What immediately comes to mind is RAT king Tanner Leggett. Can you imagine how Texas felt when some tiny (sorry Mr. Leggett) pinch hitter comes in and ropes a drive in left center to send them home and us to the championship series.
That QB was the king of RATs. Dude comes in and throws a perfect TD pass and is never heard from again. I believe he may have played a few downs in mop up duty for a non-SEC game after that.
My memory was that he was their third string. I feel like one of the QBs above him was recently out prior to the game and the other got injured during the game, but I was also like 15 and don’t remember
That guy.

Ha. A walk-on off the bench drops a dime. The most Mississippi State thing ever.
This is 100% correct. I was there. Trace it back to the beginning and there's an ezboard post I made about it, if those are even still searchable.
Here's a vid of that game. Go to 2:34:08 to see the play where the starting QB gets hurt (hyperextended knee). The very next play (4th and 10), their backup QB comes in and drops a dime to their WR from 25 yards out.
2000 MSU football was 8-4 lost 3 games by a total of 18 points - this crap at USCE 23-19, LSU 45-38 in overtime in Red Stick, & Arkansas in Starkville 17-10 in OT plus 45-30 @ Ole Miss in a torrential downpour (Wayne Madkin flu game). It was really a weird season - crazy weather with hottest game I've ever attended @ Memphis, near monsoon level rain @ Ole Miss, & The Snow Bowl plus 3 overtime games. What could have been in 2001?
