Movie Night with Corn Nation – Green Street Hooligans

A VERY memorable play to end the 2005 season.

The 2005 Nebraska football team

It felt like things were turning around. It did for me. The team went 8-4, a vast improvement over the previous season, the first losing season since 1961. The non-conference games weren’t spectacular – with victories over Maine, Wake Forest, and Pitt – but they were wins. Next up Nebraska beat a ranked Iowa State team in overtime.

Then came the first loss of the season, a 34-31 disappointment against Texas Tech at home. The Red Raiders took off to a 21-0 lead, but Kevin Cosgrove’s defense stiffened in the second half. Our beloved Huskers held a 31-27 lead when defensive lineman Le Kevin Smith intercepted a Tech pass, but then tried to run with it only too fumble it right back to those bastards from Lubbock. Tech scored with 12 seconds left and Nebraska had their first loss of the season.
