As a Bama fan, I'll admit this was definitely ONE of the Greatest, if not the Greatest, Rivalry in College Football. I miss this rivalry.
What about the Iron Bowl?
@TexasRocks HillCountry can't forget The world largest outdoor cocktail party in Jacksonville Florida
No. Michigan v. Ohio State.
@jeffclark7888 Georgia vs Florida plays in Jacksonville Florida in a bowl like atmosphere plus the world's largest outdoor cocktail party & the Iron Bowl are better than Michigan vs Ohio State
@@juliansmith1951 Wrong. Not close.
I really wish this game still happened every year.
I was at this game, grandparents lived in Norman and we were there for Thanksgiving that year . It got cold and rainy in the second half. Great game and Hook’em Horns!
Lifelong OU fan. I was at that game, and I was in the south end zone when our left tackle jumped offside on the 2 yard line. That was a down year for us, and we played a regular season game in Hawaii the next week to close out that year without a bowl trip.
That Nebraska team was incredible. I'm still sick about the Miami game in the Orange Bowl, nearly 40 years after the fact.
I was in the north end zone. OU came close to winning.
You and me both.
Plus one. Great rivalry, the best. Yeah, heartbroken on the Miami game. Much respect to OU. Love Barry's hat. Beat Nebraska across the front. Lmao. I'd love to see a coach wear that today. Barry was crazy. 😂😂😂 GBR ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
Gary Bender was that guy back in those days. Great broadcaster👍
From an Oklahoma Sooner: that was a good game by the Huskers. They should have won it all that year.
the only reason they didn't win it all was the odd shape of the field at Penn State
@@kimhansen8720 That Penn St. game was in 1982.
2 of the all time great names Steinkuhler and Buster Rhymes....
Amazes me looking back, as talented as Fryar was, and Gill was a decent passer compared to most of the option QBs he had for the next 10-15 years, that Fryar wasn't thrown to more. Played forever in the league, obviously talented, put up huge numbers after N.E., he used Johnny Rodgers (as O.C.) in the passing game way back in the early '70s way more. Not so much this game(weather), but in general. I would have thought Fryar would have put up bigger numbers, maybe Gill's arm wasn't as good as i remember, i was a kid.
Tremendous effort by OU. There were 3 future NFL stars on Nebraska's offense in the skill position alone. This was one of if not the best rivalries in college football. Switzer would get his revenge more than a few times
One of the all time great Nebraska vs Oklahoma games
1971? I played that game
Loved tis game! We had prime student seats a few rows up from OU team. And at one point the rain was so hard they had to stop the game briefly. .
Nice to see Rathman early in a very distinguised college and NFL career.
As Barry Switzer said, this was when Nebraska was really the black shirts. They were a really good defensive football team. Boomer Sooner.
Thank you, Neil Harris.
One of the best rivalries ever, until Nebraska went to the Big 10. They are playing each other last year and again this year, but it just feels like any other game now.
Cheerleader at 27:30 is adorable
2:19:38 How ironic that Miami would beat the Huskers five weeks later on a play similar to this.
It's also crazy she's most likely in her sixties now. I'm getting close myself. I was a sophomore in High School when this game was played. My how time flies! GBR!!!
I got back from Korea that spring. Was assigned to FT Lewis. I was going to Ranger School this weekend. Watched in a bar in Atlanta. Crazy how time flies. GBR ☠️☠️☠️☠️
Had he not got into trouble, I believe Lawrence Phillips would have broken Rozier's rushing record for a season. He was well on his was prior to his suspension.
that would mean he didn't do steroids so probably isn't as good.
If Ahman Green had come back for his senior year, he would of passed Rozier's career rushing yards.
RB U. Nebraska. MIKE Rozier, Ahman Green, Lawrence Phillips, Roger Craig, Tom Rathman. The list goes on.
@@bishopman2308And maybe another National championship .
If Turner Gill return for his senior would been hell of a season for Nebraska in 1984.
I believe he did. He lost Rozier Fryar Steinkeuler and most of the starters. Upset at Syracuse in 1984 who they beat 63 7 that season
I was wrong 1983 was Turner Gils last season at Nebraska
He did play his Sr. season. 1983 was his Senior season. He played Freshman football his first year and didn’t redshirt.
Huh?
83's offense with 84's defense would have really been something.
It was a pity that the Heisman Trophy could not have been shared with the Nebraska offensive line in 1983.
Barry Switzer disliked this video......
Just noticed,at the 2:23 something mark,..they re-show N.U. 's Mark Shaleen (# 25 ) scoring (? ) a T.D. . Wet turf. he goes down at the one ,then slides on over the goal line and official is right there and signals TOUCHDOWN!!!! Today ,thank goodness, that would have been overuled.
OU decided to not play in a bowl game this year, they were playing Hawaii in Honolulu. they would use this trip for the fans to attend and not have to worry about a bowl game. OU beat Hawaii and ended 8-4 for the season. Then would start a run in the 80's.
Spencer tillmam did go on to an announcers job after his nfl playing career
Bring me Nebraska back to the big 12
Amen to that!
@@cecilbatt11 Yeah so we can play UCF And Cincinnati! Dumbass.
Anybody who says they want to be back in the Big 12 needs to be knocked on their ass.
@@stephen1170 You've been eating too much corn, buddy. No one cares about Nebraska anymore. If Nebraska can't recruit Texas they are pretty much Ohio State, Penn State and Michigan's bitch in the Big 10. Hell, they can't even beat Purdue and Indiana at this point so I don't know who you are calling dumbass. Nebraska would be better off in the same conference as schools like Okie State and Baylor.
@@cecilbatt11 Blame me for you being a retard what ever gets you through the night. What presence does the big 12 have in Texas anymore retard? Houston? Texas Tech? TCU? Yeah those are powers year in and year out. Before insulting others 💩 for 🧠 you may want to look in a mirror retard.
1:31:04 Rozier breaks off a long run.
1:28:04 that is an incredible play....... 2:15:39 easily cost a tie game.
By dad is the guy with the mustache waving the Nebraska flag between 1:32:00 and 1:33:00. Go Big Red!
And 1:43:13 😂
Games mattered like this. THEE BEST RIVALRY EVER!! Jmo
Who the heck is responsible for not inventing HDTV sooner? I want to know!
This was the Greatest team (definitely on offense) to never win a NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP.
Don't take this wrong, but you are out of your mind. They played 3 ranked teams going 2-1.
1st game Neb 44, #4 PSU 6. PSU was way over ranked. Finished unranked at 8-4-1
6th game Neb 14, OkSt 10. OkST finished unranked at 8-4.
Last game beat by #5 Miami.
They beat nobody of consequence all season.
@@robjohnson8861 .... I don't take it wrong at all as your entitled to your opinion as am I.... I did point out as my disclaimer greatest team on offense so I don't think that's far fetched to say. BYU the following year played in a pissy conference, had an even pissier schedule and won the NC. There's no denying that this team was loaded on offense but their defense was suspect all year and playing Miami in the Orange Bowl who only lost to Florida that year they still had a chance to win the title.
@@vonshabrown6147 You bring Lovell Edwards playing 6-4 Michigan for the NC to the table as support? You are out of your mind. Neb beat a bunch of nobodies, but you can't pin a best ever offense award on them for that.
Let's take a look.
Killed PSU, PSU finished with 4 losses, 1 tie and unranked.
Killed Wyoming, finished with 5 losses and unranked
Killed Minn, finished with 10 losses and unranked.
Killed UCLA, finished with 4 losses, 1 tie ranked #17
Killed Syracuse, finished with 5 losses unranked.
Beat OkSt by 4, finished with 4 losses ranked #18
Killed MO, finished with 5 losses unranked.
Killed CO, finished with 7 losses unranked.
Killed KSU, finished with 8 losses unranked.
Killed ISU, finished with 7 losses unranked.
Killed KS, finished with 6 losses, 1 tie unranked.
Beat OK by 7, finished with 4 losses UNRANKED.
Lost to Miami, finished #1.
Everybody they beat had 4 losses, 3 teams had 5 losses, 1 team 6 losses, 2 teams 7 losses, 1 team with 8 losses and 1 team 10 losses. This team played one of the easiest schedules ever!!! And like the first game where Miami lost to FL by 25, they took Neb lightly or came in with that cocky attitude that cost them at least 2 NCs
@@robjohnson8861 ... Opinions are subjective you have yours and I have mine lol 😆... You're taking the time to post what I've known and heard said since that season and you again have a right to YOUR opinion. Most professional pundits have said something similar to what I've said regarding this team and this is not the first time a team played a quote and unquote suspect schedule. I could take a shot at anyone not playing an SEC schedule and make the argument you're taking the time to make on my statement (which I don't retract). I guess if I said that 1995 Huskers team was one of the greatest ever you'd nitpick that as well ???
