No. 1: Defeating the Four Horsemen
Notre Dame’s famed “Four Horsemen” – Harry Stuhldreher, James Crowley, Don Miller and Elmer Layden – lost only two of the 30 games they played together, and both losses came to Nebraska – 14-6 in 1922, and 14-7 in 1923, both games in Lincoln.
VS
No. 1: 1995 Orange: Nebraska 24, Miami 17
“And bring that trophy back to Lincoln!” The Huskers rallied with two fourth-quarter touchdowns, both on fullback traps, to defeat the pain-in-the-you-know-what Hurricanes on their home turf and deliver coach Tom Osborne his first national championship.

No. 1: Winning the Game of the Century
If you can recite Lyell Bremser’s call of Johnny Rodgers’ punt return on Thanksgiving Day in 1971, you might be a Husker fan. Even if you can’t, you’ve surely seen it, which qualifies you all the same. The day’s first touchdown sparked Nebraska’s 35-31 victory over No. 2 Oklahoma in a game for the ages.
VS
No. 4: Henry + Suh = Euphoria
Nebraska wasn’t supposed to need such heroics to defeat Colorado in 2008, but kicker Alex Henery and defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh provided, anyway. Henery booted a school-record 57-yard field goal with 1:43 remaining to put NU ahead, and Suh rumbled 30 yards for a touchdown after intercepting, and then later swatting away, quarterback Cody Hawkins.
