Other Greatest Hits
Earlier in the week PB presented his VY Greatest Hits which served as a great reminder of how awesome Vince Young was/is. We thought we'd build on that concept (read: "steal that idea") by listing a few greatest plays and performances from some of our other favorite recent and current players.
Ced B:
- '04 versus Okie St (23 carries, 142 yards, 5 tds in our most memorable home game as students--the greatest comeback we've ever seen)
- '03 versus Nebraska (28 carries, 179 yards, 3 tds in the game that really gave rise to the zone-read)
- '03 versus A&M (35 carries, 289 yards, 4 tds)
Roy Williams:
- 54 yard grab from just-off-the-bench Chance Mock versus Texas Tech on the game-winning drive in '03
- '03 versus LSU in Cotton Bowl (1 carry, 39 yards, 4 catches, 142 yards, 2 tds)
- '02 versus Nebraska (13 catches, 161 yards, 2 tds)
Nathan Vasher:
- Interception versus Nebraska in '02 which saved the game
- UT-Record 173 punt return yards against Baylor en route to a UT-Record 554 punt return yards on the 2001 season.
- Interception versus A&M in '03 which tied Nate for the UT career record
Limas Sweed:
- Falling backward, just inside the endzone, over-the-head, ohmygodishegonnamakethecatch?! TD catch against Ohio St in '05
- 2006 season, wherein Limas tied his idol Roy Williams for the UT single-season record with 12 TD catches.
- Great grab against Baylor in '05
Derrick Johnson:
- Sack of Reggie McNeal in '04
- Forced fumble against OU in '04 (Best moment from an otherwise dreadful day)
- The 2002 and 2003 seasons, when DJ showed he could play finesse defense too by tying the UT record for most interceptions by a linebacker in a single season with 4. Both seasons.

Nice moments indeed
but none are as exciting as Vince's #10 moment.
Vasher
What? No mention of Vasher's KO of the poor gunner from Tech on the fake punt?
THE PLAY

Best plays
Another interesting list could be the best plays by Longhorns in the NFL. Vasher's return might win, but there's definitely not a shortage of Vince or Roy Williams plays (actually, Earl would take the gold if you go back far enough)
fav all-time catch
Roy Williams two-handed catch behind his own helmet as he was streaking down the sideline against North Carolina Wolfpack (the light blue NC team, not the red one) but, alas, the play was waived off (incomplete) as the ref said he stepped on the line as he was tightroping it.
Doesn't anyone else remember that catch?
Wrong team mascot
North Carolina is the Tarheels. They are light blue.
North Carolina State is the Wolfpack. They are red.
I don't recall the play. Sorry.

Wasn't RWilliams v. TTech...

different catch
they're not talking about the game-winning catch. roy had a really long catch earlier in that drive.
as i now recall, this was the last texas football game i saw in person. that's sad. i need to get back to austin more often. but no worries. i'm sure this new job as an attorney in new york will give me plenty of time for travel.
Ah! My mistake.
You are correct. I was thinking of the TD catch, but upon reflection RWilliams did indeed make a HUGE catch to get that drive going. Sorry.
It is YOUR mistake you haven't been back since then. Win some cases and get back. DKR-Memorial is going through some changes. For the better, in my opinion.
