The Greatest Play in Gamecock History

Nothing to add here. That was it. Melvin Ingram touchdown run against Georgia comes close but the Clooney Hit was the perfect answer to a Ref trying to steal the game. It will always make my blood pump!!!
Maybe it’s my age but I’ll always be partial to the Edward’s pick six in 87 or the kickoff return TD against FSU in 84.
Definitely the greatest of this century and I would put Alshon’s one hander against Bama right next to it. That catch made me a believer that maybe, just maybe, we wouldn’t have our hearts crushed again that day.

What is usually lost on "The Hit" by Clowney is his one handed recovery of the fumble right out from under the Michigan player who is diving in for the recovery.
Thanks for posting. Love Suggs laughing in the background, 😁 !
I knew we would win that one walking to the stadium. I knew we were good, we were in striking distance of Auburn two weeks before and probably would've won had it not been for Garcia melting down, but honestly that wasn't it. I didn't think we would win, I knew it, like some BS cliched supernaturnal force in a poorly written B-Movie about the power of belief. Never quite experienced that feeling before or since.
If Devin Taylor hadn’t cut Clowney’s feet from under him…… Dangit!
I’ll never forget that play, the circumstances, or Mike Tirico saying, “South Carolina DESERVES to have it, and they DOO!”
Brandon over the top to break their hearts?
Raynard Brown....
But none of them dramatically impacted the outcome like Jadeveon's incredible play when we needed it the most.
Maybe some of those Mike Hold passes from '84 are bigger plays?
There are none more memorable, imo. That one play got endless, national media coverage, and STILL gets replayed - they replayed it during the Outback bowl just this year. All you have to say is “the hit” and every college football fan knows what play you’re talking about. All of the other plays mentioned above, while great, can’t have that said about them.
I was in the stands for the hit. We were stunned by the measurement and then amazed by the play. Our seats were on that side of the field at the same yard line. Amazing. My daughter was with me and once Jadeveon went pro I bought her an autographed copy of the hit for her room.
I still think Kevin Joyce jump ball tap to Owen’s for the game winning basket in the ACC final was the best single moment.
Gotta be high on the list for sure, maybe even number one!!!
I assumed the OP was talking about just football. If we are doing all sports Joyce outjumping Lee Dedmon stands all by itself
Honorable mention to The Fade.
Merrifield to win the CWS anyone? Last time I checked, we don't have a lot of national titles in our trophy case
All of the above are some of the greatest plays, but all pale in comparison to Al Bundy's four touchdowns in one game for Polk High School.
I'll nominate Wingo's back to back plays in the bottom of the 9th against Florida with the bases loaded in the finals of the CWS game one,

hard to argue when the out come is THE RING
@Horseshoe 04 I had to edit the video since I missed the 1st out on my first post.
In Gamecock history???
IMO it’s the greatest play in all of college football! I might be a little biased tho, being a Gamecock fan and watching this guy play football since he was 12 years old!
Larry Munson, the voice of the Bulldogs, makes this clip iconic! "LAY DOWN YOU GUYS!"
Oddly, this was the first play that popped into my mind when I saw the thread title. Maybe didn't have the same importance as some of the others but certainly was one of the best ever to watch.
