Nebraska @ Oklahoma 10/28/00 *(first half highlights)

The Nebraska Cornhuskers come into Norman ranked the #1 team in the country and look like it for the 1st Qtr. The last 3 Qtrs. are dominated by the Sooners in front of a record crowd. Second year head coach Bob Stoops and the Sooners show the country that they're back for good and ready to return to national prominence. *(from Oct. 28th 2000)

[@serekithegreat]

I was at this game and the atmosphere was awesome. I went to a house party in Norman afterwards and there were a bunch of Nebraska fans there who partied with us on into the night. They have classy fans and it was a game I'll never forget. Boomer Sooner !

[@mrdonigan]

I'm a Husker fan, and I'm sure going to miss playing you guys. Good luck in the future, and BEAT TEXAS!

[@camthesooner123]

You got this year

[@serekithegreat]

Man, we were sick this year. It was like everyone on the team had played with each other for decades. They were hungry for victory, and played like it every game. I was at this game and the atmosphere as electric as OU vs. Texas. After the win, Norman was insane, and people were just driving around in the rain at night screaming " OU ". It was what college football is all about.

[@ce6277]

I was at this game, about 14 years old. I remember when we were down 14 to 0 I was getting disappointed.. my dad who was a seasoned sooner fan just looked at me and said " you're about to see a classic. " old man was correct!

[@Fyre1x]

Clint Elliott I too was there, I remember when Mike Stoops called the defense over to the side line after Nebraska gave us that 1... 2... punch in the mouth. After that, it was all Sooners. Still to this day I wonder what he said to them

[@ce6277]

Fyre1x I'm sure a few cuss words lol

[@mr.chupacabra7172]

Yup, you're about to whiteness a big dick defense.

[@mas5867]

Yep. It was a classic that most of us would later ask, "what the F did I waste my time watching?" 1) A program that may have seen its last #1 EVER. As of 2023, 250 games so far. 2) A coach 6 games from his ONLY NC in 17 years of woulda, coulda, shoulda. Stoops beat a PROVEN mediocre coach.

[@94jg]

The early 2000's was a great time in college football. It's impressive to me that Oklahoma has been so consistently good for the past decade. Something Nebraska, Florida State, and Miami even had difficulty doing. Says a lot about Bob Stoops and his staff.

[@mas5867]

WHAT. 17 years when he retired and 1 NC. Nobody had the moniker, "Big Lame" Bob Stoops except him.

[@blinocac]

I was an OU student at the time, and was watching this game on TV. I remember during the 1st quarter thinking "Well, it was a good run while it lasted." I was sure Nebraska had our number, and was gonna paste us. The rest of the game was pure Sooner Magic.

[@kpmac1]

As an OU fan, after the huskers punched us in the mouth in the 1st quarter, I remember thinking "oh well, at least I know we're a lot better than we've been in years. it was a good run this year". And then we punched back in a big way. Great game!

[@johnmanning4097]

Wow I miss seeing a great defense like that defense I wish the defenses at Oklahoma could play like that now

[@bradleycarroll8187]

If we had this type of Defense we would be back to back National Champions easily especially with how potent our offense is

[@ruscopcoltrain]

I was at this game in the Pride. Great game and great season. I definitely miss seeing a well-run old-school option offense, too.

[@jkjls007]

From a cowboy fan, great job putting these together. 2011 may be one hell of a season for us to remember in Oklahoma!

[@adamcsay]

wow you'd think after watching this first 10 minutes that nu blew them out. i remember having a bad feeling about this game and it turned out to be right. heupel was a gamer.

[@SoonerNation94]

I would probably pay hundreds for every game from this season full length. I wasn't old enough to be interested in football when this season happened and now I can't get enough of watching highlights of games.

[@spud2ooo]

That mizzou team back then had no defense

[@Chet73]

I miss this rivalry. It was a great one.

[@CoreyT127]

Damn, Nebraska was up 14-0 too! I listen to the 2nd half on the radio at my little brothers peewee game.

[@charlesbolton6736]

Remember that day like it was yesterday, such an exciting game!

[@piercematt]

I get teary eyed. Boomer Sooner!

[@vsooner]

I was at this game and I remember the atmosphere was electric. When we tied it up, you knew that we were going to pull it out. We stormed the field after 0:00 and I had to stop and think,WE’RE BACK!! Didn’t know that run would last for a while.

