He was a yard out of bounds when he caught the ball inside the 5 yard line. The game-winning TD also came on a trapped pass. Gave NU it's only loss that season, and Penn State won the National Championship. 2) Phantom clip call against Nebraska which wiped out a Corey Dixon punt return TD in the 1994 Orange Bowl against Florida State. 3) Refs missing William Floyd's fumble at the goal line in the same game as #2. I guess it was a close call, but it gave FSU a TD, which they didn't earn. Sorry for the poor video quality, but this is the only thing I could find on YouTube. I developed Tourette's Syndrome during the 1994 Orange Bowl. Cussed out loud while reading your post lol Quote Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 82 Penn State game easily. They win the national championship that year and our only loss of the year is of course to them. Those refs were paid. 1 Quote Link to comment

This year, before the northwestern game, kirk was picking Big Red to go bowling. I'm not sold he hates nebraska. 2 Quote Link to comment
Popular Post StPaulHusker Posted January 23, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted January 23, 2019 Kirk Herbstreit does not hate Nebraska football. I would suspect he's not a fan of our fan base. But he is very, very realistic in how he sees Nebraska football. 8 1 1 Quote Link to comment

I mean, some things can be questionable judgment calls, but it could not be more obvious. Inexplicable not to call that. I truly felt like NU would have scored on that drive and won the game. Agree on PSU and FSU being most costly: If replay existed in 1982 and 1993 NU would have two more national championships. The entire TAMU game in totality was the biggest hose job I've ever seen. The other bad calls can be attributed to refs making stupid mistakes. But that TAMU game was a travesty that cannot have been unintentional. Was there.Was pissed! Quote Link to comment

He spoke highly of frost and even had us as one of his surprise teams prior to the beginning of the season. Some people need to learn how to let a manufactured argument go. 6 Quote Link to comment
Moiraine Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 When we were 0-4 or 0-5, Herbstreit picked us to go to a bowl game. Quote Link to comment
Apathy Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 A lot have posted other bad calls on here that I had in mind but here’s another one from the 10’ season. AK from Iowa State trying to rip Burkheads head off. Legate from Nebraska saw the dirty play and threw AK off of Burkhead and the officials flagged Nebraska instead of AK from Iowa State. Boy the officals were not kind to Nebraska in 10’ https://youtu.be/FKpdcxtigEY 1 Quote Link to comment

CheeseHusker Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 The Penn State play still makes my blood pressure shoot up even after all these years. And I was just a kid then. That the Gill-Rozier-Fryar era never won a title is always my biggest lament as a Husker fan. Those were the first teams I saw and until 93-97 there were none better. Quote Link to comment
wiuhusker Posted January 23, 2019 Share Posted January 23, 2019 The Kenny Bell block is the worst one I think I've seen. Close runner up would be the entire offensive game plan in the 09 Texas game. Quote Link to comment

You have to actually have an Offense to have an Offensive Game Plan. The 2009 squad did not have that, otherwise my name would be 2009 Redux in honor of the Natty we won under Bo Pelini who would be entering his 11th year as coach of the Huskers this season. 2 Quote Link to comment
