The Bow

That was a great defense performance by OU that day in Lincoln. I remember Hollaway going down a couple weeks before the game and Barry told Charles Thompson he would shock the nation if he went out and played like he practiced. Broderick Thomas and Steve Taylor did do a little too much trash talking before that game and it definitely played in OU's favor. If I remember correctly, NU had something like 12 staight 3 and outs that game. I will miss the OU and NU rivalry.

@bherron34 Didn't Thomas say something like "the flat out truth is OU shouldn't even be on the same field with us?" I remember it being posted all over campus

[JaysHuskers]

what a great rivalry that will come to and end pretty soon if nebraska goes to the BIG 10

[Bobaklives]

Now that's the option at its finest.

[rynoklh]

How many people remember what Nebraska's quarterback said before the game. THEY CANNOT PLAY WITH US. Oh tylenol Osborne that defense was harder than I thought.

[darthhvader]

[mcoltrane5]

I love the option!

[richardsmatt]

It's called the wishbone

[bwburke94]

This is a classic option play.

[a55kiker]

One thing you cant coach and that ou had plenty of from the early seventies till the late eighties was SPEED!

[huskerfan4life]

The Nebraska players talked the talk before the game, they just couldn't walk the walk.

[sincityguy]

This was from the '86 game, where Broderick Thomas and Steve Taylor were talking trash the week before the game, saying Nebraska was going to blow out OU.

[SFFOOL76]

nope this touchdown was 87, nebraska wore all red in 86.

why nebraska had back to back home games beats me.

[oc61579]

Yeah i was wondering for all these years what was the reason for that.

[cb71154]

Nebraska played at OU in 68 & 69. So OU owned a game to NU. If I remember right it had to do with stadium construction, but I could be wrong. Shame they don't play every year, one of the best big games in college football.

[dhamm818]

You were right except the '86 part. Taylor was talkin mad trash about a young Charles Thompson. I heard Taylor couldn't even eat dinner after the game that night because his foot was still crammed down his throat. The is only one Big Red and last I checked they still played in Norman.

"A sixty-five yard bolt of lightening!" Love it!

[uricehe4]

I miss the wishbone. It was a thing of beauty when executed well. Don't understand why nobody can run it these days.

[frankmilitary]

#47 Leroy Etienne totally gave up on that play. He should have made the tackle.

[rushingfn]

Too bad the only schools that run a true option offense these days are service academies.

[scorpion8667]

BOOOMER!!

[SooNerdy]

SOONER!!

[scorpion8667]

yeaaaaaaaaaaa baby! No 3 today! Lookin good!
