Tua & that class of wide receivers (Jeudy, D. Smith, Ruggs III, +) has already turned out to be a MONSTER recruiting haul, and they’re all still true sophomores- true freshmen when this game was played.
I’m just blown away how Smith ran the whole way watching the football and ran straight for the goal line catching that football just before he got there! That’s talent and many hours of practice and all those receivers do it! Amazing guys and we notice!
"Three receivers right, one to the left, straight back to pass, going deep, Throwing It Down the Far Side LINE...and it is CAAAAUUUUUGHHHT For a TOUCHDOWN! Devonte Smith! Wins the National Championship. Down the left sideline and wide open behind the defense. One true freshman to another!" I love Eli and the Spanish dude, but Sean McDonough broke this down and owns this call forever. RTR.
What about “Biggest 3rd down of Bryce Young’s career. Ya need 10. Play clock at 0:04. From the pocket… launching DOWN FIELD!! UNDER THROWN!! AND INTERCEPTED!! KELEE RINGO HAS AN ESCORT DOWN THE SIDELINE… ALL THE WAY TO THE ENDZONE!! AND GEORGIA IS GONNA CONQUER THE CRIMSON TIDE!!”
@LeskoBrandon2x I mean, Georgia had an 8 point lead. The interception was enough, returning it for a TD meant nothing. It was a good moment...doesnt compete to a walk off 41 yard TD in overtime.
I’m strictly Alabama Fan and A Tua fan but I really respect Kirby Smart and He really is an excellent coach! God Bless you and all your team players! They are blessed to have you!
That last play was pure genius. The TE Irv Smith on the left played a perfect decoy on the short coverage guys and occupied the safeties in order to get Devonta open. On another note, no other college football announcer has better diction than Eli Gold.
Josh Campbell can you imagine had IB2 had happened and that was the same ending? Their little tantrum on the late hit on Coker would have been a sane call.
Josh Campbell better than Barn?? 😆😆😆 Dude no one is worse than those 2 idiots trying to be even bigger one than that Fyffe character. No offense to the departed but he's the godfather of obnoxious play calling.
The Alabama announcers had every right to celebrate. The ga announcers thought they would be cute and make fun of Tua's name. I hope it left a bad taste in their mouth! Roll Tide!
despite Tua's lackluster performance in this year's match vs Clemson, I still cannot believe this game right here. For all the naysayers that say He folds under pressure... EAT THIS PERFORMANCE RIGHT HERE!!! DAMN. true freshman too
Ive been an Alabama fan all my life , this beautiful throw by Tua and a great catch by Devonta ..2 True Freshman was one for the ages,..I live out of the south now and didnt see many tide games this year,, I was pretty amazed at just how many guys on Alabama 2017 team ..that werent starters last year,..Nick Saban builds champions
I was at the game, and you could probably tell it on TV as well, but the mood of Bama fans when Tua went into the game was unbelievable....most all of us had been saying all year to play him. Then when he started shredding Georgia, their mood changed palpably. Georgia played an awesome game, and they couldn't have a better coach than Smart (except maybe Saban). Bama's offense looked completely different with him in there.
And please remember that Tua did NOT make all the good throws he could have when the receivers were open, nor did the receivers catch all his catchable throws. So Bama's offense COULD have done even better if the new quarterback and his wide-outs were sharper.
This is just about as textbook as you can get for a long pass. The ball was perfectly thrown and just drops into the receiver’s hands in stride. And we got his little brother coming up. RTR for life.
Even though Tua is a small quarter back, growing up he must have watched a Dan Marino game or highlight at some point. I have never seen a passing quick release and pocket presence like that since the days of Dan Marino. This kid is THAT GOOD of a passer. He's like Russell Wilson with the quick release of Dan Marino. Tua may get one or 2 more National Titles under his belt if he plays a full season like that game. Super high football X's and O's football IQ . He was looking off the safeties like an experience NFL quarterback. This kid is the real deal !
Adam he's also like A.J.McCarron who was a hell of a passer and won 3 National Championships with Alabama. One as a backup QB and two as the starter!!!;
I would have loved to have Keith Jackson around to call a game like this! I can hear him now..."Well folks, Bama has done it again"... here's a "Whoa Nellie" to you...RIP Keith Jackson!
