Facing a critical fourth down late in the 1984 Orange Bowl, Nebraska IB Jeff Smith dashes 25 yards for a touchdown on a spectacular option play. Coach Tom Osborne makes a gutsy call to go for the two-point conversion and the win. The Miami Hurricanes would go on to win 31-30 and collect their first national championship. A definitive moment in Nebraska football and college football history. Go Big Red!

    I know it turned out to be fail, but you have to respect a coach who has the guts to go for it.

    You do realize Nebraska won 3 titles 10 years after this game running the option.

    I wonder if those proponents of overtime, and playoff, and everything else, realize that they have legislated out any opportunity of this ever happening again, by making changes to rules that they believe are positive.. This moment will never, ever happen again in CFB, think about that for a moment..

    In the pros, too.. Sudden death overtime did not need to be changed.. In fact, if you are gonna make a change, then eliminate overtime except in elimination games, and force coaches to play to win.

    I love it when people call us cornholers. Yes, I am a cornholer, as a matter of fact I cornhole fans of opposing teams whenever I get the chance. But it does make it kind of awkward when they start moaning with pleasure....

    Except Nebraska used the option to win back to back in the 90's. This sisnt mark the end, this was a great game that sould have ended differently if they would have kicked the PAT. But it wasnt meant ot be, and thats fine.

    In no way did this reshape Division 1 football. The speed didn come into play until the late 90's when athletes started becoming more mature at a younger age.

    It hurt me as a 11 year-old. I learned to realize Dr. Tom made the right decision! He was right!
