DALLAS (FWAA) – Florida Citrus Sports and Pop-Tarts has teamed up to present the Pop-Tarts ‘Crazy Good’ Play of the Week during the 2023-24 college football season. Each week the winning play was selected in conjunction with the Football Writers Assocation of America.
This new weekly award celebrated the incredible athleticism, awe-inspiring strategy and jaw-dropping “did you see that?” moments from college football each week.
A select committee of FWAA members has honored one outstanding play each weekend during the regular season. Fans nominated and voted on their favorite play through Pop-Tarts Bowl social media accounts (@PopTartsBowl).
Alabama is the winner of the Pop-Tarts Crazy Good Play of the Week for Week 13.
Locked in a heated Iron Bowl battle at SEC rival Auburn, the Tide faced a 4th-and-goal from the Auburn 31 in the game's final minute with its College Football Playoff hopes on the line.
Quarterback Jalen Milroe, who threw for 259 yards and two scores and ran for another 107 yards, calmly sat in the pocket and found Isaiah Bond in the back corner of the end zone for the dramatic winning score with 32 seconds left.
Alabama finished the SEC schedule a perfect 8-0, the sixth time under coach Nick Saban that it has been unbeaten in SEC play.
For the 2023 season, the FWAA has announced the Pop-Tarts Crazy Good Play of the Week after the conclusion of all games each week. There were 13 teams honored this year. The winning team received a care package of Pop-Tarts pastries to celebrate its win. All NCAA Division I schools were eligible to be selected.
The Pop-Tarts Crazy Good Play of the Week follows Pop-Tarts entry into college football with the Pop-Tarts Bowl, organized and managed by Florida Citrus Sports.
