1987 Nov 28 - Nebraska vs Colorado

[@davidk6269]

Keith Jones in his over-sized shoulder pads, neck roll, etc. looks like a miniature Eric Dickerson. And his production during this game was Dickerson-esque as well.

It was fun to see Clete Blakeman quarterbacking. He became an NFL official. And Eric Bieniemy--now coaching...

[@davidk6269]

1:19:25 15-yard run by Keith Jones followed immediately by: 1:20:01 Keith Jones breaks a 50-yard TD run. Replays starting at 1:21:27 and 1:22:08 showing great line blocking with pulling guard and tackle.

This was a hell of a Nebraska offensive line. But I guess you could say that most of those years.

[@tonybunting1828]

2:21:02 Rest in Peace, Jake Young #68 of Nebraska, who died tragically in the 2002 Bali bombings.

Thank you so much for uploading the 1987 NU/CU game! I was so sad when this was deleted from another site. This game really showed some determined run blocking by the O-line, TE and receivers. And the job turned in by Keith Jones was epic. I was very pleasantly surprised by how knowledgeable Lee Corso was on the option game--which is no surprise given his tenure as a coach at the Naval Academy. The Lee Corso from the later years of his broadcasting career was more of a clown, but his early years as a color commentator showed that he also had very deep football knowledge. RIP, Lee.

Lee isn't dead.

[@davidk6269]

@@bmboldt Whoops. My mistake. Thanks for the correction.

[@paulsonj72]

I think(I'm not sure) he ran the wishbone while he was coaching(as it was the de jour offense at that time) and would be familiar with the option game

[@RandyDubin]

This was payback for CU beating NU the previous year that, along with the loss to Oklahoma, plummeted the Huskers down to third in the Big 8 conference final standings for the first time under Coach Tom Osborne. Needless to say, Nebraska was more than ready for this game.

Taylor scored just before half. Refs were incompetent.

Back when espn had not been taken over by social justice warriors

[@MaxwellShap]

Eh?

[@allengreene9954]

Shush with all that garbage.

[@Rcknroler913]

So true. Fuck ESPN.

[@davidk6269]

1:59:06 great series by Keith Jones resulting in the final 44-yard TD run at 2:00:24

[@Rcknroler913]

Homer refs. TD at end of half. Easy to see.

[@85passthru]

[@don4476]
