Favorite forgotten moments from the past few seasons

This is probably mine. From the 2011 PSU game . . . huge. Just huge.

Biggest play: Lavonte David's stop of Silas Redd on 4th and 1 from the Penn State 37 with 1:49 left. The Nittany Lions trailed 17-14 and had all the momentum after scoring two touchdowns to get back in it, and they handed the ball to their best player on the game's biggest play. But Nebraska's star defender was better and made a great, everything-he-had tackle. That play was an illustration of why David is the Big Ten's best linebacker.

Random but in the third quarter (I think) against Mizzou in 2010, Nu stopped them four times in a row with goal to go and Bo went nuts, as well as the rest of the sideline in celebration

It's always just stuck out to me for some reason.

it was an important moment. we were playing well and the game was out of reach, but that was the final nail in the coffin. if they would have scored there, they could have made it a game. and it was impressive how they showed so much grit knowing that, because i think a lot of teams would have gotten complacent with the lead they had.

Not only did we stop them but Mizzou self-destructed in typical Gabbert fashion as well with those downs.

I was sitting in the stadium in Iowa City with some Iowa fans when Crouch sprung on the scene. When he laid the wood to a poor unsuspecting DB on a long TD run, it told me right there we had something special.

Another fun moment about that game. In typical fashion, my Hawkeye friends were fairly optimistic about a win that day. But, they hadn't wanted much Husker football. Right before kickoff, I leaned over and asked, have you ever seen a linebacker return kicks? They had a dumbfounded look on their faces. I simply said.....you are about to.

They sat pretty quiet the entire game.

Quenton Castille hit versus USC. A rare highlight from the 2007 season.

It's not huge in the epic sense, but I remember thoroughly enjoying the trials and tribulations of one Russell Bellomy in the second half of the 2012 Nebraska-Michigan game.

3/16, 38 yards, 0 TD's, 3 int's, QBR: 0.6

We never saw it, but hearing how Armstrong went up to Westerkamp after his muffed punt against Michigan and said:

“You saved our butt last week (after the Hail Mary), I got you this week. Our offense is gonna march down there, we're gonna win it.”

Then they went and scored the game winning TD. I don't know if Armstrong is going to be a great QB, but that showed me he was a great leader. And despite the many "problems" a lot of us fans can point out. His 7-1 record as a starter is not by accident.

In addition, his audible on the 4th down to throw to Bell and keep the drive alive.

Ciante Evans delivered a huge hit to keep Gabbert out of the endzone.

Mizzoue 2010 came to my mind as well but for another reason. Anybody remember how they got the ball to start both halves and couldnt really do much about it.

I don't remember that happening at Mizzou, but I do remember that happening against Oklahoma St. To my understanding, this can happen if one of the captains says the wrong thing. Like, if we win the toss and instead of saying we "defer" to the second half, we say something like we'll kick off or something to that nature, then we've used our option to choose right there for the second half.

It's dumb, it's confusing. Honestly, whoever gets the ball to start the game should be required to kick off to start the second half. But, I guess a little word mix up can screw you.

Mizzou 2010 was in Lincoln, Im pretty sure I remember it happening at home against them.

Also I gotta add Taylors rediculous run during the Wiscy debacle of 2012
