The 2010 season up until Taylor Martinez's injury. It looked as though Nebraska had not only turned the corner, but could go 0 - 60 like a Bugatti Veyron. Washington, Oklahoma State and Kansas State games were just hugely satisfying. Of course I'm pretending the Texas game never happened.
I also thought we turned the corner with the Holiday Bowl shutout against Arizona.
The Henery kick and Suh touchdown back to back have to be the most ball-tingly great moments. Just forget that Colorado should never have been that close, and what a missed field goal would have meant.
I believe it was none other than the loathed Brent Musburger who said Suh vs. Texas in 2009 was the greatest individual defensive performance he'd ever witnessed. In my mind, Suh breaks through on that final play, McCoy panics and throws that ball just 3 degrees higher, and it doesn't land until the clock is decisively at 00:00. That's the difference between legendary and epic.
