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!

@todd2k Correct
-
@jim3535 you have a poor memory. Dan used to truck people like Joel Mackovicka, Judd Davies and Steve Kriewald.

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.

speed and power, what a combo

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

but you like the corn huskers...

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.
