Game of the Year of the Day, 1994: Nebraska 24, Miami 17
Tom Osborne’s 1994 Nebraska Cornhuskers: one of the 50 best* of all time.
Our desire to evaluate every coach’s legacy after every single game was certainly weaponized by the proliferation of the Internet, but it didn’t start with the Internet. Heading into 1994, Tom Osborne was The Guy Who Couldn’t Win The Big Game. Something always got in the way. And by the late-1980s, he was struggling to find fifth gear again. NU was constantly very good but rarely truly great, losing at least two games every year from 1984 to 1992 and going five straight years without final poll ranking in the single digits.
Most teams would kill for such a run. But Osborne was still hoping for a breakthrough.