The best moment of this video for me, other than the TD, of course, was the look of anguish and disgust that Finebaum tried to conceal when Alabama won.
What a fitting cap to Devonta Smith's Bama career in 2020 winning the Heisman, Biletnikoff, National Title.and obliterating every SEC/Bama/National receiving record
0:47 This was by far my favorite call by Eli! I can't recall a time when I ever heard him this excited! Plus, if you listen closely you can actually hear everyone in the announcer's booth high fiving each other and celebrating! The atmosphere was so palpable in that moment! ☺
One of these days this play is gonna get old. But today -- almost three months afterward -- is NOT that day! Alabama wins!!! Alabama wins!!! Tua to DeVonta!!! Alabama wins!!! Glory to the National Champions!!! Alabama wiiiiiinnnnssss!!!!!!!!! :-D
Nope, it will never get old. Remember Teague stripping the ball from that Miami receiver? Van Tiffin's kick? Goal line stand against Penn State? The classics never get old, only better.
November 9, 2019 - Still not old. Also, Jeff is right. I still watch George Teague stripping the ball from Lamar Thomas and get chill bumps. Of course that also has to do with the fact that leading up to that game all Miami did was run their mouths about how fast Thomas was and that no player can outrun him. George Teague disagrees.
I like when Saban said they ran Seattle .That last play was amazing throw. Ii can hear from all over the world when that ball was flying up in the air. Lol.
Remember tuas first series on a third and long he ran the ball and was surrounded by 3 or 4 dogs and shouldve been down short of the first down, then he spun left and got behind a couple of tide players who were aware enough to keep the play going.?yeah that was the play that got the crimson Rollin
I'm a Bama fan and never heard Georgia's radio broadcast of this before. I'm impressed with how professional they kept it. I like to think Eli Gold comes off the same way. He's a loved man in this state. Respect
Oh, they were dogging Tua when he got sacked. Saying, " how do you pronounce his last name? Tua tongue tied? Well his last name isn't gonna matter long..." and then " Sweet Jubilation, and the dogs were heartbroken. "
In the COACH"S ROOM, Mike Gundy of OSU never even blinked. It was like "I'm watching some game with two teams that are where I'll never be and I was so close that year." In 2011, Okla State was undefeated, ranked #2 after LSU beat Alabama 9-6 in Tuscaloosa and they beat Kan State 52-45 in Stillwater on Nov 5th then beat Texas Tech 66-6 the next week. But they lost at Iowa State 37-31 in 2OT's on a Friday Night ESPN game on Nov 18th and ended up in the Fiesta at #3 where they beat #4 Stanford. But only Alabama could win the college football national title game in overtime with a walkoff score. This was super sweet, #17. ROLL TIDE ROLL ONE MORE TIME.

I watched this play, over and over, all winter long. It always makes me smile.
Love the look on Finebaum's face and the coaches too! They were amazed and jealous as hell! That was my favorite part of the video! ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!
I was at the game... One of the sweetest moments ever! Watched it 100 times since. Never gets old. Roll Tide Forever!
That has got to be one of the smoothest plays by a quarterback I've ever seen.
Great receiver also
Tua & that class of wide receivers (Jeudy, D. Smith, Ruggs III, +) has already turned out to be a MONSTER recruiting haul, and they’re all still true sophomores- true freshmen when this game was played.
not a bad toss at all
After a bad sack. Gets up and slings it!!!
I here joe Brady I’m telling them this man name is tua Montana
It never gets old!
It hurts
John Wills NEVER GETS OLD!!!!!!
@@thandrew3451 Which coach at the end is Mike Gundy???
@@galeabernathy3921 The one frowning closest to the camera at the end. What a dick.
@@RadicallyOptimistic Oregon ?
It never gets old...and besides Eli Gold's take on it the Georgia radio guy saying "oh my God Alabama has won it"😂😂
Shawn McDonough had the best reaction. I could listen to him say "CAUUUUGHT" all day long. One of the greatest plays in sports history.
