Biggest win since_________

[Mack In Motion]

Since when?

Yes, I know we beat a flawed team that didn't in any way resemble the '85 Bears.

That aside, this was inarguably a big win for the program. On several levels.

That fact was reflected in the atmosphere in the stadium Sat. night.

When was the last win that meant this much, overall, to the program?

Since week 1. For a team learning to play winning football there all Big.

9-6 in the snow vs Sparty

2022 Iowa when Trey Palmer woke up pi$$ed off and took it out on the Hawkeye secondary. Kept Iowa out of conference championship game. Still today their fans cry about injuries that day….like Nebraska isn’t depleted by final game. Ok maybe this isn’t the biggest win in terms of the whole program because we knew change was coming. I’d say since beating Miami about 10 years ago.

2016 oregon

That’s probably the answer. I instantly thought MSU the year before.

We beat better teams last year.

 

[skintight]

IMO the win itself wasnt that HUGE. However, the way the game was dominated by the Huskers and most importantly the Defense is what was most THERAPEUTIC !

9-6 in the snow vs Sparty

Took the words right out of my mouth…

 

[V-Doub]

We beat better teams last year.

Yes, probably true. But we didn’t beat them nearly as convincingly. And that matters….

 

[jteten]

We’ve beaten better teams over the last few years, but this one means more considering the opponent, game timing, recruits in place, tv viewership, freshman QB, etc… Inferior team but still a huge win.

Great win but nobody thought it could be a program changer going or or coming out...all factors considered, ..."We're back and we're hear to stay" Clemson..... honesty thought at the time, we might have something cooking.

Honorable mention to Martinez carving up K State on a Thursday nite game if memory serves??? Maybe??? When Martinez was gettimg legitimate talk for Heisman votes and we thought things were trending up.

 

[litespeedhuskerfan]

For those saying Oregon...did anyone think it was even close to a program changer? Really? Going into or after the game...you thought our trajectory was truly changing? I did not.

Back to the better Martinez, Taylor? That was ages ago. Might need to consider the 33-0 bowl game victory over Arizona. If I recall correctly Bo proclaimed we’re back after that. It did launch them to a higher level the next couple of years. Then we changed conferences, lost momentum and then have been astray ever since.

...agree

That was maybe the last time I thought we had a shot to get back to the top of CFB...remember even a segment on Dan Patrick day after that game...if he had not gotten hurt...what might have been for next few seasons.

 

[SickOfPractice]

Kind of a tough question for me before knowing what it might mean for the rest of this season and future years. I hope it wasn't just one feel good win over an old conference foe and it's the start CFB relevancy again.

A lot a good answers posted prior to mine. It was a very unique & emotional game. I'm jealous of all who were there Saturday night.
