When did we upset OSU?
Michigan State upset.
Beating UCLA in that "farm" bowl.
Maybe those were before 2015? It's all a blur.

A Few Possibilities By Year-
2016 - Nebraska beat Oregon 35 to 32 & Northwestern 24-13 helping to start the year 7-0. Hopes were high until the loss to Wisconsin & the Ohio State beat down.
2017 - ?? Nebraska beat Illinois 28-6
2018 - Nebraska beat Minnesota 53-28 & Michigan State in the snow 9-6 (both felt like good wins at the time as we were gaining momentum.
2019 - ?? Maybe Nebraska over Maryland 54-7 or Illinois 42-38 in a shootout. In reality nothing felt good about that season.
2020 - ?? Nebraska over Penn State 30-23. It felt good to get the win but it didn't feel like a good win at the time.
Not many "impressive" wins to choose from but if I had to pick 3 games that were impressive, one would be the close loss to Ohio State in 2018, One would be the win over a rising Minnesota team in 2018, and the third would maybe be the Northwestern game from 2016. That took us to 4-0 and it felt like we were on a different trajectory from years past. Players were believing and fans were starting to get excited.

This is more about emotional importance, than actual stakes, but Penn St 2020 will probably always stand out in my mind. An ugly win against an ugly opponent in a monstrously ugly year. The momentary distraction from the world that that win provided at the time was definitely needed.
