The fact the Huskies were down 21-9 late in the 3rd quarter and won 36-21 proved to many this team was for real. Still feel blessed that I got to see this team play in person 3 times
If the game was in Seattle Nebraska would have lost by 50
@@babykevinxoxo Oh that would be so freaking awesome back in 1991
I still say that Brunell was a better and more dynamic QB than BJH.
@@Mr.56Goldtop Yeah agreed. But when Brunell got injured before the 91' season everyone was a little skeptical about Hobert. But his first game against Stanford was fun to watch sitting in the UW section because everyone was relieved that he looked solid in his first start. Also it was very very evident Brunell had a much better NFL career.
@@Mr.56Goldtop hobert was hot head
Still remember how quiet the crowd was after Barry's run. The game wasn't even that close. Huskies hurt themselves with penalties and turnovers and still won by 15. We were two of only a few Huskies fans in the upper deck...good times!
The fact that the '91 Huskies and the '91 Canes didn't meet to decide the National Championship is one of the great tragedies of College Football, and exemplifies how utterly horrible the old bowl systems with their conference tie ins and the sleazy greed of all the beneficiaries of that system was. That would of been some game.
Don James seemed happy to have a title. I think Washington would have won if they played. At the time I thought Canes would have won. Found next year Canes could lose a game for the Natty
In Big time College football 3 losses 📉 doesn't go over well
Or 1994 Neb vs PSU. Those 2 matchups (91 UW vs Miami, 94 Neb vs PSU) I will go to my grave angry we never got to see.
Because there’s no greed in college football now.
More greedy now I'd say, they've killed the PAC. Greed is truly a horrible thing on humanity.
Granted this wasnt one of Osborne's best teams and this was easily the best UW team in UW history. It would be a couple years until NU went on that insane run from 93-97 where they lost a total of about 3 games in those 5 years (FSU in the 94 orange, at ASU in 96, and vs TX in the inaugural big12 title game in 12/96 - had there not been a big12 title game for Nebraska to stumble in, they may have very well played FSU in the sugar bowl). My biggest thing is how GREAT this UW team was and how little credit or recognition they get. They were so good on both sides of the ball, I think defensively maybe second only to the 1986 Oklahoma sooners who shut out 5 of their 12 opponents (and would have been 6 had arkansas not scored a very late TD in the 87 orange bowl after being down 0-42). This UW team had such awesome balance, thats what made them so special ahd hard to beat - they could beat you even if their offense had an off day (14-3 at USC) or somewhat like this game here when their defense was off to a slow start (trailed 9-21 in the 3rd quarter before their offense just exploded). I truly think they would have beaten Miami this season on a neutral field - now beating them in the orange bowl would have been obviously a bit more of a challenge, but remember their 94 team who was like 7-4 went into the OB and beat a great 94 UM team 38-20. Bottom line is this UW team doesnt get nearly enough credit for being the great team they were when people talk about the best teams in college football history and SHOULD be mentioned in conversations with teams like 95 Nebraska and 01 Miami. They were scary good. I am not going to say they were better than either of those teams but I will say they could have given either a game and even beaten either as well.
What about Miami 1987
Also Miami 2001
@@jesskelley4726 87 canes were great but didnt win their bowl game (which was played in the orange bowl) convincingly enough.
@@jesskelley4726 Good argument there, and I did mention them in my initial post.
87 canes were good beat a good Oklahoma team in the orange bowl Also 92 Alabama
One of Don James' greatest wins.
This Wasington team should be given more publicity as the greatest of all time. Lot of NFL talent on this team.
@@jamiecrawford8133 Magical season. One for the ages. Interesting that their starting QB (Mark Brunell) was out, and the backup (Billy Joe Hobert) was at the controls.
Washington was the best team in the country that year and one of the very best I’ve ever seen...comparable to the Frazier teams...would have been a great game had those teams played each other!
John Evans , MIAMI
John Evans comparable to Frazier’s team? How can you compare? Frazier’s team didn’t win anything till 1994 he wasn’t even playing on Nebraska team at this time.
This would be the last home game Tom Osborne ever lost and it would be a LONG time before Nebraska lost at home period.

Their home winning streak ended with Texas winning in Lincoln during the 98 season I believe on Halloween
I've followed Nebraska my whole life (35+). This is the best team to play and win in Lincoln in this timeframe (except for, maybe, the 1995 Cornhuskers). Nebraska was a top 12 team that year. Won the Big 8. Wasn't even in UW's class, despite playing at home
It was 26 ,16 Nebraska end of the third quarter. Washington wasn't that much more talented. With Tommy Frazier they may win this game?
Frazier committed to Nebraska and started I believe half way through 92? With Frazier Nebraska has a chance to win both games.
