Last week, we looked at the best wins and worst losses during the Mike Riley era of Nebraska football. It sparked some good discussion, and we have 3 and a half more months of the offseason, so this week, let's take a look back and discuss the best wins of the Bo Pelini era. This list wasn't as difficult as the Riley list was, since there were actually more than two quality wins to pick from. 

 

Game 1- 2009 Oklahoma: one of the most dominant defensive performances in program history. A nice response to the thrashing we took in 2008

     - Youtube highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iITLr4V0X10

 

 

Game 2 - 2010 Kansas State: the national reveal of Taylor Martinez. Absolutely crushed KSU in prime time on a Thursday night.

    - Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WVI64Yih2Ug&t=

 

 

Game 3 - 2011 Ohio State: helped by an injury to Braxton Miller, the offense answered the bell in the 2nd half, and it includes one of my absolute favorite Rex Burkhead moments.

    - ESPN: http://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=312810158

Game 4  - 2012 Wisconsin 1: Another comeback on national TV. Ignore the uniforms and marvel at the backfield combo of Martinez, Burkhead and a young Ameer Abdullah. 

    - ESPN: http://www.espn.com/college-football/game?gameId=322730158

Game 5 - Miami 2014: "Bloodthirsty" is the best way I can describe this game. We FINALLY got Miami in Memorial Stadium, and the old girl (and the team) rose to the occasion.

Voting will be open for a week, and if there is a game which you think fits the bill better, please vote "Other" and describe it in a post. Thanks!

Not a bad choice; MSU was #11 at the time, and we held them to 3 points. Leveon Bell only had 58 yards rushing, and Kirk Cousins was held in check as well. 

Yep, a great defensive performance under the lights in Lincoln. Didn't mean a whole lot, but a very good win nonetheless

Yep followed up by a terrible loss to Northwestern the next week.
