Re: What's your greatest comeback? Here's mine
It's the first game of year 4 in my Kentucky Dynasty. I am playing @Michigan State, since they stole the national title from me the season before. Let me briefly explain...I lost one game the whole year in the regular season @ UT(go figure lol) and then rebounded to defeat #1 and undefeated Alabama in the SEC Title game...I jumped from 10 in the polls to #2 in the AP but only to #6 in the coaches poll...thus allowing 11-1 Michigan State to play undefeated OU for the national title game. Michigan State didn't even win their conference, what a joke IMO.
Anyways, so I go in there and have a young team, 6 true frosh(but talented frosh) on D and a true frosh RB along with a veteran O-line, QB, and WR. I jump out 7-0, and am dominating, ball control drives, and drive to their 10 and on 3rd and goal my slow QB scrambles to the 3, breaks a tackle and I attempt to dive/hurdle into the endzone. Long story short, they force a fumble, boom 7-7. I went down eventually 35-13 in the third quarter after two pick 6's I threw.
I then began to rally. I scored and got a 2 point conversion to cut it to 35-21. I then stopped them, after forcing a fumble at midfield and drove and scored again, so 35-28. I get another stop and score again, 35-34...but my idiot kicker misses the extra point. So with 215 to go I'm thinking, I'm in trouble. They pick up 22 yards on their first play and I use my first time out. They run it on first down, I stuff them, second down, I stuff them, and then on third down...the QB throws across his body and its INTERCEPTED!!!...my nickle back races down the sideline and scores with 1:20 to go I think. I scramble on the 2 point conversion and throw it to back of the endzone and my WR makes a diving grab.
That said, it wasn't over...they rally on 4th and 15 and complete a long bomb to inside my 30. They then get into another 4th and 11 I think and I bat it down in the endzone and was able to run out the clock. 42-35 final....29 unanswered, all in the fourth quarter, in only 7 minute quarters. I was moving fast in that quarter, great no huddle usage and using the sideline to get out of bounds. I have other classics as well.
Coming back from 28-7 down to SC to tie it at 35-35 only to lose on a 55 yard hail mary on the last play by 7.
Rallying from 31-14 down against Bama in the SEC title game only to lose a thriller 44-41 in OT.
A defensive struggle in SC where they tie it with 25 seconds to go at 14 all, only for me to throw a hail mary to my flanker racing down the sideline to score with 2 seconds left.
And my most recent, in year 4, I escaped GA with a 26-23 win on the road with a last minute TD, after choking a 20-9 lead away with 4 minutes to go.
Good times.
