Title: Cornell Football on list of 100 moments that define college football
Post by: johnny923 on June 29, 2007, 03:04:57 AM
Cornell made it in there at number 38 for Pete Gogolak's soccer-style kicking and number 35 for forfeiting the game to Dartmouth because they had a 5th down.

Sorry...it was by Ivan Maisel on espn.com.  

And just in case anybody was wondering, number one was the Doug Flutie hail mary.  One of my personal favorites, Boise State's trick plays last year, finished 15th.

But what did Colorado get for not forfeiting theirs?

Colorado's 5th down win got them number 51 and (if memory serves) a national championship.

Frankly, I don't think the 5th down forfeit in any way "defines" modern college football. The Miami brawl last year might be a better candidate.
