BartonHusker Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 I would say my favorite play is Joel Mackovicka’s never say die run against Akron. Though Davison’s ‘Flea Kicker’ is right there with it. 3 Quote Link to comment
funhusker Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Basic, but I love the stiff arm run of Rex Burkhead against Wisconsin. Quote Link to comment
I.M. OLD Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Jeff Kinney. Game of the century 1 Quote Link to comment
LadyGlitterSparkles Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 The obvious (and true) answer is Tommie's "The Run" against Florida. But my second favorite would be Eric Crouch vs Iowa in '99. 8 Quote Link to comment
ColoradoHusk Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 (edited) Gill's option pitch to Jeff Smith to bring NU within 31-30 in the 1984 Orange Bowl. One of the best plays I have ever seen. 4th and 8 at Miami's 24, just under a minute to play. Gill started it looking for the pass after his reverse-pivot. When that wasn't open he went down the line with the option. As Gill is being hit, he pitches a perfect lateral to Smith who catches it on the run and takes it down the sideline to score. This was Osborne using an RPO 30 years before the term would spread across college football. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MoNs0mdKAO8 Edited December 9, 2017 by ColoradoHusk 3 Quote Link to comment

grandpasknee Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 As hard as it is to say, I'd stick with the incomplete pass while going for two against Miami. A turning point of sorts for the Huskers. Made pride in a team and coach that "get it" with regards to what football is all about. Yeah, it hurt bad. But there it is. 1 Quote Link to comment
Redux Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Recently, this one. Hands down best play I have ever been in person to see. The momentum of the crowd building up to this 4th down and the ensuing reaction...surreal. 1 Quote Link to comment

Carolina Husker Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Black 41 flash. Just because that was my first and only game I’ve seen in Lincoln. What a day it was. 2 Quote Link to comment

There are lots of good ones, and more flashy choices, but I always appreciate a simple FB dive that busts for 40+ yards. Quote Link to comment
84HuskerLaw Posted December 9, 2017 Share Posted December 9, 2017 Too many to pick one. I do remember that tremendous 'hit of the century' by Ruuuuuuud vs. OK that helped break the Sooner magic spell. Awesome football play. J.Mackovicka is perhaps my favorite Husker of all time and there are so many I couldn't count them. He amongst so many epitomized what being a Hukser is all about. We need to clone him or select that 'toughness' gene and instill it in this current team and we'd win 10 games without a coach almost. 1 Quote Link to comment

I read that he was never once tackled for a loss. Closest to him ever in my opinion (as a runner ) was Rex Burkhead. Quote Link to comment
