Coach Gary Pinkel and the Missouri Tigers pulled out all the stops against No. 7 Georgia in Athens, none more entertaining than a fourth-quarter, 40-yard trick pass into the end zone for what proved to be game-sealing play. The Tigers went on to win 41-26.
Leading by just two points (28-26) following the Bulldogs' failed two-point conversion and playing with backup quarterback Maty Mauk, Pinkel's offense turned to Bud Sasser, a junior wide receiver, to put the ball high into the air.

Sasser's rainbow throw off the screen went to 6-foot-4 wideout L'Damian Washington, who was probably held on the play but eventually pulled this off:





Missouri held off the Bulldogs late to complete its first road win over a top-10 team since Oct. 3, 1981.
