[GoonieBuff]

I debated between the Oregon game plays. I'm still not sure if I got it right.

 

[Sykobuff]

Bobo catch

 

[patebuff]

Bobo's catch. That catch was absolutely unreal.

 

[The Alabaster Yak]

Spoons pick. I've never been more elated after a single play than I was after he sealed it.

 

[hokiehead]

Oliver's return

 

[Heywood]

Bobo's catch was the superior athletic play, the pick is the "it" moment for me and really seemed to be the turning point for the season

 

[Townie]

Liufau 70 yard TD pass on injured ankle to Fields v. Michigan.

 

[wsp4820]

Alex Kelley scores the first TD of the season!

 

[Lukeasaurus]

I would vote liufau bomb against Michigan as he limped and then collapsed.

 

[wyomingBUFF]

Witherspoon. Far and away the most memorable play in years. Went from "same old Buffs" to "holy **** this is real" in a second

 

[somebody]

Bobo's catch might be the play of the year nationwide, but ABs can't decide?

 

[whatthebuff]

Liufau 70 yard TD pass on injured ankle to Fields v. Michigan.

That's a good choice, also Bobo's spectacular 1 handed catch vs CSU could be a nominee.

Not enough love for our defense though. I'd have Kenneth O's fumble recovery against Utah and Gilbert's sack against WSU at least as honorable mentions. Those were two of my favorites anyway. The fumble recovery for a TD against Michigan was sweet too.

Ultimately I vote for Bobo against Oregon too. Great that we probably have more plays to choose from this season than the last 5 seasons combined.

 

[DBT]

At least an honorable mention goes to Sefo's TD pass after injuring his ankle at Michigan.

 

[Buffnik]

At least an honorable mention goes to Sefo's TD pass after injuring his ankle at Michigan.

If we'd won that game, it would be the winner without question. I have trouble considering any play from a loss as the "play of the year", though.

 

[Uncle Ken]

If we'd won that game, it would be the winner without question. I have trouble considering any play from a loss as the "play of the year", though.

Or for POWs

 

[BuffUp]

Witherspoon - sealed the deal.

 

[BuffLuke80]

Picked Spoon. It was close with Bobo though. All of them really were huge plays, hard to pick just one.

 

[DBT]

If we'd won that game, it would be the winner without question. I have trouble considering any play from a loss as the "play of the year", though.

That's exactly why I said "honorable mention." Because we lost the game.

 

[Uncle Ken]

That's exactly why I said "honorable mention." Because we lost the game.

Nothing honorable 'bout losing!

 

[SpacemanSpiff]

That's exactly why I said "honorable mention." Because we lost the game.

Solid defensive play from the DPOY!

 

[SerenityBuff]

Spoon's pick. Season and, potentially, program changing play.

 

[ZandiBuff]

I voted for Spoon - for this reason: That play in past years gets tipped and dropped and they score on the next play, or he miss times the jump and they score on that play. We never make that play in the past. This year, we did.

 

[somebody]

Spoon's pick. Season and, potentially, program changing play.

Wouldn't be in position to win the game on that pick w/o the incredible catch by Bobo.

 

[SerenityBuff]

Wouldn't be in position to win the game on that pick w/o the incredible catch by Bobo.

Without the pick, Bobo's catch doesn't matter.

 

[somebody]

Without the pick, Bobo's catch doesn't matter.

Agreed, both were required. Which was the more remarkable catch?

 

[BehindEnemyLines]

The play where the defender grabbed Sefo's facemask and was draped on the qb. Sefo turned to the back judge and signaled the infraction, and then turned and completed a pass for a first down.

Funniest play I've seen.

Awesome play!!!

 

[torero]

Liufau 70 yard TD pass on injured ankle to Fields v. Michigan.

This play will be the play I remember most from this season, even in a loss.

 

[patebuff]

Play of the year to me comes down to what is the most phenomenal play (unusually athletic, crazy play) that you've seen all year. That's why I went with Bobo's catch.
