Tommy Armstrong


Recommended Posts


Remember when Tommy was hurt, but he toughed it out and gave Mike Riley a win over Oregon, his first win in years?

 

Tommy burst through the line (aided by a Janovich block) and scampered to the end zone with his bum leg. Sealed the victory. Hell of a play, hell of a guy, hell of a win.

 

You don't have to love Mike Riley to be happy for that win. And Tommy gutted that thing out, ganked up and all he was.

 

That's a great guy. Great game. Fun day.

 

I'll always remember that about him.

 

Good times.

Tommy generated more emotional responses for me as a Husker fan than any player since our glory days...

 

The 99 yard touchdown throw. The Oregon win. Crying on the sideline during the Sam Foltz tribute. And especially when he got stretchered out of that Ohio State game, and then walked back into the stadium to join his teammates.
