First Play of Years Past in Review

I'm ready for football and was just looking up first plays of years past. Here's a list since 1999 of our first offensive and defensive plays (excluding 2000 because the play-by-play wasn't on ramblinwreck.com).

September 4, 1999 @ Navy - Offense: Philip Rogers 5 yard run...Defense: Cordrea Brittingham 13 yard run.
August 26, 2001 @ Syracuse (East Rutherford) - Offense: Joe Burns 2 yard run...Defense: James Mungro 2 yard run.
August 31, 2002 vs. Vandy - Offense: Tony Hollings 6 yard run...Defense: Jay Cutler 1 yard rush.
August 28, 2003 @ BYU - Offense: PJ Daniels 8 yard run...Defense: Matt Berry 6 yard pass to Rod Wilkerson.
September 4, 2004 vs. Samford - Offense: PJ Daniels 7 yard run...Defense: Ray Nelson 6 yard pass to Omar Buchannon.
September 3, 2005 @ Auburn - Offense: Reggie Ball incomplete pass to Damarius Bilbo...Defense: Tre Smith -3 yard rush.
September 2, 2006 vs. Notre Dame - Defense: Darius Walker 3 yard rush...Offense: Reggie Ball 6 yard pass to Calvin Johnson.
September 1, 2007 @ Notre Dame - Defense: Demetrius Jones 7 yard rush...Offense: Tashard Choice 22 yards rush.
August 28, 2008 vs. Jacksonville State - Defense: Ryan Perilloux 6 yard pass to Maurice Dupree...Offense: Josh Nesbitt incomplete pass to Roddy Jones.

Any thoughts or general excitement about Tech's first play from the LOS?

Notre Dame hands down

There is no question

The college football season is so fragile. It's like a glass ball being pushed around from stadium to stadium by a rhinoceros.

I was split

I wanted to vote for both Auburn in 05 and ND in 07.

Auburn was coming off their undefeated season and at the time I lived in Huntsville, AL workig with a ton of Auburn fans. I remember them all laughing when I said we would win that game because they were preseason #3. I told one of my buddies that if we won, he better not come to work that following Monday, haha. It was glorious, mainly because iirc, Cox threw like four or so INT’s and we completely ripped them.

However, the ND opener in 07 was also filled with excitement because I was extremely pissed about how the 06 game ended. Two of the most ridiculous calls in the fourth quarter that extended their drive on fourth downs. That helmet-to-helmet on Quinn was completely bogus. Quinn lowered his helmet into the oncoming tackler, what else was the defender supposed to do, move out of the way? I was at the game since the wife was so awesome to buy us tickets for our anniversary (which is Sep 2nd). So yeah, I wanted hella revenge in 07.
