It's hard to keep track of all of Ziggy's runs these days. The 66 yard run was in the 2nd quarter. This one, the 60-yarder, was in the 4th quarter. 1 Quote Link to comment

The folks at work just told me we were fortunate the Illini dropped a couple of punts or it'd have been tied at half... Quote Link to comment

Or maybe the punt returner was nervous because they never had a lead over us and we were scoring at will which increased the chance that he’d fumble. 1 Quote Link to comment
Hayseed Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 This is a prime example of how line blocking isn’t always important to be a good running team. Quote Link to comment
Guy Chamberlin Posted November 15, 2018 Share Posted November 15, 2018 That same Gerry Dinardo just said on BTN that he doesn't think Michigan State can hang with Nebraska this Saturday. The expectation game is a killer. I'd love to see the Huskers deliver this one. 2 Quote Link to comment

Tom would pull that one out when he had the defense selling out to stop the Option because we were gaining 7-10 yards a pop. Then they'd throw it and the defense would look so frustrated. Tommie did that like a boss IMHO. What a great play. The complexities in the simplistic...TO was a genius. Frost shows great promise. 1 Quote Link to comment

Yep - the exact play I was thinking of - that and the surprise trap to the fullback. (Remember that one Miami??) Can't get enough of this video Quote Link to comment
olddominionhusker Posted November 16, 2018 Share Posted November 16, 2018 I was at that game. I think I might have shed tears after that play. I had been at the heartbreaker the previous year as well and I was just so damn over the top happy when NU scored there. I remember every detail like it was yesterday 1 Quote Link to comment
