A few others that haven't been named (in no particular order):
- Orlovsky's 2-point conversion to Keron Henry at Kent State with no time left on the clock to send the game to overtime. The pass was intentionally underthrown to Henry's back shoulder... perfectly executed. UConn would win in overtime with an Orlovsky to O'Neil Wilson touchdown pass.
- Terry Caulley's run against Florida International (I believe) at Memorial Stadium where he literally broke like 13 tackles.
- Perkins' Pick-6 of Tyler Palko during the first night game at the Rent. That play really set the tone for an electric night.
- O'Neil Wilson's touchdown catch at Army where he broke one tackle, side stepped another, spun off another and dove into the endzone.
- Chris Meyer's Pick-6 against Ohio at Memorial Stadium. UConn was behind for the majority of the game but that play turned the momentum in UConn's favor.
- Orlovsky's 4th and about 12 completion to Shaun Feldeisen with less than a minute left against Akron at the Rent where he split two defenders. UConn's hopes were kept alive and Nuzie kicked the game winning field goal as time expired.
- Robert McClain's punt return touchdown against Cincy when UConn was in "punt safe" and basically nobody blocked for him. UConn still lost the game but it was great individual effort.
- Jazz had a couple of diving interceptions, one against North Carolina I believe, that were things of beauty.
- Walt Harris calling "The Slide" in 2004. Pitt has a third down just outside of UConn's 10 yard line. Instead of risking a turnover, Harris tells Palko to "slide" to the right to set up a better angle for the field goal. The field goal was good but once that happened, everyone knew UConn was going to win.
- And last but not least, Jim Leavitt and South Florida's Voodoo 5 in 2005 (see here for more details). South Florida's hopes for a conference championship and a BCS game were dashed.
I almost mentioned Voodoo 5. That was as gutsy a win by a team without weapons as I remember.
The Feldeison catch against Akron followed Akron, miraculously, throwing two incomplete passes when they got the ball back after a missed Nuzie game winning FG attempt, that allowed us to keep time outs and make the last drive work.
The JP pick 6 against Pitt absolutely needs to be remembered. Although to some extent it was overshadowed by the remarkable day that Tyler King had before breaking his leg.
If you are just talking about great plays, as opposed to great plays that led to great wins, add TC's full somersault over an Army defender at West Point for 6.
And the one play, surprisingly, that still hasn't been mentioned until now is the Orlovsky bomb to O'Neill Wilson (I think) on the first play from scrimmage on the way to the remarkable rout at Wake Forest to cap the 9-3 season in '03.
