The Set-up

These are what we here at RBR considered the "Top" 16 plays of the 2012 championship season. I'm sure there are some that I forgot to include, sorry (not sorry). The plays are listed them 1-16 in a somewhat random order and is a single elimination contest.

The 2nd came later in the 3rd on a badly under thrown pass by AJ where Coop had to fight two UT defenders for the ball.

My god, the freshman.