One of the best plays and emotionally charged moments in college football history!
“Alabama Wins”, in any language, is something I LOVE to hear!
Roll Tide!
Saban coming off the sidelines after that catch was my favorite moment ever. Going from pissed (previous play) to elated in about five seconds.
I’m just blown away how Smith ran the whole way watching the football and ran straight for the goal line catching that football just before he got there! That’s talent and many hours of practice and all those receivers do it! Amazing guys and we notice!
Ken Stabler was smiling in football heaven during this play.
I would be ashamed to admit the number of times I’ve watched this. Greatest game ever IMO. RTR!
I'm not ashamed....100's
You go girl. 8-)
How he played that safety was beautiful! The throw and catch in stride even more beautiful
"Three receivers right, one to the left, straight back to pass, going deep, Throwing It Down the Far Side LINE...and it is CAAAAUUUUUGHHHT For a TOUCHDOWN! Devonte Smith! Wins the National Championship. Down the left sideline and wide open behind the defense. One true freshman to another!" I love Eli and the Spanish dude, but Sean McDonough broke this down and owns this call forever. RTR.
feraldart Forever!!
Freshman to freshman takeover. I never get tired of watching this ending or the game.
Tua got great blockers on that final shot and when he threw that ball they stopped turned and watched it right into Smitty’s hands! Awesome shot!
Tua looking off that safety was a thing of beauty! You can really see it from the rear camera view...
I watch it at least once a week!! Greatest play ever in college football!
Best finish to a national championship game ever.
I agree, but the 1979 (1978 season) Sugar Bowl vs Penn State goal line stand is right there with this ending! RTR for life ...
2005 rose bowl doesn’t exist
@@becks1543 that game didn’t end on the Vince young run tho. And it was still regulation.
What about “Biggest 3rd down of Bryce Young’s career. Ya need 10. Play clock at 0:04. From the pocket… launching DOWN FIELD!! UNDER THROWN!! AND INTERCEPTED!! KELEE RINGO HAS AN ESCORT DOWN THE SIDELINE… ALL THE WAY TO THE ENDZONE!! AND GEORGIA IS GONNA CONQUER THE CRIMSON TIDE!!”
@LeskoBrandon2x I mean, Georgia had an 8 point lead. The interception was enough, returning it for a TD meant nothing. It was a good moment...doesnt compete to a walk off 41 yard TD in overtime.
Every hair stands up, every time I watch this. Absolute chills
I love the Georgia announcers the best. Lol
OMG ALABAMA HAS WON IT! LOL
Best camera angle to
"The dawgz are heartbroken" hahaha
Georgia just can't win the big game. Good program but everybody knew Bama was going 2 win...js
And that was after they had intentionally mangled Tua's last name making fun of it. It was a case of instant Karma.
Undoubtedly one of the greatest plays in the history of college football.
I watch this whenever I'm having a bad day, and my troubles vanish. RTR...
I’m strictly Alabama Fan and A Tua fan but I really respect Kirby Smart and He really is an excellent coach! God Bless you and all your team players! They are blessed to have you!
I love to listen to Eli Gold & he is great @ his job!
Smith made it look simple, I knew he was a great player!
DeVonta Smith what a career from beginning to end.
I could watch this over and over
I'd bet that I've watched this at least 500 times. RTR for life !!!
And it gets better all the time.
Don Garrett I might have that beat
Don Garrett Especially Shaun McDonough's play call. Love it.
I'll meet your 500 and go 650...
When ever I'm feeling down I watch this, or the night Trump won and it cheers me right up.....
Gundy’s non-reaction is priceless - still as a statue.
Swear best reaction buy the funds ever just nun at all
He looks like he is made of wax.
Sorry for late reply. Gundy's reaction is that of a good football coach that just knows he's not going to win at that level. Lol.
Watching this 3 years later is still great and now seeing Devonta getting the 2020 Heisman makes it even better RTR 🐘🌊
1:05 you can really see just how hard he looked that safety off. Then to quickly turn your head and throw an absolute rope is just pure talent/skill.
