It was an early non conf game, 98 or 99 ? crouch was not the starter, but he ran, passed and caught a td that day. Seems like a game or 2 later, he was starting.

What a game that was. Here's some not-so-trivial trivia about that photo.

A misidentified moment from the Game of the Century

This iconic photo has long been labeled as Jeff Kinney's winning TD against Oklahoma in 1971. Upon video review, it shows a different play.

My son and I were at both of these games.

We were sitting amongst a bunch of very nice ND fans in South Bend and in OT when our WB came in motion back towards the line of scrimmage, I turned to one of them and said: "game over".
Crouch scored easily on option of left end, what a great game and the best away crowd I have ever been around.

The Notre Dame fans I saw were even crying on their cell phones about the Sea of Red in their beloved stadium.

I was blessed to be in attendance for a few famous Nebraska plays.

- Eric Crouch's TD catch against #1 OU at Memorial Stadium
- Tommie Frazier's historic run in the Fiesta Bowl versus Florida in the NC
- Joel Mackavica's ramble for the go-ahead touchdown versus Miami in the Orange Bowl NC

I also was in attendance at Nebraska's all time beatdown in Lubbock. 10-70.

It was Cory Schlessinger that scored the go ahead TD vs Miami.

Indeed it was.

Knothole section. Kansas v. Nebraska, back when Kansas was a national power. Kansas has the ball on its own 1 yard line. Pitch to Gale Sayers around the Kansas left end. Close enough that I thought we could have touched him. All the way for a touchdown and I swear Husker Freeman White was 1 step behind him the whole way. Not our TD but vivid in my memory nonetheless.

That was the only score Sayers made in the three games he played against Nebraska.

Of course. No smartphones, though.
