Oregon was in a down year that year. They had a transfer QB (Dakota Prukop from Montana State) who really was over his head. Justin Herbert would later that year start for Oregon and go on to have a storied career with the Ducks. It might have been different with Herbert playing? My business associate's son played DT for the Ducks (Henry Mondeaux) and was originally recruited by Pelini. Oregon's coach was later fired by Oregon and was handpicked by Chip Kelly. Henry plays for the Steeler now. It was one win by Riley over Oregon but when he was the Beaver's coach Oregon owned him. And yes, that was one LOUD game.
Man I was in the student section for that game...ONE OF THE SINGLE LOUDEST GAMES IVE EVER BEEN TO IN MY LIFE
That "going for 2" thing by Oregon helped Nebraska more than anything.
stephieirene1 !
What a dumb coaching strategy.
Used to love newby and westerkamp
I love that devious Matt Davison cackle at 5:03. :-P
This was Mike Rileys biggest win in a total disaster 3 seasons
It's actually the Michigan State game, but it's probably the second. And Oregon was terrible that year. How sad was his 3 seasons?
QB run game always important in college ball
@@beng4151 How sad? .500 level football. Better than Frost’s 9 games under .500
Riley should have a statue compared to Frost
@@spooky57571 in that case, Bo should have a building and a statue
I love the huskers.Go Big Red!
Seriously fun game I will never forget it.
What a game, wish I coulda been in Lincoln for that one
the best ne game until today, I was a freshman and we were 9-4, look where we are at now...
How Westercamp never made it in the NFL, i dont know.

I always suspected that Riley won this one because he had experience playing Oregon and knew what might work, if you had the personnel to do it.
@@joannleichliter4308 I agree. I always wondered what would have happened if Herbert played. He replaced Prokup later that year.
@@jongrant1215 Luckily for Nebraska (maybe), we'll never know.
Oregon should have won this game. Prukup under threw Charles Nelson at the end when he was wide open.
Such a gimmie game for Nebraska.
Armstrong is probably NU's best QB in 2 decades
you must've forgotten about how explosive Taylor Martinez was
3:46. Typical idiot play by Riley and Langsdorf. 2nd and 6 on the 12 yard line and you throw a swing pass? They are incompetent to the nth degree.
Worst Oregon team in the last 15 years
