Loved watching Dan play!

Strange to think that after building a lead like this, we needed some luck to win the game. CU came back, tied the game 30-30, and missed a FG at the end of regulation, after which NU went on to win in OT.

He could go all the way!

Alexander was big and strong, but completely North & South, no agility to the sidelines. Plus, I remember for as strong as he was anytime a defender would get a helmet on him he'd fall, rarely broke tackles which was strange for his size.

[jakesnod]

@jim3535 you have a poor memory. Dan used to truck people like Joel Mackovicka, Judd Davies and Steve Kriewald.

[tylerstudly12]

speed and power, what a combo

[twojeeze]

I was at this game. I thought for sure Alexander would be caught by Kelly, but he got dusted.

[redfroradio]

DIDNT he just die ?

[bigt2454]

no, Stevie Hicks from Iowa State died a few weeks ago. He was from Omaha.

Ben Kelly was an NCAA 100m champion back in his day. Its not like he outran "just a corner", we're talking a "fastest collegian in the nation" corner.

[CRXPhil]

@todd2k  Correct

[bowhnt999]

Dan is the man. Beautiful family, man of God. Love you bro. Miss you man.
