Utah Valley was down 54-30 in the fourth quarter and won 58-54...

Can we declare this the greatest comeback in indoor football history?

Here's what I've gleaned so far:

1) Dallas of the AFL erased a 37-7 deficit to beat Columbus in 2007
2) I know of a couple of 21-0 deficit.
3) Of course, greatest NFL comeback was 1992 Houston-Buffalo ... Oilers up 35-3 and lost 41-38
3a) Only 3 NFL regular season games feature comebacks of 25 or more.
4) Greatest college comeback: 2006 Michigan State-Northwestern... Spartans down 38-3 in third and win 41-38

FWIW, Abilene was down 27-9 at halftime against Odessa two weeks ago and came back to win it 36-33. I know it's only 16 points, but Abilene held Odessa to 6 total points in the 2nd half. And that was even after Odessa put their veteran starters back in in the 4th quarter.

However, it was an exhibition game, so you can call it however you want.

Preseason. Nope.

But I do want to congratulate you, Brandon, for the successful opening nights in El Paso and Abilene.

What?!! No love for Barry Wagner's Miracle Minute? Only THE most famous indoor game ever. Under a minute to go, his Orlando team behind, the dude scored (+ the 2PAT), recovered the onside kick, scored again (+ the 2PAT again), and made a crucial defensive stop all within the final 60 seconds of a game the Detroit Drive were winning.

There will always be props for Wags in my book and all those who appreciate indoor/arena football.

That was the greatest minute in the sports' history, but we're talking erasing a huge deficit.

I hearby declare Utah Valley's effort the greatest comeback in indoor football history. SO SAY WE ALL/

? There were no stipulations placed on your initial inquiry. If you want "time remaining" to now become a factor, consider this.

To score 16 points in 60 secs and stop the opposition from retaliating is HUGE. Prorating Utah Valley's 28 point 4thQ comeback only amounts to a little under 2 points per minute. A far cry from Wag's 16 points per minute.

Erego, Utah Valley's comeback still pales to Wags.

I beg to differ with you, for thou comparest apples to oranges.

Letteth me explain, no that taketh too long, let me summarize:

Again, Wagner's performance is the greatest individual performance in the sport.

I seeketh after the largest erasure of point-deficit...Hence, along these lines
