Top 15 games of the year by ESPN

9. Oklahoma 59, West Virginia 56, Week 13


Oklahoma outlasts West Virginia in offensive thriller
Will Grier throws for 539 yards and accounts for five total TDs, but Kyler Murray and the Oklahoma Sooners come out on top 59-56.





Will Grier and Kyler Murray put on an offensive show in this battle for a spot in the Big 12 title game. Grier threw for 539 yards and four touchdowns. Murray totaled 478 yards and four scores of his own. There were six lead changes and just three punts. It was Big 12 football at its finest.

3. West Virginia 42, Texas 41, Week 10


West Virginia scores late, wins on two-point conversion
After a Will Grier touchdown connection to Gary Jennings Jr. and Texas calling timeout, Grier runs it in for the Mountaineers' 42-41 victory.





"Want to win the game? Let's go win the f---ing game." And with that, Dana Holgorsen uttered arguably the best quote of the season before West Virginia won one of the best games of the season. Grier had just rallied West Virginia back from a 41-34 deficit, but rather than boot the PAT and head to overtime, the Mountaineers wanted to win it right there. That had been the plan from the moment the drive started, and Holgorsen's words to his QB set up all the drama at the end, where Tom Herman's timeouts added to the tension, and Grier's legs sealed the win.