[@Sleeper197]

Josh was the last OU QB to win a Natty. Can’t believe that was the last...

[@boomer13ish]

Been going to OU games since 86 (5years old my first one)... Was there when CU beat us and the Schooner tipped over (back in the old artificial turf days).... Was there as a HS'er when Donovan Mcnab puked in the huddle for Syracuse, and stormed the field when we blocked their FG attempt at the end to win it.... Then attended OU... Was in school at the time of this game. And I have NEVER, ever, heard, or seen Owen field (I'll always call it that/sorry Gaylord's), like it was that day. I was @ campus corner, getting a **sprite (wink wink), about an hour before kickoff. And the PA did his usual "Welcome to The University Of Oklahoma Gameday" routine... The roar... Even from half a mile away... Incredible. Like....thunder... Every snap, every play, every tackle, just....electric...Gettin goosebumps just thinkin about it.... Me and a buddy woke up around 4 AM that morning (11 o'clock kick), and I turned on espn radio. The guy came on, said, "welcome back to ESPN radio here in Bristol, where it's 5:15 in the morning local time. A full day of college football coming your way, but of course the one everyone's talking about, the big one... #1 Nebraska, at #3 Oklahoma, like two runaway trains about to collide in Norman, here in about 5 hours and change"... Gave me chills to know I was going to be there. A few minutes later we walked over to the stadium. Still dark outside. Off in the distance you'd hear a faint "BOOMER!" from people just beginning to stir. We worked our way through an open gate, and into the stadium....the lights were on a low dim, and I kid you not, there was a light...fog, kind of a mist, that hung over the field...AWESOME! Just the electricity on campus during that run, leading to that game....and that gameday... I have never seen the stadium like it was that day, before, or after. And yes I was @ the tech game for the "jump around," and that was "close," toward the end....but no match to this one... Sorry for the monologue, just an outstanding memory-

[@statman29neb]

Thanks for posting good stuff..

[@Jany1954]

And thank you very much!!!

[@Meni69]

Thanks bro

[@cryhwks]

i remember this game because i was there it was the first ou game i ever went to i was 10

[@spud2ooo]

Lucky duck

[@jeffouellette9946]

@@spud2ooo no joke

[@markmohr9356]

sweet video for the first 3 minutes

[@leemontgomery7914]

As a Sooner, Nebraska’s Athletic Director should not have fired Coach Solich; they would’ve had additional national championships. They were tough, nose-tough, evenly tough, in-the-trench-tough, etc. That was Corn Husker football.

[@soonerscott2007]

I make most of them from editing old VHS tapes of the games.

[@jobu88]

This was the point I knew we were legit, prior to this game I felt like OU being back was all smoke and mirrors and luck. Even thumping Texas didn't convince me we were legit. Getting down 14-0 and then just steamrolling Nebraska the rest of the way was a great thing to see.

[@ThaatJosh]

Anyone know where the full video is? I can only find highlights

[@cryhwks]

@soonerscott2007 Do you have every game on tape from this season

[@SoonerMagicJ2009]

I miss that season lol

[@SoonerNation94]

how do you get these videos?

[@willischalepah9488]

the first real two teams that used to face each other ranked both 1 and 2

[@StewartUSAF]

@mevans1182 Damn straight we were!

[@alexanderhaynes1288]

6:32 There you go everyone.

[@mas5867]

I grew up on Keith Jackson. Youth has a way of warping reality. Brad Nesler is a better play by play than Keith was.

[@travis2x]

@alexhp91 this actually happens most of the time in the NU-OU games, NU gets off to a fast start and then blows it! :( :(

[@randyh7945]

BOOMER!! SOONER!!

[@SinginRabbit]

@spdcool11 Check out Crouch's 90+ yarder against Mizzou. If you still think he's overrated after that, then I guess there's no hope in changing your mind.

[@lesliescotty9771]

Look he had this game wone in the first qaurter

[@Ronaldstamosti]

Oklahoma was down 14 -0 and Oklahoma came back and beat them 35-14

How many of those 7 national championships didn't include some form of probation afterwards?

[@donmitchell1677]

Aww 5 years later 10 Championships later, two more Heisman's later where are you chumpsawcharlie.. Well OU is just fine sorry you couldn't make it...
