“What three games from college football history would have garnered the most shocked/euphoric/overjoyed/bewildered reaction from college football Twitter if they happened today?”
That was the question posed to Andy Staples of Sports Illustrated for his regular college football column, "Dear Andy."
Staples answered the query with a quartet of games — somehow he initially forgot the 1982 contest between Cal and Stanford, a game famous for the "The Play" — and the 1980 Holiday Bowl between the BYU Cougars and the SMU Mustangs topped the list.
The Cougars rallied, in incredible fashion, to defeat the Mustangs that day, led by quarterback Jim McMahon, and it was the fourth quarter comeback in particular that won over Staples.
