If Doug Williams never left Tampa, then James Wilder wouldn't have been run in to the ground.

Coach Powers did a fantastic coaching job in '78.

As a Alabama fan/graduate my belated thanks to the 1978 Missouri team for beating Nebraska here in 1978. If Nebraska had won, it would have been #1 Penn St. vs. #2 Nebraska down there in the Orange Bowl for all the marbles. But, fortunately for Alabama, Missouri wins this game and Nebraska National Title hopes went down the drain. .. #2 Alabama goes on to beat #1 Penn St down there in the Sugar Bowl. .. Joe Paterno still wanted go down to the Orange Bowl to play 2-loss Nebraska, but Bear Bryant was able to politely persuade Paterno that it would be a better matchup to have #1 PSU face off against #2 Alabama. ... Coach Bryant was able to subtly remind Joe Paterno about the static Paterno/ Penn St. received when he dodge Texas in 1969.

Where did you find this footage

Absolutely great play. I remember watching that at my dad's house. They played that over and over again. Slow motion and ultra slow motion. Absolutely unbelievable. Vaughn

I haven't found the 1976 game at Nebraska featuring the long pass from Pete Woods to Joe Stewart, did I miss it or is it not on here?

Back when Mizzou would knock off the blue-bloods and lose to Iowa St. and Kansas.

Remember when Phil Bradley played professional baseball for the Mariners?

Could you imagine at that time in 2015 that Nebraska would be in the Big 10, and Missouri in the SEC?

I attended the 1978 game with my friend, James Mottaz. It was the coldest game I've been to. I will never forget how quiet the NU fans were after the game. Go Mizzou !

Who are those announcers? The Missouri radio network at the time was Dan Kelly and Bill Wilkerson, and these are different folks.

No, but I was potty-trained, DiaperBoy.

Hey RManFlint where you french in 1998?

Warren Powers was a diaper-wearing pansy. No wonder you liked him.

I went to this game as a 12 year old Husker Fan. James Wilder is a stud. How do I trade/get this entire game?

And thus went Mizzou's last victory against Nebraska until 2003 -- 25 years later.

u know what u have ur success we have ours

Man, the Mizzou Bama game that year was a wild one.

@tb1891 2009: Nebraska 27 Missouri 12 ..... 2010: Nebraska 31 Missouri 17... We have the bell forever now. What were you saying again ???'

Exactly. We were bad. Congrats on beating a bad team. You guys got your shit handed to you the last 4-5 years when we were actually decent.

we should of kept warren powers he was a good coach and when he left we were a pretty good football program but im glad were finally good with the two years smith produced and now what pinkel has produced in the last decade

is son doing big things

great run by phil bradley also

That old gold looks so much better than the sickly canary yellow shade the Tigers wear these days. The official colors are still old gold and black, aren't they, so why does the football team only wear it on their helmet? Did Pinkel allow the players to choose the shade?

FSU LOVES YOU JAMES WILDER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was 18; one of the greatest Mizzou games ever. Awesome talent on that team. Unfortunately for Nebraska, they got stuck playing OU again in the Orange Bowl, which I thought was a real raw deal for them; not cool.

@TheMrsamuelson uhh....yeah. if you couldn't tell, first by my handle, and then by my comment...I bleed Husker Red. I can't stand Missouri. I was saying that Nebraska POUNDED Missouri so much for so long, but there aren't too many highlight vids of that, simply because Missouri was too HORRIBLE to put the game on anyone's television set, save for a few magical years for them.

Good game and way to go tiggers. However, there aren't too many old videos of Nebraska running over Missouri. Not because Nebraska didn't win much (quite the opposite), but because they simply weren't televised. They weren't televised because one of the teams rarely mattered to conference standings, much less national rankings. The team that rarely mattered(s) certainly wasn't/isn't clad in scarlet...

Was there as a student covering the game for KOMU-TV. It's the greatest game I've ever witnessed first-hand. And Wilder's run is far and away the most amazing play of that game.

I still remember it like it was yesterday. Awesome!

I appreciate the fact that they were from a Missouri perspective and yes I figured that out, but I also have videos posted and I'm a Husker fan that shows key highlights for both teams. For example 83 NU vs OU and 98 Nu vs Tennessee. I liked your highlights but would have liked to see both teams as it was a great game that went back and forth and would have made your highlight package without question 5 stars. Your highlights did not capture the true competitiveness of this game. just saying

Amazing highlights, Nebraska ran two offensive plays one was an interception the other they were sacked and they still somehow managed to score 31 points.

MU in Lincoln, I don't know. We have nothing to loose, you guys are playing for a NC, you've never had that pressure before.

MU will not have a problem with NU this week. My prediction MU 45 NU 17 and Chase will win the heisman.

Fabulous! Thanks for posting this...what great memories.

Un-freaking-believable...even to this day. The last time Missouri won in Nebraska...I agree, the streak ends this year. Wilder was a super hero that day.