I will admit Washington matched up better with Miami 91 and could have possibly beat them 92
orange bowl
Washington outrushed Nebraska by about 200 yards in this game, averaging about 7 yards per carry. Had 2 100 yard rushers. Had twice as many first downs and 10 minutes more possession. Had twice as many penalties as well. Nebraska MAY have won with Frazier (though he was in high school at the time) but Washington may have won by 25 but for the penalties. Washington was meaningfully better than Miami, particularly on offense, in 1991. The next year, 1992 - Nebraska and Washington were very similar. If Tommie Frazier is a returning starter in 1992 and not a true freshman, Nebraska likely is 11-0 heading into the Orange Bowl (which they likely would have lost, but still). If you read between the lines after this game, Osborne's quotes suggested that Washington was far above Nebraska. He almost never said anything like that, and never said it about FSU or Colorado, or Oklahoma after the 70s
@@jrino1979 I'll give you Washington was a great team especially 91, 92 but you're making it seem Nebraska didn't belong on the field with them. I think it's A vs A+?
I was speaking hypothetical with Frazier starting the 91 team ( yes he was in HS)..In 92 he became the starter I believe sometime shortly after the Washington loss.
That core of group who you're implying didn't belong on the Same field with Washington, won the national championship a couple of years later. Same core group with Frazier adding a few parts .
@@jrino1979 The reality is Miami should have played Washington in the 92 orange bowl . Conference politics prevented that.
As far as Osborne complimenting Washington . He actually did that a lot with teams like OU etc so not out of the ordinary.
"I don't think we're clear out of Washington's league," said Osborne. Sounds like he thinks some people may think that. Also sounds like he's conceding a somewhat meaningful difference between the two teams. I don't recall him saying that with much frequency. Maybe after the 89 FSU game, or OU in 85 (though I was a bit young for that). The only reason I'm "dying on the hill" for this is 1.) Due respect to the 91 Huskies, one of the best teams of my lifetime -MUCH better than the CU or UM teams that beat Nebraska and played for titles around this time and 2.) Not every Osborne team was a top5 team. From 88-91, Nebraska was good. It wasn't great, and that was ok. I would say Nebraska was B or B+ in this game and season. I think post-Osborne retirement his teams have been viewed as like Saban's last decade. Nebraska at its best was better than Saban's last decade. But at times Nebraska was merely good. And that's fine
I have always wanted to see this Husky team play the 95 Nebraska Team. Now that would have been a game. I also think one of Don James best teams, especially defensively, was the 1984 team that trashed Oklahoma in the Orange Bowl. I think that 84 team may have been his best, and would really challenge the 91 team.
I was at this game, so disappointing and I almost froze as the temperature plummeted near the end.
Yeah the wind really started whipping around in the upper deck in the 4th quarter. Gotta love that fickle Nebraska weather...
Need a Huskerdome
This aired regionally. The other game ABC aired at 8 PM that night was Georgia at Alabama, which aired mostly in the South.
In 1991, ABC wasn't airing primetime CFB games on a weekly basis. They only usually aired night games in the early weeks of the season, as well as Thanksgiving weekend (which usually was Notre Dame at USC or Stanford), as Saturday night was still considered a strong programming night for the major networks.
As the ratings of first-run scripted programming on Saturday nights declined over the years, the major networks stopped for the most part airing new scripted shows on Saturday nights. Repeat programming now dominates Saturday nights, though now Saturday nights are often used for live sports too. ABC began airing CFB games on Saturday night on an almost-weekly basis in 2006, that year two Saturdays were off due to the World Series. From 2007-14, Saturday Night Football had two off weeks where ABC aired a NASCAR race instead. ABC did not want to air NASCAR races on Sunday night to protect their Sunday night lineup, ironically, Fox has been willing to air NASCAR races on Sunday night, and their regular Sunday Night shows are considered more prestigious than those on ABC, as it is a lineup of animated sitcoms anchored by The Simpsons.
NBC Sports replaced ESPN/ABC as NASCAR's second half broadcaster in 2015, enabling ABC to air Saturday Night Football every week of the college football season for the first time.
Even though the night game is considered ABC's top game every week, during the last 11 years it held the rights to the game, Michigan-Ohio State never aired on SaNF, not even in 2006 when it was #1 VS. #2. Disney executives probably regret not being more assertive in getting that edition of the Big Ten's biggest rivalry played at night. Fox currently holds the rights to the game, and has always aired it at noon, wanting to have that timeslot be their top one. The Big Ten for many years was hesitant about playing night games in November, they now regularly play at night in the early weeks of the month, but have one done so once on the next-to-last week, and never on Thanksgiving weekend, which to me is just as bad as Southern teams refusing to go up north for OOC games late in the season.
The refusal to play night games on Thanksgiving weekend when the MAC, a G5 conference with a similar footprint to the B1G, plays night games all throughout November, many on Tuesday and Wednesday nights, is expected to be a sticking point for the Big Ten's next TV contract negotiations. I think the Big Ten should sever ties with Fox over the character of Fox News, and send a message in the process. Fox would be forced to sell their stake in Big Ten Network to one of the companies that would be a partner beginning in 2024.
I bet that all those people complaining about tom Osbourne's bowl record wouldn't mind having him back now.
