Dude u were such a monster at DE lol I would of never guest u had so much personality

Michigan is the true National Champion of 1997. Nebraska “won” the runner up trophy that year, plus they lost to Missouri.

Nice work on this video! 🙌👍

The plane crash that took Brooke from this world was just west and a little north of Lincoln. I worked on West O Street at the time and news of the crash came over the radio very quickly. We could see the smoke from work. News of the victims' identities came a little later. I was roughly his age. That was my first taste of mortality for the young that really hit home. RIP Brooke Berringer and Tobey Lake. Let us not forget the "nobodies" that die with our "somebodies".

We will not always win. We will not always go to bowl games. We will not always have winning seasons. We will not always win championships. But we will always try to the end. And we will always be NEBRASKA.

I was in FFA in high school. Terry Connealy was as well at Hyannis. I remember being at an FFA contest "with" him. He was a senior and he was a man. I was a junior and I was a boy, lol. A 6'3" 235 boy but a boy nonetheless.

It shouldn’t have even happened because on the kickoff the receiver fumbled after getting hit. Billy Sims fumble

The Kenny Bell hit is a classic and it was legal

Sorry huskers fans but no one outside Nebraska considers this to be the Goat. In fact,it may not even be the best huskers team ever.

I hope these are your kids and they never loose this video. They watch it years down the road will be awesome. ❤

Suh was so dominant. Should have won the hiesman no doubt.

I remember all of this.

This presentation should be required viewing is u r a GBR FAN

You say hello. We say helu

Phillips was a criminal spouse abuser. Should never have been played. But Osbourne is a far right 'Christian' with little regard for women. Sad you are highlighting that POS Adam.

The middle 90's were not just Big Red, they were the Big Red Machine

1:53 What makes the 99 yard pass even more impressive was Tommy Armstrong's ability to avoid a safety and get his elbow down first at the 1/2 yard mark.

13:08 Watch this again at .5x speed. The announcer goes nuts.😂

Surely they will have the Golden Goose play in this segment. Anybody remember that one? It was so unexpected! HISTORIC!! Edit: yes they did show this play... But this narrator calls it a "fumblerooski" No the ball was literally placed on the ground by the quarterback and then picked up by the running back. All pre-planned. Osborne named at the Golden Goose play. 10:38

Agree all the way

Add a Roger Craig

Add a Rathman

Buskers best play was in ‘96 when they got shut out by the Sun Devils 19-0. Can’t decide which of 3 safeties was the best though.

The Rodgers punt return against Oklahoma is my top play. It was vital to the victory. Frazier’s run happened after the game was settled.

Suh was possessed against Texas too bad we lost although controversial

Jeff Hansen’s hit on Sims was special . Unfortunate we had to meet Okla. in the Orange bowl

Nebraska fans are like Notre Dame fans by always reaching waaaay back to their days of relevance while living in gridiron mediocrity .

Do you remember when Nebraska football was relevant? Most don't.

Best listing on Nebraska that I have seen. Great job. Thanks for the memories.

Crazy facts about that 1996 Fiesta Bowl: Huskers easily left over 20 points on the board and Florida's 2nd TD was way out of bounds. Final score could've been as bad as 82-18.

That catch by Quincy is officially the longest play from scrimmage in the history of college football

Aside from 2023, there hasn’t been a black shirt defense since 2009

You can't take three steps out of bounds and come back in and catch it legally?

Keith Jackson was "John Madden" before Madden was...."Man, woman and Child...."

Nice Job!

They were so damn physical

This team should be watched by any team that has to play against an option team. First, you arent going to stop it on every play. Second, defensing the option requires one to play a defense of postion, you cannot over pursue. Lastly, when making a stop, you have to wrap. You cannot hit. Florida in the 96 Fiesta Bowl had good athletes. But, they were lacking in fundamentals and they paid the price against the option. Watching the 96 Fiesta Bowl will show everything not to do against an option team as a defense

Nebraska probably had 5 of the 7 best RBs in the Big 8 that year. Ahman and LP were easily the 2 best. Troy Davis put up 2000 yards but had 2.5x the amount of carries that Ahman did. If LP could have kept his head straight, it would have been a runaway Heisman win. Childs, Benning, and Sims would have started anywhere else other than ISU or OSU and had conference honors.

Hell yeah they are … never trailed, didn’t give up a sack, averaged almost 400 yards on the ground !!!! Only team ever to beat 4 final top ten teams …. Frazier was the best … he said he went to Nebraska to win a national championship…. F’n did it twice !!! Should have been 3 but there was that phantom clip vs FSU when he was a sophomore

Whatever happened to QB Taylor Martinez. I saw a couple of his games and thought the was good. Runner. decent passer.

Boy I was so wrong.

Watching from Georgia, Home of the DWAGS 12/23. Growing up in the 90’s, the Mid West had all the power house teams. Let’s see what 2024 college football brings. Sad to see the PAC-12 gone. Let see if Dylan Raiola flip from Georgia to Nebraska.

Such a joy to watch... coach Mcbride.. that defense was so bad ass year after year. The offense was on auto pilot but i could not wait until the defense was on the field. I miss Coach Osborne. Bless you coach

They beat up people!! PHYSICAL FOOTBALL.. old school both sides of the field.. college ball now is SOFT weak.. no discipline.. sad what it has come to

My big brother always call him the Rocket and not the Jet - lol

I will disagree with the number one. No way is that better then Johnny R’s punt return vs Oklahoma or his punt returns - lol. The Frazier run was very good and exciting but so many of those tackles were bad angles or arm efforts. Not even close to the excitement or impact of The Rocket!

The jack run is by far the best clip of this video!

#7 with Turner was a top ten play in 10 years? That was barely a top ten play of any avg game, give me a break.

Yeah I'm almost positive coach Osborne didn't say take it to the house. I'm sure he said make a touchdown. Yeah I'm old school it's always been touchdown and always will be touchdown. So this day and age can everyone just go back to calling it a touchdown, because that's what it is called a touchdown

I was first introduced to husker football in the tommy armstrong- j9rdan westerkamp years. I thank my dad for introducing me to football and one amazing team.
