The 12 loudest games at Memorial Stadium, beginning with a Halloween afternoon in 1992 | Football


Nebraska 27, Notre Dame 10, 2001

 In Nebraska’s first nonconference night game at Memorial Stadium since losing to Washington in 1991, the fifth-ranked Huskers broke from an expansive group of lukewarm national-championship contenders and solidified their status as a legitimate title threat. Playing on Solich’s 57th birthday, Nebraska received some gifts in the form of three Notre Dame turnovers in the first quarter, helping the Huskers bolt to a 17-0 lead. NU led 27-3 at halftime and was never seriously threatened thereafter while winning its 16th straight home game. The stadium was buzzing from start to finish.

 Things were still looking awfully promising during the Pelini era when seventh-ranked Mizzou came to town for an afternoon affair. Ardent Husker fan Jay Urban remembers one scene in particular. “The goal line stand,” he said. “On third down, we helicoptered (Blaine) Gabbert. They went for it inside the 1 on fourth down. Once he went into the count, the south end zone sent up a wall of noise so loud, the tailback could not hear the count and false-started. Mizzou kicked a field goal.” Roy Helu Jr. ran for a school-record 307 yards, igniting Nebraska to its first win against a top-10 team during the Pelini-era.
