Corn Flakes: Your Favorite Husker Football Game Of All Time?

I cheated. I picked a 90s game, but I added some others. What’s your choice?

Bill Connelly released his Nebraska preview yesterday and he also put out an article on the 94 Nebraska team that won Tom Osborne’s first national title as a head coach. Specifically, Bill rehashes what I think is the best game Osborne ever coached in his entire career. It has to be my favorite game of all time when it comes to Nebraska football.

I know that’s cheating. It’s pretty easy to pick something from the 90s and especially easy to pick a national title game. I should disallow myself from doing that, but that game was so beautiful in its outcome that I’d be lying to myself if I didn’t pick it. I mean, there’s a reason why Bill picked the 94 team as one of his “50 Best Of All Time*”. The story lines between Frazier and Berringer were amazing. Then that game comes along.

Miami in the Orange Bowl. Again. Miami with an early lead. Husker fans, myself included, thinking, “Here we go again”, while it was clear after the game was over that Osborne had the entire plan figured out. As Bill points out, Cory Schlesinger and the fullback trap – it’s like a story made up by a fiction writer specifically for Husker fans.
