Last week, we looked at the best wins and worst losses during the Mike Riley era of Nebraska football. It sparked some good discussion, and we have 3 and a half more months of the offseason, so this week, let's take a look back and discuss the best wins of the Bo Pelini era. This list wasn't as difficult as the Riley list was, since there were actually more than two quality wins to pick from.
Game 1- 2009 Oklahoma: one of the most dominant defensive performances in program history. A nice response to the thrashing we took in 2008

Game 2 - 2010 Kansas State: the national reveal of Taylor Martinez. Absolutely crushed KSU in prime time on a Thursday night.

Game 3 - 2011 Ohio State: helped by an injury to Braxton Miller, the offense answered the bell in the 2nd half, and it includes one of my absolute favorite Rex Burkhead moments.

Game 4 - 2012 Wisconsin 1: Another comeback on national TV. Ignore the uniforms and marvel at the backfield combo of Martinez, Burkhead and a young Ameer Abdullah.

Game 5 - Miami 2014: "Bloodthirsty" is the best way I can describe this game. We FINALLY got Miami in Memorial Stadium, and the old girl (and the team) rose to the occasion.

Voting will be open for a week, and if there is a game which you think fits the bill better, please vote "Other" and describe it in a post. Thanks!
