Blackshirt316 Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 One absurd play that still stands out for me is the ISU defender trying to break Burkhead's neck and we get called for a penalty. 1 Quote Link to comment
Bowfin Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I believe it was against Texas Tech in which Nebraska's guy intercepted the ball in the last minute of the game and tried to run it back instead of dropping to the turf and letting the offense take a knee for the win. The defender was stripped of the ball during his return, which gave Texas Tech a new set of downs and a second chance to beat the Huskers, which they did. Quote Link to comment

The Dude Posted May 27, 2016 Share Posted May 27, 2016 I feel bad that this was the first thing that popped into my mind. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p6fb16uSLUc Yeah that easily rivals the Niles Paul fumble in terms of absurdity. Niles Paul's fumble had a bigger impact on the outcome of the game though. Not sure if that matters. Quote Link to comment

Niles Paul's fumble had a bigger impact on the outcome of the game though. Not sure if that matters. It's a hilarious moment, but it's actually a "smart" play by Jake. He knew if he takes a step to keep his balance, that's a penalty, so he was trying to hold it waiting for the snap to happen in time so he wouldn't penalize his team. 2 Quote Link to comment

I know it's funny to watch but I've really never understood the ridicule. If he would have just given up earlier and stood up, everyone would have forgotten about it by the next possession. But by trying to hold as long as he could to try to avoid a penalty, it becomes a mockery. I'm sure he laughs at it as well but to try to use it as some point of how bad he was is totally backwards. 2 Quote Link to comment
Klondike Cat Posted May 28, 2016 Share Posted May 28, 2016 They show Nebraska's fumblerooskie in this video at 8:02. However, I recommend watching the whole video because the bizarre plays by other teams are also worth seeing, including Prebyterian's version of the bouncerooskie. 1 Quote Link to comment

Wow, that video is over 300K views. I remember uploading it because I was so pissed that the refs screwed us over on that call. Quote Link to comment