21 Century has been unkind to Nebraska
Would love to see a UW ‘91 v Nebraska ‘95 game if I had the time machine
That would be cooler , but I'd prefer 91 Washington vs 91 Miami
No problem, with either of them.
How many people in 1991 would believe you if you told them, in 2023, both Washington and Nebraska are in the Big Ten?
Going into Lincoln and winning in that era was a herculean task. Seriously hostile environment. I always wondered what would have happened to the Canes dynasty if instead of getting to play literally on their home field in the Orange Bowl they had to instead come to Lincoln (in January no less). Would have been a different story I think.
Esp in Jan 1984. Neb would have stomped them and won the natty.
50:40 loved Bryant - also W uniforms
This Washington team was loaded on both sides of the ball.
After all these years Keith Jackson still sounds good. Especially in stereo
Bob Griese must have been stunned/disappointed when Nebraska lost 😂😢
The refs were out of control. Wow. How good was this husky team?
After this loss was when Osborne focused more on speed players especially from Florida. Getting Tommie Frazier really started their amazing run
@Cavalcade of Fred Couples Yes he did! And they would beat Miami and Florida to win the 1st two nc's he won!
And Washington losing in the middle 1980s lead to Don James recognizing they needed to get speed, also.
Odd hearing 🤔 Tom Osborne talking about losing 📉 big games as he's about to lose another
Washington was a good team that beat a decent Michigan team. Miami beat a weak (in bowls that is) Nebraska team plus Canes were playing at home. Don’t forget that if FSU made that field goal, there wouldn’t be any arguments.
In 1990, the person on the rules committee that dealt with field goals died in a boating accident. He always voted against narrowing the width of goal post. New person voted to narrow it.
Fsu beat the crap out of that same Michigan team that year and we beat fsu.. I watched Washington games that year and that Washington team would not have beat my 91 canes. We wiped the floor with Nebraska we shut them out and it's not because we played them in the orange bowl. We were a better team and our defense was alot better than Washington. Matter of the 91 FSU team would have beat this Washington team.
Looks like that anaerobic workouts for Nebraska Lineman didn’t last long enough against best Don James Huskies Team.
Maybe they should have worked on their core
The only thing that keeps this Washington team from being one of the all time great teams in history is the inconsistency of the QB play. Definitely our Achilles heel.
Visually this is a weird game to rewatch. It's astounding that UW had over 500 yards of offense with over eight minutes left in this game and only 22 points. Without the penalties and turnovers this game would have been 65-14. And Steve Emtman is still the best collegiate football player I have ever seen.
Go Dawgs! What an awesome year that was!
Do you have Nebraska vs Iowa state??
This was not the best team in UW history, it’s the 1984 team and you can also make a case for 61 and 62, 90.
The 1984 team was actually Washington's best defense. They had no quarterback at all.
@@davidrichardson6474 My dudes Tim and Steve
2:22:30 I sure would hate to be #31 in the film session at the next practice.
That dude would of got buried by the Nebraska coaching staff in the film room. Not so much Osbourne, but Charlie Mcbride the defensive coordinator. During this time Osbourne's tenure Nebraska was known for good tackling, so he definatly would have been called out.
Way to call a coin toss wrong Warren!!!
Most excellent play calling by Don James on offense
Until the Streak Ended in 1998 to Texas Halloween Saturday.
This is the First Time Nebraska lose at home and it WON'T BE THE LAST until Jenny Foxworth's Freshmen Year in College, and Hotaru Tomoe aka Sailor Saturn's 12th Grade Senior Year in 1998.
Biggest mistake Nebraska made was going to the Big 10, that very move cost them there recruiting base in both California, Texas , and Florida because those kids dnt want to play in the Big 10
Not much choice now
Mario Bailey has to be the greatest offensive player Udub history 2:35:01 lol
1:39:41 LIFTING
It's a 4-3 Keith Jackson not a 3-4
Maybe Keith never got over being replaced on Monday Night Football 😂😅
@ 2:11:13 the dude doesn't turn around to see the ball ! The announcer is stupid ! It's clearly pi ! The call was right
In due time Washington vs Nebraska 😎
Sadissinntit you ski can’t win.
As I look back at this I realize that I really didnt think about politics much and I didn't vote in this election. What it reminds me of is that I didnt start being disgusted by the Democratic party until seeing how they reacted to losng this election. Being gracious in victory and classy in defeat are two huge points of character for us as a Country and as individuals. The Dems reacted like a spoiled child who didnt have anyone come to their Birthday party. Everything is someone else's fault (mostly Trump's of course). They still have yet to realize that their is a huge part of the Country who vehemently, and correctly are opposed to the direction they want to take the Country. The 2016 Election was their wake up call and they have stubbornly refused to listen.
What's this have to do with football?
If It was in Seattle Nebraska would have lost by 30 or more
Lmao
Kevin is Nice they played in Seattle the next season and UW smoked em
What about your Huskies in 1997 and 1998 when they played Nebraska? They got their asses handed to them.
@@GeorgeFlippin - That's a moot point. We're talking about the 91 and 92 seasons. Stay on topic.
