Popular Post knapplc Posted October 3, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 3, 2021 This is what the 90s looked like. Dominating Offensive Lines, a fleet QB (although Martinez is a better passer than our QBs back then), the Option confusing opponents, a rabid and attacking defense, backups playing in the third quarter when we're up by 30+ points. And Scott Frost on the sidelines. I guess that part is the same. 9 1 1 17 Quote Link to comment

ZRod Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 This was a completely different team from what we've seen in a loooong time. 3 Quote Link to comment
BIGREDIOWAN Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 YEPPPP!!! Absolutely DOMINATED in every facet of this game ANDDDD with an 84 yard punt on top of it! 1 Quote Link to comment
JJ Husker Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Yessir. I have to go back to 1997 to remember feeling this way during a Husker game. I realize it was a pretty bad NW team but still, Nebraska did just what they should have and needed to. No critical mistakes, dominated and stole their soul. It was beautiful. 1 Quote Link to comment
floridacorn Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 I usually cringe a little when I open thread titles that look like they should just be a comment in a broader thread, but us old heads deserve a place to re-live our youths every now and then...thumbs up 1 Quote Link to comment
Jeremy Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Yep. One more slight difference if I might: Back in those days, fans would be streaming out by mid-3rd quarter, but that didn't happen last night. That's good to see. 3 Quote Link to comment

The Neb game being a highlight of the week rather than a source of frustration, just kicking-back stress-free and enjoying the 'skers thumping the competition is nice Quote Link to comment
Hagg Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Well yeah..back then they tried to change the good hot dogs at the stadium.. and they tried to get rid of Herbie. And they did get rid of our hard running option offense and replaced it with "wildcat" or whatever else you want to call it to "modernize Husker football," and we then began the long freefall into the oblivion that we're just now (hopefully) climbing out of. Jeesh.. what a ride. Quote Link to comment

What about running the ball down Miami’s throat in 2014? 2 Quote Link to comment

Yes that was good and there have been a few other feel good moments but this one transported me back to the glory days of complete domination. TBH I don’t remember much of the Callahan/Pelini/Riley eras. Too much bad overshadowing the good. This game, yes one game, one weak opponent, seemed to bring it back within reach again.

How do you not remember a 13 year period because of too much bad but then think this one game, led by a coach with significantly worse results than all of those coaches, feels like 24 years ago?
