Play of the game? I’m torn between Wilmore TD and Moss TD. Nacua catch, too.

So used to seeing Moss’ heroics, I’ll go with Wilmore for now. My god, what badassery!!!

I go with Nacua’s catch. He made a great adjustment to come down with the ball AND it was a TD on a grey-zone 4th down conversion attempt. I loved the walk-off homerun play call.

Also, Huntley’s pass was elite. Yogi Roth always talks about winning QBs needing to complete 3 crucial, elite passes in a game. Huntley to Nacua was certainly that.

It felt like I was watching Oklahoma’s O. Everything about that play was awesome.

After re-watching the pick 6, I’m putting that play up for consideration. WHAT. A. PLAY!

You’ve got the tip from Anae, the heads up awareness of Lloyd and then you’ve got two 315lb lineman (think it was Moala and Pututau) running step in step on the fire with Lloyd, Anae and Bernard. Fine, fine, fine display of team ball.

The great thing about this exercise is that there are no wrong choices.

These are three great choices.  I like the Wilmore play for what it means for the future. 

However, I will argue for the one not spoken for yet.  The Moss run could be argued as the set up the rest of the game.  We had just committed a holding penalty. It was declined because we were in the shadow of our own endzone.  Moss coming off of a shoulder injury, trucks a defender knocking him off his feet, cuts to the left and makes the longest run OSU has ever allowed to put us up by 14 early.  It set the tone and reemphasized how great it is to have Moss on the team.

Good point.  I loved Willmore’s effort and strength, but, honestly, by that time the OSU defense must have been tired, worn out and worn down.
