Hagan to Flannigan, 1989 CU vs. NU

[frofro73]

make that seven

[NebHusk90]

As a diehard UNL fan, this play made me want to become an option QB, and Tommie Frazier just sealed the deal...

[afghanboy213]

whats the all time CU record vs NU??? oh yea NU dominated every time. CU still sucks balls

[Alex427779]

Usonian That Was Actually Probly Inches From being a Forward pass he gets rid of it maybe a millisecond before the rb passes to him

[UsonianAC]

I'm not a Nebraska fan by any means, but that was an illegal forward pass by Hagan.

[rudeboy58]

CU sucks balls!!!!

[LarryRickenbacker]

Love the Triple Option! I remember seeing this play while enjoying Pizza at Mr. Gatti's.

[frofro73]

6 folks don't know what good football is

[ShanesDominoez]

One word : BAMF

[7supreme]

SAL! CU for life baby! ! !

[MTG5150]

Difference betwwen TMQ and TSG? TSG crashes sites. TMQ merely nudges.

Also, did anyone mention number 17 on D? That was a reprehensibly bad defensive play. As soon as the QB crosses the L.O.S. it's a running play, you jam the receiver to prevent the lateral and trust your LB's, or cut off the QB and trust your safeties to make the play. He did neither and the football gods chortled

[jtleake]

X-Run? I thought this was called the Option?

I think I agree with magicux. At 1:16, it looks like the ball is pitched while he touches the zero in the 40. This would be about the 41-42 yard line, right? The receiver doesn't catch the ball until he touches the 40 yard line as seen in 1:17.

[aescrc]

Doesn't this kind of remind you of the Bills/Titans playoff game when the game winning TD was a kickoff then throw across the field to another runner? That was all the controversy of that game because it was debatable on whether the throw was backwards or not.

In this video, the QB looks like he is clearly pitching backwards, but with the physics of his (and the ball's) momentum, it's actually still moving the same direction as the runners.

[magichux]

Was that not a forward pass? I'm not 100% sure of the rule, but check where the QB was when he released the ball and where the back was when he caught it.

[mogilnyfan89]

@magichux

If you look closer to where Flannigan catches the ball he actually had to reach back for it. It wasn't a forward pitch.

Tuesday Morning Quarterback just linked to this.

[habbadou]

Hagan could have run it in himself.

[tauras88d]

yeah too bad the buff magic is dead forever, some little school from the mac confrence blasted colorado by 50 pts. and wvu is salavating to get their hands on colorado the same way they did ecu today.

[cubuffs42]

Some little school from the MAC? Toledo is no Oklahoma but they are respectable, they did beat Michigan in the Big House last year, even if Michigan was 3-9, that is still an imprevvise achievement. And plus it wasn't "50 points," it was 16.

[pcjames4]

I remember watching this live and almost in tears thinking about the execution....that cut block on the safety was awesome as well to spring Hagan.

[ojitodepajaro]

Darian Hagan was the best!

[nierikav]

What a small stadium.

[radio187]

Get a clue, guy. Folsom is one of the best venues in college football. The place is like the Fenway Park of college football. And no, I'm not a CU alum.

[nierikav]

I have a clue because I've been there. It has a nice view of the mountains but the stadium is small and the fan base might be the biggest pack of d-bags in college football.

54-38

[ashbyave]

The option run to its absolute perfection.

[xnorex111]

wow talk about memories...my friend and I used to pretend we were these 2 workin the option..lol

[deafguyclass07]

Why did they remove astroturf?

[sniperpro123456789]

Aw hagan was my all time favorite All-Amarican player!

[westt34]

you kno he has a son that led california in interception his son is a starter for the cal bears i went 2 highschool with him

[pnutbutrncrackers]

Great and memorable play, for sure. Man, how I miss the way Hagan ran the option!

[billybfrom303]

frankmilitary,

Lastly, the military is made up primarily of brain-washed, dead end fools. As a Husker fan (brain-washed) you make the perfect soldier. Do all of us Americans a favor and go "Protect our Freedom"...you bunch of government tools. You guys go over to Iraq and die for NOTHING!! It breaks my heart.

Our "Freedom" hasn't been at stake since the Civil War. Ask a black man about that.

I dare you to tell me I'm wrong.

[pokemonmaster481]

You're wrong.

[cedriclovesaaron]

u;ll never know dipshit.

[billybfrom303]

frankmilitary said:

"The pitch WAS forward and he stepped out at about the 25!"

Wrong twice military boy. Go look at the play frame by frame if you must. Hagan pitched the ball (behind him) a full yard ahead of Flannigan. As far as being in bounds, Colorado wore black shoes. Show me the frame where the white sideline was blocked by the black shoe.

I'll be wating for that.

In the mean time, give credit where credit is due you sore LOSER.

[buffsfreak]

how was that foreward?!

[Sierra688]

The Huskers never saw anything like that before.

[rmkusmc]

Thats just CU doing what they do best, benefiting from horrible officiating

[24Lancelot]

LOL, that's a good joke!

[hankseptember]

i remember watching this play,i nearly crapped myself when Hagan decided to pitch after getting 40 yards...it was Colorados biggest game ever at the time...they were #2 and set for the Orange Bowl against ND.Buffs had a kick azz all around great team here.

[frankmilitary]

The pitch WAS forward and he stepped out at about the 25!

[mcoltrane5]

Turner Gill to Jeff Smith in the Orange Bowl was way better than this.

[IntenseLowerChafing]

Wait, watch the slo-mo at 1:17...that was a forward lateral!

[7supreme]

I'd rather keep fucking your wife while you worry about who has the better weed. By the way, I'm done and finished correcting your ignorant ass. So you continue to play cyber hard ass all you want loser. C U whenever, however.

[BlackNGoldBuff13]

What am I ignorant about?. I pity you because you're so angry about this. As soon as you grow up and stop having the maturity of a 12 year old boy we can have an intelligent football discussion

[7supreme]

I wasn't talking to you bro. I'm a Buff's fan just like you. The comment was directed towards av8ter1970, not to you. Read the previous comments, and you'll see I had to educate his ass. I'm not mad HAHAHA.

[7supreme]

Okay.....1st of all it's you're ( you are )not "your" 2nd the 1988,89,90,91 teams were great teams in college football as well as pro football; accented by the number of pro player plaing in the NFL. 3rd, it's (it is) a great team bacause of where CU came from, they weren't (were not) very good up until this point and those of us who really appreciate CU ball recognize it. But thanks fro trying to change our minds with your cute little comment. (wacky weed....that's so cute) HAHAHAHAHAHA

[24Lancelot]

OK...first of all, it's because, not bacause. I mean, you seem bent on correcting someone. Take a slice of your own.

As far as "the best option play ever", no, I wouldn't go that far. I mean, we all know where option football came from.

[BlackNGoldBuff13]

65-51

And I didn't even have to go back two years to get any of those losses ;). Get some new material dickweed.

[24Lancelot]

Now I KNOW a Colorado fan doesn't want to bring up blowouts, especially since they've been getting them the last...how many years has CU had a football team?

10-19 (to a Div. AA school...AT HOME!)

[BlackNGoldBuff13]

we've had a football team since 1902, and are in the top 15 all time wins among college football teams. Why do you keep brining up Mt. State, nobody even cares anymore at CU, it sure as hell didn't hurt out top 15 recruiting class.

[24Lancelot]

Why do I keep bringing up Montana St? Why do you keep bringing up 65-51? You wanna talk smack, you're gonna get some thrown back.

WOW...top 15 all time wins! Now, if Nebraska stayed off the field for 15 years and CU won every game, you'd catch up to them!

BTW - Don't give yourself too much credit, CU ranks 16th. LOL

[BlackNGoldBuff13]

Yea, but come on dude. It's soooooo weak using smack from two years ago, because IT DOESN'T FREAKING APPLY TO THE MODERN DAY YOU FUCKING IDIOT. I'm brining up 65-51 because that recently happened. How 'bout I bring up some 2001 smack, why not 2002? Hey it's all fair game remember that time CU beat Nebraska in 1948? What had Nebraska done recently? JACK SHIT, you're just as pathetic if not worse than CU in recent history.

[24Lancelot]

OOOOOH, I SEE! So, bringing up last year counts, but not the year before when 80% of the players and 95% of the coaches are the same! Great logic, brainiac!

Nice to see you using capital letters, that means you're yelling and I have control of your attitude. LOL, most Husker fans ALWAYS have control of Buffalo fan's attitudes.

[24Lancelot]

BTW - losing to Baylor is worse than a blowout. I can't BELIEVE you guys lost to Baylor! Well, then again, I look at your game against Montana St...at home...AND YOU LOST! lol, what a great team!

[BlackNGoldBuff13]

What the hell are you talking about? We beat Baylor 43-23

[24Lancelot]

The year before, idiot. Seems like losing to BAYLOR would stand out...even if Iowa St. lost to them. LOL

[BlackNGoldBuff13]

Are you freaking stuck in 2006? IT ISN'T 2006 ANYMORE.

[24Lancelot]

Funny, you like bringing up 2007 but you don't want to remember 2006. Aren't they BOTH in the past? LOL

Yeah, I'd probably want to forget the 2006 season, too. I mean, going 2-10, which Nebraska has NEVER done, losing to BAYLOR...Montana St....Kansas...COLORADO ST! What's the difference between bringing up last year vs. the year before, Chachi?

[BlackNGoldBuff13]

Because last year actually has some realistic implications heading into next year. Like extra practices for bowl games, etc. How was your bowl game?

