10. I apologize for not remembering this player's name but a Utah runningback high stepping across the 50-yard line avoiding Wyoming DB's enroute to a 70-something yard touchdown in the late 1980's.
8. The Duck. It hasn't been used in about 10 years, but it is the most epic play ever used on a football field. Consisting of a Center and a Quarterback on one end of the field with eight linemen offset on the opposite hashmark and one reciever/runningback behind them. Back in the day in "Rice" Stadium you would hear fans squealing duck calls to urge on the play.
7. 34 - 31, Does more need to be said?
6. Perennial Mountain West doormat, the Utes' 2009 baseball team drops the opening game of the conference tournament to powerhouse TCU then subsequently beats all three of the conference's top teams, (BYU, San Diego State, and TCU twice) to capture the school's first conference baseball crown and first trip to the NCAA baseball tournament in 40 years.
5. BYU's Max Hall completely falls apart and turns the ball over six times in the second half the 2008 Holy War game.
4. The Hook and Ladder. The originally BCS Busters, the 2004 Utes, put the exclamation point on a perfect season in the Fiesta Bowl.
3. 2008 Utes drop 21 unanswered points on the highly ranked Alabama Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl.
2. With star Michael Doleac fouled out, Junior Andre Miller steps up and beats a North Carolina squad with several future NBA All-Stars in overtime to send the Utes to the NCAA Championship Game.
1. Trailing nearly the entire game Utah scores 11 point in just over two minutes to beat Oregon State in 2008. A drive that included a Freddie Brown touchdown, a Brian Johnson bootleg for the two-point conversion, the biggest defensive four-and-out ever, and the most epic of all a 35-yard Louie Sakoda game winning field goal with two seconds left all the while 46,000 rabid fans chant "LOUIE, LOUIE."
Honorable Mention: More funny than great. Large defensive end Paul Kruger picks up a fumble and sees nothing but end zone in front of him, but stumbles over his own feet enroute.
Honorable Mention #2: Moments before the 2008 Holy War, BYU attempts to start the "Haka." Brian Johnson and the rest of the team gets in the kitty's faces and stops them cold, while the stadium chants "NOT IN OUR HOUSE!"
