What's the biggest playoff comeback?

Post by DuckDuckGriz »

Griz down 41-14 in the second half now up 61-48 with seconds left.

Just curious -- only one I can think of is Sam Houston's win in Cheney in 2004.

I don't know if that was the biggest comeback in playoff history, but it was one of the greatest games in Montana history. The Griz put 34 points up in the 4th quarter. Amazing. Marc Mariani is unreal.
FIRST DOWN.....MMMMOOOONNNNTTTTAAAANNNNAAAA!!!!

Does this comeback trump Frank Reich?

With the University of Maryland, Frank Reich led a comeback victory after being down 31-0. With the Buffalo Bills, he led a comeback victory after being down 35-3 just after halftime. His record for the biggest comeback in college was surpassed by Michigan State in 2006 (?), who led was down 38-3 but won 41-38.

I was, of course, referring to Reich's incredible playoff win vs. the Oilers.

Hens were on the losing side of what had to be one of the worst in 2004. Up 21 entering the 4th quarter to W&M, lost in OT. :thumbdown:
