And despite that run that day, NU still lost. 21-17, if memory serves correct.
Say what you want, but it didn't get the moniker, "The Run" for nothing. It was total domination by the Huskers. People who don't even care about the Huskers, know about that play, so there you have it. Also, you see it the way you want to, not the way it was.No, I just see it for what it was. Guys we're just falling off of him. They were done. That run doesn't happen like that if they aren't getting beat by 40. Phillips run in that game alone was better than Tommies.
Frazier's run in the Fiesta Bowl, Crouch vs Mizzou, TM vs Wisconsin
this one is more personal for me because i saw it in person, but as far as silencing a crowd TM's run vs Washington in Seattle to start the second half has to be right up there. The Huskers had driven down the field right before half time basically running the same play over and over with Burkhead and Helu gutting the Husky defence.
First play of the second half TM fakes the handoff and takes off around the left end and he's just gone. that stadium went silent.
