Wisconsin on Homecoming. Rex Burkehead was something else. Incredible comeback.
Greatest Husker Game Since Bo Pelini Took Over?
- Thread starter Riled Up
- Start date
When we cameback against Ohio St under Bo and beat Carlos Hyde and Braxton Miller. When we beat no. 6 Mich St who went on to play in the CFP. Winning a bowl game in Riley's first year over Josh Rosen. Pelini beating Arizona 33-0 in the Holiday bowl. etc.
A couple of good wins listed. I'd add the Hail Mary vs Northwestern and 2012 at MSU.
But, I'm going to go in a completely different direction and say that the 2009 CCG against Texas was Pelini's best game.
Yes, the good guys lost and that one still hurts, but Nebraska had the lead in a game against a team that was a 14-point favorite and would play for a National Championship in its next game when the clock read all zeros...and then 00:01. Add to that the fact that Suh absolutely dominated and over matched the Horns for much of the game and this game gets my vote.
That I just spent five minutes glorifying a painful loss speaks loudly to Nebraska's need for a signature win....fingers crossed for getting the win at aOSU, vs PSU, or at Wiscy this year.
