Jones ran right at me on Pick 6....Without question...Loudest Moment I've heard at OB...Thats 190+ UM games...75+ Fin games....when he crossed the GL...It felt like the OB was coming down..

I had the same experience. Sat about 20 rows up in the north wez. Have never witnessed pandemonium quite like that.

Coach E won 2 NCs with JJ's kids, JJ won 1! Erickson doesn't get enough credit for his work at UM. No one had more talent than the 86 team that lost to Penn State, not one of Jimmy's best moments. UM outgained the Lions like 450-150 in total yards and were better at every position on the field. That game was a giveaway.

Dennis knew Xs and Os, but our OLs and QBs just couldn't do it despite all-world defenses in 93-94. Gino was good enough not to fook it up in 92 but we looked like clowns in the trenches in the title game. The 94 team would have run away with the national title if the OL and/or QB play was even slightly above average.

Agree, we were getting lazy and soft at OL in those days. Still almost, and probably should have, pulled off the win against one of Nebraska's better teams.

The offense couldn't get one fooking first down in the 4th quarter. Even 2-3 first downs, we probably win the game.

Pretty sure we had a converted TE at OT that game as well.

It was also extremely loud when FSU missed that final kick in 2000.

But with 1/3 of the stadium dead from dehydration (the OB ran out of water and beer in the 3rd), it probably wasn't the loudest lol.

It is difficult to play QB on your back! Costa, while not a great QB, was the victim of the Huskers just wearing UM down in the trenches. He took a beating in that game. Bama did the same thing in the 92 NC. They had studs in their front seven, we had a 236lb left tackle. Our lack of o lines certainly cost us

RB was so-so...and completely flubbed the Marshall Faulk recruitment....People don't realize how quick Faulk would've been a Cane, if we would have recruited him as a RB and not a DB...

Faulk said he went to LSU because Erickson went to the NFL.

Offense struggled behind another awful o line. Played #1 Nebraska in the Orange Bowl Nee Years night and the Huskers wore the D down late to win 24-17. Tied at 17 mid 4th qtr Costa missed a guy uncovered 20 yards behind the secondary for a sure TD. May have been a different game. Anybody remember who the receiver was

Was that the Tommie Frazier game? I was 4, but pops always attribute that L to Osborne putting Frazier in late in the game against our worn down D

Yes....but our DL was banged up to begin with...If Riley..Holmes and Lang are healthy..we win the game.
