Siouxperman Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Sorry If this has been posted before. Best Damn Sports show showed their top 100 football plays of all time including high school, college and pro. The Huskers had quite a showing. In their top 100 Crouch run against Missouri Steinkhuhler fumblerooski Michigan last ditch kickoff return Davison catch against Missouri Frazier run against Florida The last two, I believe were in the the top 10. To be featured in 5% of the top plays of all time, high school, college and pro, suggests quite a wild ride!! Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Thanks for the info. I would of thought that Taylor's fake timeout last year from the sCUm game would of been in there. Quote Link to comment
cmb23 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Thanks for the info. I would of thought that Taylor's fake timeout last year from the sCUm game would of been in there. It was good....but been done too many times. I was surprised to see us run it as I thought they banned that play. I know you can't do it in the NFL (See Kordell Stewart & Pittsburgh).

Thing is...I'd have to say that Boise St. would have to have 2 of the top 10 of all time...and they did it in one game!!! Quote Link to comment
Siouxperman Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Boise State with two in one game.....good point Anyone remember when John O'Leary ran in untouched against Mizzou on a fake punt.? I believe that the ball was short snapped to a blocker who hid it beneath is posterior then O'Leary took it from him... Florida State did the same thing a few years later and their play made it into the top 100..... Quote Link to comment
Siouxperman Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 Sorry, My bad....It was the top 50 plays....thus of the millions of football plays every executed, the Huskers are involved in 10% of the best ever!! Quote Link to comment
BigBL87 Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 Michigan last ditch kickoff return It wasn't actually a kickoff return if it's the one from the recent Alamo Bowl. It was actually a play from scrimmage, a hook and ladder play if i recall. Anyway, that is awesome that we have that many in there. Quote Link to comment

IMO they played to a stage that they thought that they could either win or be a mid-major could of been and they took the chance and played for broke and won. It kind of reminded me of all the times that the Hillbillies won because of "Sooner magic" but this time they were on the short end. Quote Link to comment

Siouxperman Posted May 15, 2007 Author Share Posted May 15, 2007 By the way, CU's Hail Mary against Michigan received "honorable mention" ....and OU's interception of Sims at the goal line made the top 50.. Quote Link to comment
Ericinho Posted May 15, 2007 Share Posted May 15, 2007 OU's Chris Simm's Superman Interception I thought should have made the list in the bottom 5. That play still kinda shocks me, it was AWESOME! Also I'm surprised Crouch's TD catch against OU in 2001 wasn't on the honorable mention. I say HM, because yeah a lot of teams have done it, but to seal the victor in #2 vs #3 game is HUGE.

Ohio Pete Posted May 16, 2007 Share Posted May 16, 2007 That was called the "Bummerooski," named after Bum Phillips, from which TO's Fumblerooski derived. Or vice versa. I know Bum Philips ran Bummerooski (thus the name) when he coached, but I see references the Fumblerooski, which the NFL banned in the 60s, all the way back to Heismann. Quote Link to comment

I know Bum Philips ran Bummerooski (thus the name) when he coached, but I see references the Fumblerooski, which the NFL banned in the 60s, all the way back to Heismann. The first time NU ran the Fumblerooski was in 1979 against Oklahoma, when Randy Schleusner took the ball 15 yards for a score. They claimed they got the play from films of Texas high school football. Personally, I don't understand why the two plays are mentioned together as they are nothing like each other, except they end in "rooski." The Bumarooski (or Bummerooski) is a fake punt play where the ball is snapped to an up-back, who hands it forward to a blocking back who just stands with it for a count or two. I know guys are saying he sticks the ball between his knees and stuff, but in Nebraska's case, the ball was just stuffed forward to john O'Leary (as I recall) who waited for the kick rush to pass, and then ran for a TD just before halftime against Mizzou.

hack Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Thanks for the info. I would of thought that Taylor's fake timeout last year from the sCUm game would of been in there. the list was greatest plays, not the top "hilarious pranks pulled on an opposing team's coach when he's 2-5 in conference play just to prove how 'out-of-his-league' he really is" plays. were that the case, it would have been number one.
