The Iconic Play during the 1993 Sugar Bowl, undefeated Alabama faced the top-ranked, trash-talking Miami Hurricanes. Miami receiver Lamar Thomas caught a pass and broke free, appearing to have a clear path to the end zone.The Chase: Alabama safety George Teague, starting deep down the field, sprinted across the turf and chased Thomas down.

The Strip: Just before the 5-yard line, Teague reached around Thomas, ripped the football away from his body, and secured it.The Irony: Though it remains one of the greatest plays in Crimson Tide history, it was technically wiped from the official record. Alabama was flagged for being offside on the play, and Miami accepted the penalty, negating the turnover. Despite the penalty, it stands as an ultimate symbol of hustle and grit.
