Wow, this is a hard one. Because of our style of offense in most of the Osborne years, the Solich years, and the crappy teams of Callahan, we never had that game where we were behind -- for example 35-7 -- and came back and won.
OK, I found one. This is going way back, but the most dramatic memory I have. I was at the Kansas game in 1970. This was Devaney's first NC team. We pulled ahead 10-0 early in the game. All of a sudden, the Jayhawks exploded for 20 points! And I mean lightning fast! Us husker fans were in shock. Kansas fans were going crazy. The score 20-10 -- Kansas.
But then came one of the biggest plays in Husker history. The first play from scrimmage after Kansas' last touchdown, QB Van Bronson dropped back and threw an eighty-yard T.D. bomb to Guy "The Fly" Ingels. He beat a DB who ran a faster 100-yard dash. That touchdown took all the fire out of Kansas and its fans. Final score: NU 41-KU 20.
That was the greatest comeback I remember. I never seen another play that turned a game around like that eighty-yard bomb. Do some of you older posters remember that game?
