Joe_5700 Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 50-Eric Crouch run against Northwestern 2000 in Alamo bowl. If I recall NW had the lead for like 6 seconds until this run. 1 Quote Link to comment
wildman Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 It was declared an illegal play by the NCAA in 1992. I still don't understand why... They more or less declared it was illegal to 'accidentally' fumble the ball and have the guard pick it up and run. I agree with some of the plays we've had lately how can they tell if it was accidental or not lol. Quote Link to comment
irafreak Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 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... 1 Quote Link to comment

PaulCrewe Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 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. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hercules Posted August 3, 2011 Share Posted August 3, 2011 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. 1 Quote Link to comment
