thanksgiving, Virginia tech..... we played like crap most of that game, won on a last play pass for a one pt win.... it led to nothing, we thought
we might be on the way to a bowl.

Vandy 2004, we were also down 24-7 to Arky in 2013 in the 3rd.

...while not a huge comeback numbers wise probably the #2 highlight of Shea's tenure was a 25-21 win at Pitt (also on their homecoming) in 1998 where we were down 21-7 at the half IIRC.

Not quite on par, but the USF game a few years ago where we were pretty much dead and buried in the 4th. I remember walking out of the stadium thinking "how the hell did we win that game?"

You can't really compare any to Ville from a meaningfulness perspective, but I would say the best otherwise was UConn, with Tim Brown scoring the TD after his best friend who played there was killed. Also, UConn was actually decent that year.

2011 (20-17 in OT with Deering's KOR-TD spurring the comeback). 17-3 with about 8 or so minutes left in the 4th, and our FG was set up by a USF-muffed 2nd quarter punt. Prior to our 2nd to last drive our offense did just about nothing of actual value. I love that win because it is a rare 'completely pulled THAT one out of our ***' win that usually works the other way for us (my Dad's quote: "Rutgers won the way they usually lost.")
