Love the post and the series.

And yes, Reesing to Meier is definitely the play of the year, because of the stakes and result. However, Reesing to Briscoe against SHSU was the best single play I have seen in a very long time.

Also, I was pretty surprised to see a couple plays left off your honorable mention. Specifically, Briscoe's run after the catch against La Tech and Stuckey's tomahawk chop forced fumble at Arrowhead.

I did consider Briscoe's LA Tech play was just feeling like I could go on forever looking up YouTube clips. Someone needs to do a YouTube mix on Briscoe. I forgot about the Stuckey chop though -- should be in there.
