*** Official Husker Yards to Glory Thread ***

50-Eric Crouch run against Northwestern 2000 in Alamo bowl. If I recall NW had the lead for like 6 seconds until this run.

 
Not really that great but we don't have one for 15 yards yet so I'll toss out

Ruud's 15 yard fumble return for a TD to take the lead for good in the 3rd quarter against Okst. Bo Pelini's first Husker game on the sidelines and the defense comes up big keeping Okst to under 200 yards total offense and forcing 5 turnovers.

And I just can't bring myself to bring up a play from a game we lost...

 
Here's one for 86

The year- a dark time for Husker fans, 2004

The Game- Homecoming vs Mizzou 24-3 W, made Brad Smith look human

The Play- Cory Ross ices the game in the fourth(on a fairly icy day with the wind). I remember this run so clearly because there were about five times when the guy looked cornered, tackled, or trapped out of bounds. Each time there was a roar of the crowd, followed by an ohhh he's going down followed by another screaming roar when PorkChop keeps going.

 
Berringer scored from the 5, 10, and 24 yard line against Wyoming in 94. His touchdown against Miami was from 19 yards out though (can't use that because of the fumblerooski), and you can't use his sneak against florida because Tagge's sneak was way more important.

 
89: Frank Solich kickoff return vs. Okie State, 1964. There are a bunch of good 89 yd plays.

You must be young :P

I agree with an exception for Henery's 57-yard bomb.

 
49: Brandon Jackson screen pass vs Texas 2006.

Another 80: Dan Alexander run @ Colorado 1999 where he out-ran a Colorado sprinter. Major props to Alexander for that one.
