nice.
And....... we’re back
Man, vids like this just make u feel bad for georgia
I think the most hype plays ever are the Tua play against ga and the second cody block
great stuff man. roll tide
I almost freaked by some of the plays not on here then realized it was from 4 years ago! Roll Tide!
Definately love it, now obviously needs to be updated ;-D
The best part of this was getting to think about where I was when all of this was happening
The TJ Yeldon run on 3rd down before Cooper's TD may have been the biggest play of the 2012 season.
Sweet home Alabama,ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!!!!!!!❤️🐘❤️🐘❤️
Was at that Alabama vs Tennessee game with the blocked FG....I remember going into it thinking it was just gonna be a blowout and there wasn't gonna be much drama, boy was I ever wrong
Please make another video like this! There are so many more amazing Bama plays not on here
The block kick against Tennessee to me is the biggest play in Saban's tenure there. If Tennessee makes that field goal they still go to the SEC Championship game but they may not go to the national championship
It’s just mind-blowing, the amount of talent we’ve had CONSTANTLY, since Saban’s very first full recruiting class in 2008 (which included Julio Jones, Mark Ingram, Marcel Dareus, Donta Hightower, Mark Barron, and on, and on... and 2 of the 5* guys in that class never really had any kind of impact- BJ Scott and Tyler Love- but Dareus was a 3*, and Ingram was a low 4*, and there were a lot more that ended up being way underrated).
That class was 5 national championships ago, hahaha.
Great video!
The 2009 SEC Title game in general is my favorite out of all of these and I bet you can guess why!
YEA , MADE TEBOW CRY !!!
Julio Jones is a beast if he was there in this year's national championship we would've won.
Alabama was cheated
Tide fan, you have to edit in the pass from Tua in the 2017 - 2018 Championship Game vs Georgia!
The pic plays (both of them!) from Clemson was hard to stomach.
The catch from Prothro in the Sothern Miss game was amazing. I was there and got to see that play live!
Same goes for Greg McElroy tiptoeing down the side line for a first down vs Florida for the 2009 sec cg. Ahhh.. good memories.
RTR
#10 was the first ever football game
I've ever been to.
i was in my truck listening to terrence cody blocking daniel lincoln when they yelled block i threw my hands up and knocked my rear view mirror off
I remember copying that Jay Coker play when i was like 10 or 11
Love Eli Gold on the final call. That was very appropriate!
Awesome highlight video. Would love to have seen that pick 6 from Jonathon Allen in the 2016 Ole Miss comeback. Nothing better than watching one of the big defensive guys score.
Derek G lmao in the game, they considered it a fumble when it was clearly a thrown ball by Kelly.
mt cody blocking the fg and beating the vols may be my personal favorite
