I would have to say my favorite would be Quinns' 2006 4th quarter comeback at MSU. I was there it was pouring down rain and during a break in the downpour I placed my poncho on the bench and one of the MSU fans I was surrounded by stole it. It wasn't even close to being done raining. With about 10 minutes or so left of the 4th the MSU fans started leaving thinking they had it in the bag being up by 16. Taunting myself and the friend I was with saying don't win it without us. Well I never was one to listen. Quinn was 20-37 for 319yd with 5 tds and 1 int. It was quite possibly the most magical moment I have witnessed in person to see the stadium at MSU instantly die.

As for defense a notable moment was during the same game when Terrell Lambert intercepted Drew Stanton in the closing minutes and returned it for a touchdown. And then he intercepted Stanton again with less than a minute left to seal the game 40-37. That game still gives me goosebumps when I think about it.

I have to agree with Zorich against Colorado. That game was freaking awesome, until the penalty called as rocket streaked 75 or so yards to the end zone on a return. I felt so deflated after I saw the flag. The only other time I remember going so fast from high to low was against usc near the end zone it looked looked like they were stopped at the 3 yard line on the qb sneak before the asshat white shoved leinert into the end zone.
