Most Iconic Run in NU history?

[Goal-line]

Who had the most Iconic run in NU history?

There are many. My vote would be either Crouch's 95 yard run against Missouri or Frazier's 75 yard run against Florida. Or, maybe Schlesinger's two TD runs against Miami. And, of course there is Johnny Rogers and his kick return against OU.

What is your choice?

Not iconic, but Burkheads option-option to Abdullah against Michigan. Put a smile on my face that day at least.

Yes, I was exactly 6 years old. Here is some Reynolds tape.

I like Goal-line and Prairie Sage’s choices. Another one would be Rozier’s TD against UCLA in ‘83. Probably won him the Heisman.

For me it was Tagge's keeper against LSU to win Nebraska's first National Championship.

 

[DuckTownHusker]

TFraz against Florida.

It's literally called, "The Run" and is well-known outside of just Nebraska fans.

Bobby Reynolds vs Missouri in 1950.

Well before my time, but my dad was on that team. Said one O lineman (don't remember who) had a bunch of major blocks (I remember 7, but maybe it was 3) on the play. That was the example that Dad gave me to always be looking for another guy to block down field.

First play that came to mind was Makovicka's "won't be denied" TD against Akron in '97.

Then Bobby Reynolds against Mizzou.

I deliberately skipped over Crouch's 95'er and Frazier's 75'er because they're too obvious.

Then I saw post #5 and realized Rozier's TD run against UCLA has to go on the list. I was sitting in Sec. 6, row 1, seat 1 for that one. Coolest part was after the play, you could still tell exactly where he had run, because there were fallen Bruins in his path, like a trail of bread crumbs.

You beat me to it on the Mackovicka’s run. It epitomized the husker spirit. Favorite play of all time. Defines “Determination “

The most "iconic" play in NU history is clearly JR's TD punt return in 71. He had a few better returns but not with so much on the line. TF's run gets a lot of press but even he admitted it was at a point in the game where the Florida guys were giving up...the press does love that play though. The press also loved the Mike Rozier 1 yard TD run, which wasn't much of anything to me. My personal favorites are Tagge's 1-yard lean vs LSU for the NC win, Kinney's last TD in the GOC, and Schlesinger's last TD vs Miami for the NC win.

When I came in I though the thread was "Most Ironic Run". This is all a sore disappointment. :O O:
