Top Moments of the 2009 Season: The Sweet Sixteen - Peek vs Barron

…pretty easy choices for me, but this one is difficult. I think that the TD by Peek was very important in our win over Auburn, but the awesome display of teamwork and will, by Mark Barron, just barely edges it out.

That was impressive

the peek touchdown was awesome, but i mark barron is a beast in the secondary.

Most exciting play in football

…so the “excitement factor” on both was pretty high, but the Peek TD gets my vote. I just remember thinking, “Our tight end is pulling away from a DB!”

I loathe auburn something fierce, but I was at the game and saw Mark Barron pick that pass off and run it in. I remember still being in awe that I was finally in BDS after so many years of being away. The game had just started and before I knew it, Mark got that INT and I was immediately screaming and jumping up and down. The Peek catch and TD was just as awesome because we were down 14-7 and that tied us up…but I think that I have to go with Mark Barron simply because I saw it in person.

I know Peek’s was against Auburn but Barrons made me more happy in the fact that he showed up ready to play from the first snap till the last.

Peek = pitch and catch. I know he outran DBs, but his speed was the only exceptional thing about the play itself.

Barron = awareness, field vision, speed, on his part, and outstanding blocking by the rest of the team.

I was excited for both, and I know Peeks came against Auburn and all, but I had to go with Barron. As was said above, pick-6 is the most exciting play in football.

I like both plays equally.

Well, when the ball left GMac’s hand, I thought he’d overthrown Peek. Seemed like a great play by Peek to haul it in – kudos to Colin, grr at Greg. So mixed feelings.

I didn’t think Barron’s INT per se was a top-5 moment, but the way the entire Bama defense turned around and formed a convoy down the field, blocking and DOMINATING the whole way, and Barron broke two tackles and tightroped the sideline for the score. By the time Barron made it to the 20 there was a group of 5 or 6 Bama defenders in formation, leading the way and opening holes. It was like the whole play was called, start to finish, and Bama knew the formations and routes better. THAT is why that play made me happier, because it was a terrific team effort in a chaotic situation.

I love beating Auburn, but that’s why I voted for the Cody 5. Barron’s pick 6 was just amazing and man, look at that blocking

…was my Rolaids (spells relief), whereas Barron’s TD was whip-it-esque (spells dizzy glee)….
