And you can’t review a clock issue anyway in 2009 you couldn’t
What Husker play caused you to throw a temper tantrum
- Thread starter Redmich
- Start date
I had a mini stroke when we kicked it out of bounds giving them the ball at the 40
In 2009 O’Hanlon was declared an official curse word in the state of Nebraska
felt sorry for the kid - some speculation that someone else blew the coverage and O’Hanlon was trying to clean it up

Penalty call on Kenny Bell block still raises my blood pressure !
With many years of 20/20 hindsight, I've mellowed on this one because it was a minor miracle we were even in the game as poorly as we played the first 2.5 quarters, and PSU still had plenty of time to score even if that play is called out of bounds. Still a terrible call though.
The Dixon PR for me. He was my favorite player as a kid. Was a beautiful return.
Up until that play, I just assumed we would come back and win. Just brutal.
Brian Davis facemask penalty against Jamelle Holloway in the '86 Oklahoma game. We had them stopped. But Davis was perhaps 6'2 and Holloway perhaps 5'10.
I knew we lost at that point.
Our kicker has been kicking to the parking lot and now he fckd up the kick off.
I'm still pissed. Would have changed the trajectory of the program.

Buckhalter’s fumble at Texas in ’99. We would have won it all with that team.
Too bad there was no playoff. Definitely think we had a good shot to beat VT and then FSU
Most recent…..The blocked punt while playing against Io_a last year…
That FSU game killed me. I still think the FSU RB fumbled before leaping into the endzone. So many things went against Nebraska but we still had a chance to win it at the end. Make that kick and we could have won three straight national championships. Something that I don't think has ever been done before.
Just the fact ( in my opinion ) that it was a ludicrous call on a perfectly clean hit.
I remember that one too.. Should have never lost that game as well..
That was the game we wore red pants at home..
i believe it was also the Broderick Thomas -“our house” game
That game might have been the most frustrating in-person loss I have experienced. The hate for the Bosworth/Holieway-led Sooners was very high.
The "Our House" game was actually the next year - a more hyped 1 vs 2 match-up. We weren't close to winning the game in '87.
Is that the same game where Jackson pushed off brain Davis to make a catch late in the 4th quarter? Should have been called offensive pi
The crucial Jackson catch I remember is the one in the clip in the OP. He was being covered by Broderick Thomas - a tough match-up for a DE, even one as good as BT.
Wish BT didn’t lose the keys to Memorial Stadium heading into the game in 87.
A lot of talk by BT and ST heading into that game and OU did all the talking during the game.
Good list. I would add Penn State’s TE catching the ball out of bounds in 1982. Led to our only loss that year.
Todd Blackledge, Mike McCloskey, and even Joe Paterno all later admitted it was a blown call.
Sad game indeed but I disagree about firing Pelini on the spot.
Bill Calahan’s first year when Joe Dailey ran out of bounds at the 2 yard line with no time left against S. Miss.
The 1st quarter against UCLA in 1988. UCLA scored 28 straight points and Nebraska couldn't make a tackle.
I believe I cussed for the first time in front of my parents (and their friends) after Crouch was decapitated vs KSU.
