They have the entire game, but I suggest watching from like the 4 minute mark of this one. TO goes for it and Tommie makes it happen!
Great Video

Nice find. I miss Pavelka doing football.
I kind of like the all whites with the black shirts underneath as well and the black shoes. Probably in minority, but don't mind this.
Watched 1992 rutgers vs virginia tech on BTN last night. It was a blast.
Love the 90s uniforms, pads, style, offenses, defenses…I miss football.

That's history right there. Was Tommie Frazier's first start or did he come in as a replacement? Either way, that was one hell of a play jumping into the end zone.
An even better battle with Missour-rah happened in 1981, Nebraska's version of "the drive."
His first start. I think he came in against Iowa St. the week before.
Definitely one of the very few times the backup really WAS better than the starter! Was it Mike Grant?
Turner Gill, Tom Osborne, Keith Jackson and the Prudential College Scoreboard after the game. Doesn't get any better than that!
I'm gonna say without checking that Grant was the QB before giving way to Tommie Frazier. I think Mark Mauer was the starting QB before Gill. Mauer may have started at least some games the year before as well. I think Gill and Fryar both played on the JV team during their freshman year.
Yep. You are correct. Must have been the Okie Light game? Looks like Grant was the starter. My memory fails me, but didn't he take a pretty cheap shot to get hurt?

My recollection is poor performance is what landed him on the bench… I don’t remember him getting hurt. But that was a long time ago and I could be wrong.
Remember Bremser calling Todd Brown “you sweet puppy.”
Also educational for those who never saw Gill and didn’t think he could throw. Thanks for posting!
