I am an Oklahoma fan but man did Nebraska really screw up firing Frank solich they haven't been s*** every since and he wasn't doing that bad a job either it's hard to replace a legend like Tom Osborne but Frank solich was doing a good job Nebraska has been in the wilderness the last 20 years

[@CoreyT127]

Yeah, he was winning 10 games and playing in a bcs bowlevery year!

[@Forge_Hammer]

The next huge mistake was leaving the Big 12. They were a national power in the Big 12, in the Big Ten they're just a small market team in a conference that doesn't care about them. They almost won the Big 12 the last season they were in it.

[@CoreyT127]

@@Forge_Hammer ditching the most unstoppable running attack in history, the triple option for the west coast offense, was ontop of being a 180° reverse of everything they were and represented! Ranks higher than anything they did or will do in the future IMO?

[@Forge_Hammer]

@@CoreyT127 I actually agree 100% Jill. I just was stating I miss the Big XII being the way it was back then. I'll always be nostalgic for pre 2004 Nebraska Cornhusker football.

[@jdvandy8528]

Yeah it was going to take a dip no matter who coached (even Osborne) cfb started changing with everyone on tv and stricter rules in the 2000’s.. much harder to Get better kids to Lincoln . Frank had issues but they could have worked Them out without firing Him but Peterson has his own plan .. sadly for nu .... Frank certainly knew the Osborne way to win at nu

[@jaredtaylor8083]

I look back on this and laugh that Brent Musburger was so certain that it was going to be Oklahoma versus Nebraska in a rematch for the big 12 title. Nebraska then got blown out by Colorado and Oklahoma got upset by Oklahoma State so the title match ended up being Colorado versus Texas.

[@billblaski9523]

32:08 is what u looking for

[@billblaski9523]

Eric Crouch had such a shitty game, that TD catch off the reverse pass is all everyone remembers tho lol

[@scottrowlandrowland1098]

Yeah he missed quite a few throws and did not play the option well but Oklahoma defense was solid.

[@winnemucca-sk5392]

@@scottrowlandrowland1098 it really was a good defense. I remember thinking Nebraska would just do Nebraska things to Miami. When he had to make plays with his arm it was so shocking to see his limitations.

[@billblaski9523]

19:35 thats so hilarious i didn't even remember that OU tried running the play that Nebraska executed later on in the game that is well remembered for that it has its own Wikipedia page, the Black 41 Flash reverse pass or something

[@mikewalsh1189]

Lol “Oklahoma will circle December 1st and say, ‘We’ll see you in Dallas.” The Big 12 title game was Texas and Colorado 🤣

Steelbuck do you have the 2000 Oklahoma Nebraska game up?

[@scottrowlandrowland1098]

That 00 Oklahoma defense was unbelievable.

11:57 Jason White’s knee injury. Would’ve been interesting to see what’ve happened in this game if he hadn’t have gotten hurt.

[@kev1n2011]

Think this is where the eagles got the Philly special from cause when Brady and the patriots ran it that reminded me of Hybl slipping 😅

[@christopherjones9780]

Curtis Fagan returned so many punts that year because the defense was so great and because he was so average that nobody was afraid to kick to him

[@jaimealvarezmd7245]

All due respect might wouldve put 60 on Oklahoma

Boy young jason white. Tells you not all knee injuries are badd.

If white doesn’t get injured we win

[@atlsooner85]

Agreed. I saw this in high school, OU's defense was really good to

[@shockwave402]

Watching these old 90s/early 2000s games really makes me appreciate how far long snapping has coming in the last decade. It used to be pretty hit or miss. I can't tell you the last time Nebraska had a bad snap on a punt or field goal. It's been years.

[@williamdiemert2116]

If Nebraska didn't lost to Colorado and made it to the Big XII Championship against Texas in 2001 I think that Nebraska would beat Miami in the 2002 Rose Bowl for a National Championship. Frank Solich would have a 1st National Championship.

[@johnmanning4097]

😂😂😂😂

[@owenstock6566]

I'm Husker Red through and through. The 2001 Big Red squad was a very strong team indeed. But that 2001 Miami Squad is probably ranked among the top 10 teams of all time. Or at least it ought to have strong consideration for being on that list. I've never liked the Canes, but you gotta be fair about this.

[@michaelcarroll8570]

I’m an FSU alum and can’t stand Miami. That Miami team would have won decisively.

[@etchosts8162]

What are you smoking William? Nebraska did play Miami and got crushed.

If Heupel had one more year then OU wins this game and goes back to the NC, do they win? Don't know, it would have been a hell of a game tho...

[@johnmanning4097]

I agree... Oklahoma Defense might have been better the 2000 Defense and with Heupel he would have got them there.

@@jaimealvarezmd7245 was over 18 minutes into the game. But no Cane except Ken Dorsey threw a pass and of the Canes 24 rushing attempts and 110 rushing yards Clinton Portis, the starter, had 20 and 104, respectively. Miami took their foot off the gas 100% but you’re trying to argue they wouldn’t have if they were playing OU and took that same 34-0 halftime lead? I don’t buy it.
