Except for the fact that we had a blocked field goal and Iowa scored anyway so that drive and play ended up being meaningless.The most impressive was the run to the sideline where he stuck his foot in the ground & accelerated past the defender. It was simply unhuman.
The best?
I'd have to go with the leap. It was 3rd down and if Barkley doesn't get the first there, we're in a lot of trouble.

Not his best play, but probably the most impressive. He hurdled a guy, got hit by the next guy while still in the air, seemingly used the impact to stabilize and kept going.The hurdle was no better than his 4th best play.
I don't know if that was the "best" in terms of showcasing Barkley's off-the-charts abilities, but I think it was the most critical. If Barkley didn't get that first down we have to burn a time out, or clock the ball. Barkley's juke of Jewell and getting the first down and out of bounds likely allowed us to run 2 more plays in the game. Given that we scored on the last play with 4 seconds on the clock, who knows what would have happened had he not picked up that conversion when he did.So so so many but to me the late catch, stop and start on the final drive on Jewell to get out of bounds was enormous considering we scored. But man thats tough.
Barkley looked like a point guard on that play breaking down his man off the dribble. I haven't seen someone just go man-on-man in the open field against a tackler as solid as Josey Jewell and just eat him alive in as long as I can remember.So so so many but to me the late catch, stop and start on the final drive on Jewell to get out of bounds was enormous considering we scored.
