cg_8 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 I'm the only one for Tommie?!? Have to go with Tommie. I have to go with a performance during a meaningful game. It doesn't get better than a legendary performance, during a legendary season against the #2 (#1 maybe) team in the country for the National Championship. Tommie was the epitome of dominance during the most dominant season ever. Honestly, can't go wrong with any of them. Quote Link to comment
Eric the Red Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Ameer vs Miami Bumped into 2nd place total yards school history 35-229; 3 TDs 1-3; 1 TD One of my favorite games to watch: Miami at Nebraska 1 Quote Link to comment

Eric the Red Posted June 29, 2015 Author Share Posted June 29, 2015 Forgot about this one as well. Calvin Jones had rushed for a Nebraska record of 294 yards on 27 carries, and scored a Big Eight-record six touchdowns for another record of 36 points — all in less than three quarters of play. November 9, 1991 - #11 Nebraska @ Kansas Just watched it.....awesome 3 quarters of dominant football. Watch the option play at 2:28 first series........classic Even though the Huskers were down by 17 after the first. Huskers are still getting 5 yards a pop on the run, Quote Link to comment
NUance Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Probly not a candidate for the best game. But the best single offensive quarter might be Cory Schlesinger's two fourth quarter TDs vs. Miami in the '95 Orange Bowl to win the MNC. LINK1 LINK2 Not sure if any other RB scored two rushing TDs against that Miami defense all year. : Quote Link to comment

papersun87 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Voted Tommie because national championship but Taylor's Okie State game is right there (or his K-State or Washington games, heck). Quote Link to comment
Landlord Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Out of the ones in the poll I'd go with Taylor, because it was within the context of a close game and a normal gameplan. Ganz' K-State game was awesome, but it was also beating up on a 1st grader and Callahan going full air raid trying to save his job. Quote Link to comment
Mavric Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 This is tough because it depends on how you want to look at it. On a purely stats basis, it has to be Ganz. Those are video game numbers. Importance would be Frazier because it won us the National Title. But I went with Martinez, mainly because it was the most contested game. The others were pretty much blowouts. We had to have everything from Martinez that day and he came through. Plus, you add on that it came off a demoralizing home loss to Texas then we went on the road and got the worst defensive performance in two years. Quote Link to comment
bleedNUred Posted June 30, 2015 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Went with Roy because of the school record. But wow what Rodgers did was before my time, I'd love to see that performance. Sounds incredible! Quote Link to comment

I initially thought I was going to vote for Frazier (and I'm not surprised that most people did), but after looking at all the stats I had to go with Ganz. Regardless of the level of competition you're playing against, 510 yards and 7 touchdowns is insane. Quote Link to comment

Those 2 TDs made all things right in Husker Land - ghosts exorcised, wounds healed, heads tilled upward. Those go down as 2 of my all time favorite runs and the call "Its Schlesinger! Its Schlesinger!" still sends chills down my spine. 1 Quote Link to comment
Scratchtown Posted July 1, 2015 Share Posted July 1, 2015 Voted for "other"My first thought was Ahman's record setting performance in the Orange Bowl in 97 (season). No, it wasn't Helu's 300...but Tennessee's defense was damn good that year and was athletic as hell.

RedDenver Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I know he's not remembered fondly in much of Huskerland, but Jamal Lord's performance against Texas in 2002 ranks right up there. JL ran for 234 yards (320 rushing for the team) and threw for another 98, accounting for 79% of the total offense. That was against a Texas team that finished 11-2 and ranked #7. Most impressive to me was that his surrounding cast was the least talented among the teams we're discussing in this thread. However, JL did throw the pick at the goal line that sealed NU's fate. 2 Quote Link to comment