That last play was pure genius. The TE Irv Smith on the left played a perfect decoy on the short coverage guys and occupied the safeties in order to get Devonta open.
On another note, no other college football announcer has better diction than Eli Gold.
Michael Newton Gotta disagree with you on this. Shaun McDonald totally owned this call.
seeing this live and losing my mind with my dad brother and pawpaw is one of my fondest memories.
I never get tired of watching that play. ROLL TIDE! Love that reaction by the Georgia Radio announcer.
OSU coach at the end just angry and not phased 😂
But this is one of Chris Fowlers best calls
That was the most unbiased reaction as the losing teams radio ive ever heard. Better than auburn. Didnt blame refs or act childish or anything.
th-cam.com/video/5MuGAyZuTjw/w-d-xo.html
Josh Campbell can you imagine had IB2 had happened and that was the same ending? Their little tantrum on the late hit on Coker would have been a sane call.
Josh Campbell better than Barn?? 😆😆😆 Dude no one is worse than those 2 idiots trying to be even bigger one than that Fyffe character. No offense to the departed but he's the godfather of obnoxious play calling.
You don't have much experience with Georgia radio then.
Georgia broadcast crew kept it real and professional. Hat's off to them.
Unlike the previous play (the sack) when they clowned it up by mocking/making fun of Tua's name. It all worked out. It always does. Roll Tide.
Also---"OMG, Alabama's won it!" ---That didn't sound too professional to me. It sounded personal.
@@cothren6504 i know its been two years but does alabama announcers flipping their shit sound professional?
The Alabama announcers had every right to celebrate. The ga announcers thought they would be cute and make fun of Tua's name. I hope it left a bad taste in their mouth! Roll Tide!
Had no idea how good devonte Smith was going 2 be.....possibly the greatest college wr of all time!
This will be "legend" in Alabama history.
This will be legendary in all of college football!!!!
It really is
It totally is, the worst called came ever…totes legend
despite Tua's lackluster performance in this year's match vs Clemson, I still cannot believe this game right here. For all the naysayers that say He folds under pressure... EAT THIS PERFORMANCE RIGHT HERE!!! DAMN. true freshman too
Gundy lack of emotion shows the genuine hate he has for Bama. He was certainly rooting for UGA. #RollTide
as an Alabama fan this might be one of my favorite plays of all time
Ive been an Alabama fan all my life , this beautiful throw by Tua and a great catch by Devonta ..2 True Freshman was one for the ages,..I live out of the south now and didnt see many tide games this year,, I was pretty amazed at just how many guys on Alabama 2017 team ..that werent starters last year,..Nick Saban builds champions
This is an awesome collection of the various calls. Good stuff.

It was like a 10 yard pass as far as the time it took from Tua to devonte's hand. 50 yard rope that took like two seconds. Amazing pass for any QB.
Yet I keep hearing many fools questioning Tua’s arm strength. This play is just one of many that completely destroys that notion.
Just hearing that “TOUCHDOWN! ALABAMA WINS!!!” Still gives me ptsd flashbacks to this day 😂😂 man that one hurt
I could watch that day after day. It will never get old. My boys and I loved it!!!!!
This is just about as textbook as you can get for a long pass. The ball was perfectly thrown and just drops into the receiver’s hands in stride. And we got his little brother coming up. RTR for life.
I love ESPN radio's call! His voice is great!
At 1:21 Saban running across field with hands up. LOL Security Guards catching up with him. Just Classic!
We may never see him celebrate like that again. That was definetly the first time he has ever rushed the field.
@@thomasdaniels6824 nah. Go to the end of the 2013 LSU where he ran unto the field and jumped in AJ Mccarrons arms lol
Hard to pick a favorite between these 2 scenes you mentioned here
Truly never gets old. I come back to watch it at least 3 or 4 times a year
And now he's a Heisman Trophy winner!!!
No matter how many times I see this, it never gets old. Roll Tide!

Anyone here after Devonta won the Heisman?
Yep. Devonta is an amazing young man. Wish him all the best.
Yeah he's in the league making millions with the Eagles. Actually played in a Super Bowl last year.
