Is running an article now on the greatest games ever...1-10.
Here's what they said about 1971:
3. Nebraska 35 ... Oklahoma 31, November 25, 1971
For months, the hype for this game was more than simply fodder for sports fans. It became a national event, and the game itself more than lived up to the hype. By many opinions, this remains the Game of the Century and a favorite in the hearts of many old-time fans. It was No. 1 Nebraska traveling to face No. 2 Oklahoma with the defending national champion Huskers coming in on a 29-game winning streak on Thanksgiving day and all the sports world watching. 55 million homes were tuned in. With 7:05 to play and 74-yards away with 7:05 left to play, the Huskers marched to the end zone highlighted by a big third down catch and run from eventual Heisman Trophy winner, Johnny Rogers. Bruising running back Jeff Kinney pounded it in for the lead and his fourth touchdown of the day, and then the defense held to preserve the historic victory.
They have '69 Texas-Arkansas as #1...tough call..... :confucius