[24Lancelot]

No shit, Sherlock! And the previous year had some realistic implications heading into last year! See how it works?

How was our bowl game? Which one? Nebraska has a long history of attending them. I know your team hasn't. LOL

[BlackNGoldBuff13]

Well, before I block you, i'd like to say I understand where you're coming from. If I was a Nebraska fan and the future was so unimaginably hopeless, i'd want to stay in the past too. With the hiring of Bo and a shitty recruiting class, I can understand your actions. Nebraska football is going nowhere but down, so why not live in the past? It's the only safe place. Have a nice day :) BLOCKED

[24Lancelot]

You can try blocking me, it doesn't work. Besides, if you block me, that means I'm out doing you and you can't handle it.

Shitty recruiting class? Bo did in1 1/2 months what your coach tried to do in one year. So, what's your CU's prediction...4-7? Maybe a whopping improvement to 5-6??? LOL

[hsker24fan]

NOT BLOCKED! HAAAAAAAA, dumbass!

You can try blocking me, it doesn't work. Besides, if you block me, that means I'm out doing you and you can't handle it.

Shitty recruiting class? Bo did in 1 1/2 months what your coach tried to do in one year. So, what's your CU's prediction...4-7? Maybe a whopping improvement to 6-5??? LOL

[ohoafm]

Probably 1-0 Vs Huskers next year and that all that counts.

[hsker24fan]

Well, you can hope in one hand and shit in the other and see which gets filled first. All you Buffaloe fans do is hope to beat one team and that's us. Must be sad to envy a program, cuz we don't envy you nor think of you as a rival.

[nuggets4809]

Yeah ya do. Now go attend the college world series, cause thats like the worlds fair to you guys.

[24Lancelot]

And the city gets fuckin rich off of it. LOL

Hey...how'd ur nuggets do this year? LOL, one of ur stars wants traded. I would, too.

[7supreme]

As recently as TODAY, CU is one win closer. And your coach is about to hit the streets.

[dWeBB18]

Darian Hagan is my older cousin.

[ClassicCity17]

Sorry 7supreme, go see a game in the SEC and witness a real program. I am a UGA alumn but also rooted for CU. I even lived in Boulder and went to a game at Folsom Field and was dissapointed by the lame Colorado fans. In 2006 CU came to play before a sold-out crowd of screaming fans in Athens. I regret that in 2010 the UGA team will have to travel to Boulder to play in a half-empty stadium full of half-ass fans. The Dawgs deserve better.

[BlackNGoldBuff13]

CU will be very good by then, it should be a good game to watch. WTF are you talking about? Half empty seats?! Did you watch the Florida State game by any chance?

[24Lancelot]

Dude, you got that right! CU fans are worse than Miami fans. Even when they're winning (OK, I know were talking rarities, here), they don't sell out.

Notice someone said to you, "What about the Florida St. game?". Wow...CU fans should be proud of 1 sellout in the last how many years? LOL

[7supreme]

One of the greatest college teams ever.......long live True CU ball!!!!

[hsker24fan]

Ever? LOL, dude, don't say that while I'm drinking. I spit pop all over my screen. LOL

[NebHusk90]

Yeah that was some speed right there...who was faster between you, figures, EB, Pritch?

[BlackNGoldBuff13]

And we'll pretend your kicker actually made that "game winning" field goal in 1999. I guess we're even.

[24Lancelot]

And we'll pretend your kicker made that extra point that didn't cause an OT, in which you lost.

Lady, give up.

[bbaddog]

it was a forward lateral..He released the ball at the 42 and it was caught at the 40. What a Farce!!!

[dabbott14]

Tommie Frazier?

[Halcyon3]

How can you say that is one of the best option plays ever? Seriously, it pretty cool and all, but it doesnt even come close to being a classic play.

[cornfednebraskaneer]

hmmm...Crouch had at least 10 runs exactly like that, except he didn't pitch it like a weeny.

[KoreyAusTex]

Tommie frazier keeping it against the Gators! They had him gang tackled and could not hold on!

[buffsblow]

ya no shit...maybe you should check out the tommie frazier run...it was a national championship game and he actually had to do break a tackle...good game against montana st by the way

[larrymcg421]

How about the Jeff Smith TD against Miami in the 84 Orange Bowl?

[bohica31812]

A better option play? How about when Tommie Frazier broke about 9 tackles against Florida?

[markhchristman]

he said OPTION plays... tell me of a better option play

[horheygonzalas]

I was there that day. Best game I've ever been to!!!

[93Buff]

One of the greatest option plays in College football history!!!!

[briant420]

Lay off the crack.

[eliotmays]

It was a great play, but thats a pretty bold statment. GBR

[BurnieB]

It was one of the greatest option plays ever.  Run by 2 of the best.

[bbaddog]

it was a forward lateral. The ball was released at the 42 yard line and caught at the 40. What a Farce!!!
