Sifting through 10 years worth of SEC football games, here’s a brief list of some of the most memorable stomach-turning memories and late-game finishes (depending on who you root for):

  1. Alabama at Auburn, 2013 — The stage was set for a classic and the Iron Bowl delivered in grand fashion. Simply known as ‘There Goes Davis’, Auburn’s incredible 109-yard missed field goal return for a touchdown as time expired last season sent Jordan-Hare Stadium into a frenzy and the much-hated and unbeaten Crimson Tide at a loss for words. At worst, Adam Griffith’s field goal try with one second left (after Nick Saban pleaded for extra time) and the score knotted at 28 would fall short or sail wide, sending the contest into overtime. In what felt like an alternate reality, pandemonium set in once Davis neared midfield with nothing but grass ahead of him. Davis’ helmet from the game sold for nearly $50,000 recently.
  2. Georgia at Auburn, 2013 — Bulldogs quarterback Aaron Murray’s heroic second-half performance was negated after Georgia’s secondary gave up a once-in-a-million touchdown, Nick Marshall’s 73-yard Hail Mary on 4th-and-18 from the Tigers’ 0wn 27. Auburn led by 20 points with 10 minutes to play before Murray led Georgia on a spirited comeback to pull ahead, 38-37, with 1:49 remaining.
  3. LSU at Kentucky, 2007 — One of two overtime losses for the Tigers during a national championship season, top-ranked LSU blew a 13-point lead in the second half to 17th-ranked Kentucky during one of the Wildcats’ most memorable campaigns in program history. Andre Woodson’s 7-yard touchdown pass to Steve Johnson in double overtime proved the final tally, 43-37. It was the Wildcats’ first victory over a No. 1 team since 1964 and one that returned the favor for a previous collapse — The 2002 Bluegrass Miracle — against the same Tigers.
  4. Tennessee at Alabama, 2009 — A near hiccup during the Crimson Tide’s unbeaten national title season, defensive tackle Terrence Cody blocked two field goals in the fourth quarter, including a 44-yard try as time expired, to preserve Alabama’s 12-10 win. Under the direction of coach Lane Kiffin, the Vols limped into the game at 3-3 but held Mark Ingram and the Crimson Tide without a touchdown. It wasn’t enough.
  5. South Carolina at Florida, 2006 — Steve Spurrier’s first return to The Swamp as an opposing head coach was an instant SEC East classic, won by the Gators on a blocked field by Jarvis Moss as time expired. The Gamecocks had three kicks blocked in the game including an earlier PAT in the fourth quarter. Florida went on to win its second national championship that season behind quarterbacks Chris Leak and a rookie named Tim Tebow.
  6. Mississippi State at Auburn, 2011 — The unbeaten defending national champions entertained the 16th-ranked Bulldogs in a game that came down to the final play. Trailing 41-34, Mississippi State had two chances to tie the game inside the 2-yard line but couldn’t push through on Chris Relf’s last-gasp keeper. Surprisingly, the 2011 season was the beginning of the end for Gene Chizik as the Tigers finished 4-4 in SEC play before going winless the following campaign.
  7. South Carolina at Mizzou, 2013 — Gary Pinkel and the Tigers had their hearts ripped out by an ailing Connor Shaw who entered the game for South Carolina trailing 17-0 in the second half. Shaw helped the Gamecocks force overtime and tossed a 15-yard touchdown pass on 4th-and-goal in the first extra session to escape defeat. After South Carolina’s Elliott Fry nailed a field goal in the second overtime, Mizzou’s nightmare finish came full circle when Andrew Baggett doinked his 24-yard attempt to end the game.
