The Stand

Lincoln, November 17, 1984 -
In 1984, the Sooners reached the November 17 showdown at Nebraska with a chance to reach the Orange Bowl, though the unbeaten Huskers were ranked No. 1 in the nation. Tim Lashar's 32-yard feild goal two plays into the 4th quarter gave the Sooners a 10-7 lead, then a magnificent Sooner goal-line stand stonewalled Nebraska. On 4th down from the Sooners' 1-yard line, cornerback Brain Hall snuffed out tailback Jeff Smith's sweep. A fumbeld punt by the Huskers setup QB Danny Bradley's 29-yard TD run with 56 seconds left, and OU achieved an exciting 17-7 victory.

I miss OU/Nebraska at Thanksgiving. The Big XII is cool, but I sure miss that game being played every year.

Nasty defense.

1984 was a strange year. A lot happened at the end of the year for BYU to win the National championship.

Props to the Land Thieves for stopping us there. Still miss the glory days, but I hope Callahan and Co. will bring us back. Go Big Red.

It might have been a same day tape delay broadcast done by the local station.
