WATCH: Notre Dame Ranks Top 10 Kick/Punt Returns (We React)

Timmy Brown went on to win the Heisman Trophy in 1987 and the campaign got kick-started with a pair of punt returns against Michigan State that season, a team that would go on to win the Big Ten en route to the Rose Bowl.  I’m more on Team Rocket here than Team Timmy

OK.  There is a kick/punt return that didn’t make the top ten but should really be the top on the list.

That is, had it actually counted as a touchdown.

Was it a clip?

Heck no.

But the Colorado player sure as heck does a great job selling it as one.  He knew he had no chance at catching Ismail and knew on the spot that was his only shot at saving a touchdown.

And he somehow did.

Ugh.

Sorry for ruining an otherwise fun list.
