knapplc Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 8. Nebraska WR Jordan Westerkamp's behind the back catch vs. FAU Your Catch of the Year came all the way back in Week 1, when Westerkamp used some intense concentration to haul in this behind-the-back grab along the sideline. 3. Nebraska RB Ameer Abdullah scores on screen play to beat McNeese State McNeese State had Nebraska on the ropes late in Week 2, so the Cornhuskers decided to turn to their star tailback with the game on the line. With less than 40 seconds on the clock, Abdullah takes a short pass in the flat, bounces off about 100 defenders and finds paydirt to get his team the win.

Hard to argue with either of them being included. Both were really fun plays to watch. Click the link if you want to watch the plays, or see the other eight plays. Quote Link to comment
JTrain Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 That was a screen like Pierson-El to Tommy was a double reverse pass. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 If it's a choice between the sizzle and the steak, we'd probably prefer the steak. But it's pretty fun how much sizzle Nebraska has been generating this year. Even the Westerkamp flat-out-on-his back catch that got called back on a penalty is used in rotation on Big 10 highlight compilations. Quote Link to comment

One of the best may not even make many replays after this week: Armstrong's Jordanesque 9 yard near-miss TD leap. Too bad it came up an inch short. Quote Link to comment
zoogs Posted October 20, 2014 Share Posted October 20, 2014 That Armstrong leap was featured on Yahoo! Sports frontpage under Dr. Saturday as "one of the most athletic plays you'll see a QB make." Quote Link to comment
