Great choice. Such an unbelievably gutsy call. To just put the ball on the ground, right at the line of scrimmage. Soooo much could go wrong, but they ran it to perfection. T.O. was a genius.

drfish Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) 4th quarter, 1971 Orange Bowl. Night game. Texas and tOSU had lost earlier in the day. Nebraska is down 12-10 to the LSU tigers. Nebraska moves down the field and has the ball 1st and goal. They run Jeff Kinney, who takes the ball to just inside the 2. 2nd and goal, Tagge sneaks to the 1/2 yardline. 3rd and goal, Tagge sneaks and looks like he might be short, but he is on the pile and sticks the ball out over the goal line for a TD to take the lead. That was the first game I ever saw in color. My parents took me in to my Grandmother's house because she had color and we only had a B&W set. Wow what a game. Nebraska's first MNC (AP only cause the final UPI didn't include bowl games) Edited December 11, 2017 by drfish 3 Quote Link to comment

neepster Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 If I remember correctly, we ran this same play 2 years in a row on the first play from scrimmage against CU and scored a TD each year. Extra credit for having the incomparable Tommy Frazier and Ahman Green run it. Bonus points for doing it against Neuheisal (aka Sweater Boy). 2 Quote Link to comment

Great full day of football, watching the dominos fall just right so that if we won, we'd be on top. Great memory. Quote Link to comment

TGHusker Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) Schlesinger's 2nd TD - against Miami . This got alllllll of the monkey's off of Tom's, NU's and Husker Nation's back. Tom finally won the big one. After that 95 and 97 were icing on the cake and were for bragging rights (95 greatest team ever, 97 team - would have trounced Michigan, etc). This touchdown and this game gave final validation to a program that had come so close so many times under Tom - one play away in 93,83,82 and one game away on several other occasions. It is only fitting that the TD came on this trap play, by the Fullback - a demonstration of the deceptiveness of the option and the power of our running game. Notice the downfield blocking by the WR and of course the OL blocking - creating a large opening. Edited December 11, 2017 by TGHusker 2 Quote Link to comment

Ahmad Green 57 yard option TD run... I believe Tom called it in the lock room before the game. He had that play called as the first play and knew it would go big if Colo came out in a certain defensive set. It did - TD. He also predicted what was going to happen in the 2nd half of the Miami game in 94 - they would get tired, they would have a personal foul at a critical point of the game, that our players were not to react but remain calm and that we'd wear them down and win it in the 4th. 1 Quote Link to comment
grandpasknee Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 Was trying to look up 'Husker Lineman pancake block" and this one came up. Joel Wilks vs Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson in the Miami game. This is the play right before the fullback trap up the middle for the score! Good stuff. 2 Quote Link to comment

The QB facemask bent inward and if memory is correct, knocked the guy out of the game. He got hit high and low. It would be targeting or roughing today. At the 49 second mark. This one was pretty darned hard too! 2 Quote Link to comment
beorach Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 (edited) I think I saw a wilder play, along these lines, earlier in the video but this was the one I remembered: 2:32 mark of this one (having technical difficulties) Pass while in the grasp Edited December 11, 2017 by beorach 1 Quote Link to comment
