Here are several others:

Olden Days:

1. John Lujack – touchdown-saving tackle against Army in the Game of the Century 0-0 tie. It’s not often a Heisman winner’s career is remembered for a single play
2. Joe Perkowski – Game winning FG in controversial 17-15 win over Syracuse. A roughing the kicker penalty was called on the original attempt as the clock expired. We were allowed an additional try, which was not in the rules at that time. Syracuse president request to Father Ted that we forfeit the win
3. Nick Eddy – Kickoff TD against Purdue in 1966. Purdue was very good, led by Bob Griese, and had scored a potentially back-breaking TD on a fumble return as we were scoring. Turned around the game in NC season.
4. Andy Pilney, Bill Shakespeare, and Wayne Millner – Last second touchdown against tOSU in 1935 in one of the first national radio broadcasts. Pilney was hurt on a last second scramble. Shakespeare tossed game-winning pass to Millner as we scored 3 TDs in last quarter to win 18-13.
5. Frank Varichione – Lineman from Leahy era and later good pro. We tied Iowa 14-14 in 1951. Our TDs were scored at the end of both halves abetted by the Fainting/Feinting Irish when linemen had injuries to enable clock stoppages and no TOs left.
6. Bill Gay (I think) – In another Leahy tie, this time with Southern Cal. He asked the ref how much time was left in the game before receiving the KO and when told there was 1:30 left, he said that was enough and returned the kick over 80 yards to set up tying score.

7. Stephon Tuit – outrunning Navy backfield on his fumble recovery touchdown
8. Shawn Wooden – pass breakup at the end of 31-24 victory over FSU
9. Trevor Laws and Darren Walls – 3 or 4 lateral TD interception at the end of the first half against Stanford that was nullified by a BS penalty against Trevor
10. Miles Boykin – predict the TD catch against LSU will fall in this list and perhaps the Finke catch against Michigan last year
11. Torii Hunter Jr – textbook missed targeting call
12. Luther Bradley (?)- welcoming Lynn Swann to South Bend
13. Terrell Lambert – 2006 MSU game interception. The ball had been batting and was lying on the back of the prone receiver. The camera view was blocked by players at the sideline, and the announcer called in incomplete, not realizing Terrell had grabbed the ball. His earlier pick-6 might have qualified them as we rallied from down 37-20 with little time left to 40-37.
14. Greg Davis – the questionable or borderline call on Rocket’s TD against Colorado
15. Huntley Bakich – Lou’s embarrassing sideline moment
16. Cam McDaniel – fumble while running out the clock, made worse by decision to go for 2 with an 11 point lead
17. Mike Ragone – chasing down a Washington State player trying to return a blocked extra point (might have preserved a shutout)
18. Steve Cichy – Blocked field goal TD against Houston in Joe’s “Chicken Soup” game that put us in range for a famous comeback
