The 2011 college football season had its highs and lows. From the infamous Penn State allegations to Ohio State suspensions, scandal rocked the 2011 season. However, the turmoil certainly did not ruin what we know and love about college football: Cinderella stories (Houston), hometown success (Stanford), and of course, sensational plays. Feel free to share your favorite moments of the season in the comments section below.

10. We all knew he could throw and run like few others, but here, local hero Andrew Luck shows off a new side of his football talent, impressive catches. In this one-handed beauty, the former Heisman-favorite picks up a clutch first down in a game he added 227 yards throwing as well. Have fun with this superstar, Colts.

9. The Honey Badger gets what the Honey Badger wants and here it is a 62 yard punt return to help the Tigers win the SEC championship game and secure a BCS Championship berth. This punt return towards the end of the first half features countless broken tackles and typical Tyrann Mathieu magic. We are only at #9 guys.

8. What’s better than a Hail Mary to win the game? One between two top-tier teams that is first called no-good, but then ruled a TD with review, I love technology.

7. Alshon Jeffrey may have two first names, but he only needs one hand to make this over-the-shoulder catch and put 6 points on the board for the Gamecocks.

6. In one of the more unique plays of the year, Arkansas’ Alonzo Highsmith proves LSU isn’t as perfect as we thought. Despite this great hit-and-catch sequence, the Razorbacks couldn’t hold on to their lead. Excuse the poor video quality.

5. If we gave every Trent Richardson highlight its own spot on this countdown, we would need a top 15. So as #5 I included 2 of his top runs of this year (#3 in this video is from last year). I still cannot get over his juke in the second run, watch and be amazed.

4. Surprisingly, Heisman-winner Robert Griffin III’s top 10 appearance comes off a should-be incomplete pass, untill Kendall Wright came along. In one of the best (and longest) tipped pass and catches I have ever seen, Wright turns 3rd and long into touchdown and gone.

3. In this year’s best hail mary, Boise State’s Kellen Moore heaves up a bomb right before halftime and jogs to the locker room with another 7 points. This is what you call right place at the right time.

2. Arkansas’ senior Joe Adams could have called for a fair catch on this punt; then again he could’ve broken more than 5 tackles and ran it back for the touchdown.

1.It’s safe to say that Marshall’s Aaron Dobson made the best catch, college or pro, of this year. This gravity-defying grab puts me at a loss for words and wraps up the countdown perfectly.
