The battles started to get tough in the sweet sixteen and expect to only be tougher in this round, especially this one! It's obvious that both are great to make it this far, but only one of these can advance to the Final Four. Nearly everyone will love both of these, just love the other more. This Battle, for the Championship of the Scotsman Regional is

2 Seed, From 2014, Zach Vigil tackling the Air Force quarterback and running back on the same play, then following that up with a sack the next play.

VS.

4 Seed, From 2011, Stanley Morrison converting TWO fake punts against Hawaii and catching a touchdown between two defenders.

Vigil gets my vote because that moment was part of a 26 tackle game.

Gotta go with Stanley here. The Miracle on the Islands was the turning point of Aggie football for the next decade, and we needed every one of Stanley's great plays to make it happen. The first one with his legs, the second with his arm (never noticed before that Bobby Wagner was the intended receiver on the tip that Joe Hill caught), the third with his hands, pulling that ball in after it went through UH double coverage.

Zach's plays were eye-popping plays from a tremendous player -- on the first one he sheds the blocker, disrupts the handoff, and drags down the ball carrier (on what looks like was intended to be a double reverse - notice 8 coming around from the left side) -- but late in a game we were going to win either way.

These are two of my favorite things I've ever seen in an Aggie football game. Tough choice!

Even though I seeded Stanley lower, I gave him the edge simply for being things we needed to do to win while Zach's play was in a game we were going to win either way. But I did seed Zach higher because of how much that is talked about.

This has been a predictably good tight battle so far! Zach had a lead at one point, but Stanley has came back

Both great plays but I have to go with Vigil. My favorite defensive play I've seen in an Aggie game.... except maybe Jake Doughty absolutely LAYING OUT that Colorado State kicker.
