IF I recall against LSU, Boykin did the sort of the cartoon move where two tacklers came from opposite sides and bounced off of each other.
Maybe not the most flashy, but Don’t forget Reggie Brooks At I think the 92 Snow Bowl vs Ped State
Speaking of cold weather, Montana’s Chicken Soup TD to Haines to beat Houston in the 78’/79’ Cotton Bowl.
Grimes catch was a TD. Talk about a “ homer” call. Ridiculous

My father, who wasn't in diapers but in high school, said when ND knocked off Ohio State all the kids in the Irish Catholic neighborhood he grew up in, who had been listening to it on the radio, poured into the streets afterward cheering. I think it may have been his Miracle on Ice moment.
My mom and dad and myself sat around the radio every Saturday to listen to Lindsey Nelson broadcast the ND game. I still remember my folks declaring that ND finally had a head coach in Ara afteR they dominated Wisconsin in Ara’s first game. I also have terrible memory of being at that season’s final game against USC. Undefeated and up 17-0, and losing 20-17. Hell, I can remember that game better than where I left my car keys last night!
I'd have to agree that was the clutchest clutch reception in my lifetime of watching ND. There's a funny video of a reunion of the '73 team. Ara imitates Weber's catch, including an exaggerated bobble, which I don't recall.
I tend to agree, while the other catches were great, they weren’t close to being on the same stage as that catch
I read an article from the New York Times that says he caught one other pass in 1973 during mop up time. It also says he never caught a pass from Clements even in warm ups. Weber states he had never run the play in practice or any pass play in practice.
Yup. The Bettis catch was nothing easy giving the circumstances and the weather. Reggie Brooks 2 point catch has to be the most exciting and nerve racking play. That play is a close 2nd for me.
I think you are setting too high a bar for the Clements-to-Weber play.