I love watching this over and over
THIS will NEVER GET OLD!!!!!!!!!!!!! Loved it!!!
How bout this year
You can tell Greg McElroy had to contain himself from cracking a big smile. RTR!!
TUA froze that safety like an iceberg.
That safety I believe sank the Titanic
daygo demolitionUnit Come on Georgia fans, CHILL. Bwahaha!
Ahh this feels bad
No Georgia Had A LB Guarding Smith and the Free Safety was supposed to help out but looks as if he got confused
@@damonbigsby2901 he wasn't a linebacker. #14 Malkom Parrish was a cornerback
This play will never get old!! Roll Damn Tide!!🐘
A bunch of Bama freshmen stepped up big time!!
those coaches look like they was a part Dave Chappelle playa haters ball skit.
That was the best college game I have seen. USC vs. Texas, Oregon vs Auburn, Bama vs Georgia
The best moment of this video for me, other than the TD, of course, was the look of anguish and disgust that Finebaum tried to conceal when Alabama won.
That play never gets old.
This play should become just as iconic as the infamous kick 6 in 2013.
The difference being, Auburn choked their title game away.
What a fitting cap to Devonta Smith's Bama career in 2020 winning the Heisman, Biletnikoff, National Title.and obliterating every SEC/Bama/National receiving record
The end was great. Those coaches hated it.
Think Gundy lost money on that! Sounded like the Russian announcers did too😢
da
Dah
Was that Dan Marino that was looking on with a look of disgust, also?
0:47 This was by far my favorite call by Eli! I can't recall a time when I ever heard him this excited! Plus, if you listen closely you can actually hear everyone in the announcer's booth high fiving each other and celebrating! The atmosphere was so palpable in that moment! ☺
That play was called Seattle and that very same play was used against Georgia in 2012 in the SECCG.
ArrowJ Smith Now that you mention it, there was a 43(?) yard TD to Amari Cooper, freshman, on a very similar play in that game. Good eye!!
One of these days this play is gonna get old. But today -- almost three months afterward -- is NOT that day!
Alabama wins!!! Alabama wins!!! Tua to DeVonta!!! Alabama wins!!! Glory to the National Champions!!! Alabama wiiiiiinnnnssss!!!!!!!!! :-D

Nope, it will never get old. Remember Teague stripping the ball from that Miami receiver? Van Tiffin's kick? Goal line stand against Penn State? The classics never get old, only better.

Had to come here after 4th and 31...never thought I would witness anything like this again ❤❤❤
I re-watch this so many times just to see the OSU's coach face at the end.
When Saban got on Tua for taking the sack, Tua told him he just needed more room to throw. Saban said "That's not funny"!!!!! lol
Best comment
Paul Finebaum’s face at 1:59 is so satisfying. He hates Alabama and we hate him back!!
The Coach room was the best. They knew it was over as soon as the ball was in the air.
I like when Saban said they ran Seattle .That last play was amazing throw. Ii can hear from all over the world when that ball was flying up in the air. Lol.
“And it is.. CAAaaUUuUgGgHhT!!1!1”
What a performance by Tua. We may see him in the NFL in a few years.
Danny Taylor I'd like to think so too but he needs to grow about 3-4" and gain 15-20 lbs. He's only 18 so he has time to develop. Let's hope so.
All the coaches at the end had the faces of envy haha. They all want Alabama’s talent.
This never gets old :D
Remember tuas first series on a third and long he ran the ball and was surrounded by 3 or 4 dogs and shouldve been down short of the first down, then he spun left and got behind a couple of tide players who were aware enough to keep the play going.?yeah that was the play that got the crimson Rollin
craps 48 Actually, Tua went 3 and out his first series. You're talking about his 2nd possession.
I can’t stop watching this!!!
I'm a Bama fan and never heard Georgia's radio broadcast of this before. I'm impressed with how professional they kept it. I like to think Eli Gold comes off the same way. He's a loved man in this state.

Oh, they were dogging Tua when he got sacked. Saying, " how do you pronounce his last name? Tua tongue tied? Well his last name isn't gonna matter long..." and then " Sweet Jubilation, and the dogs were heartbroken. "