@@vonshabrown6147 That was a great team, however, Steve Spurrier finished with a 6-5 bowl record at FL. Think about it. Great SEC teams but finish 6-5 in your last out of conference game. Even so, the margin of the loss spoke to how good Neb was on that night.
This is when college football was smash mouth football.
Right??? Them boys was hitting. No half step. Smashmouth. Missing in today's game.
I still remember being 8 years old watching Neil Harris tip the ball away from Busta Rhymes, I mean Buster Rhymes 😂
This Nebraska team wanted TDs, not FGs
And went for two to win and not tie.
Just imagine if Marcus Dupree and Barry Switzer would've got along, it would have been a much different situation on both parties
I was on the 50 yard line
LUCKY!!
I bet there was electricity in the air!
@texasrockshillcountry6574 Yes ,very electric ,they were hitting so hard sounded like bones were breaking.
I noticed it was insane hitting. Some how I don't think it is this physical. These teams were so closely matched. OU had more than a few go on to the NFL
I can't/wont a channel that has more commercials than the original TV broadcast
Why was it Miami always played on their home field in bowl games????
There's always been an NCAA bias towards warm weather sites for bowl games (more fannies in the seats, vacationers' $$$ for bowl towns, etc. And if you look at the history of bowl invitations, the bowls often invite the local program - with a ready-made home crowd waiting to fill the seats).
USC Trojan fans just unanimously agreed with you. I just heard a big chorus of Trojans say " yeah , I know right? "
Turner Gill played for Montreal . Not too sure how many seasons.
2 seasons. Had to retire because of head injuries. Played several years of baseball after that.
Gill became a coach in the 90's. He was head coach at Buffalo for awhile. I remember his name was being mentioned alot to replace Osbourne when he retired.
@@bishopman2308 yes
Nebraska was better than Miami, but didn’t get it done
Miami virtually played a home game. They played in the Orange Bowl, their regular home field. They had the home field edge.
Watching this years later you can see how Miami was more than able to bear this ‘vaunted’ Husker team. The 1971 Huskers are better. In particular Tagge is a complete quarterback whereas Gill is not. Bradley looks a better passer than Gill. Thank you for posting.
Loved this era of real football not for the squeemish Players and commentators didnt get their panties in a wad cuz of high hits
2:22:03 eagle by the Twin Towers in an Express Mail commercial
As a disturbing Irish fan. !!! Nebraska vs sooner is just see. Those teams were scary all three that decade. Buskers 80s teams were so talented ,they could not get how good they were. Sooner had a lull in mid 80s . I e or two years.
Huskers were the team with most wins in the 1980’s
Sooners won the Big 8 in '84, '85 (NC), '86, and '87 (finished no. 3). 4 orange Bowl appearances (2 wins, 2 losses). The one big killer in that stretch was 3 losses to Miami. I wouldn't call 3 or 4 Top 5 finishes much of a lull.
@@jimegan6848 i agree my lull is 81. 82? 83? I am not badmouthing sooners. So they had ? I the bone.. dupree. I k ow that3 or4 guys played nfl. I just am fat dru k an stupid.
The lull was from '81 to '83.
This may have been the first time Nebraska was behind that season..
They steamrolled over everyone else. Remember, they beat then #2 Penn State at the beginning of this season 44-6! The Huskers were GREAT that year, but you can throw away the records when these two Power Houses squared off against each other! They HATED each other! Made for a great rivalry! lol
Just about all of the players mentioned here you seen paying FREQUENTLY on Sundays!
They were behind early in a few games actually. I think against KSU they accidentally took a safety on the kickoff.
The commentators said that Huskers were behind in the Missouri game.
Grrr. Oz-bern. We were preseason #1!
OMG. OU had a DB named Jim Rockford! Yes!
Wonder if he had a gold Firebird?
Dave Miller Jim Rockford played at Bishop Griffin High School in Springfield, Illinois. I lived in the area at that time, and watched him play often. Rockford was an outstanding quarterback, defensive back and returned punts and kicks. The local joke was he could probably have played in the band at halftime if they needed him.
This BEYOND cool!
Best names! I'm a Nebraska fan but wow! Jim Rockford, Buster Rhymes, Elvis Peacock! Barry got kids with real flair! Hat tip!
Don’t forget Julius Caesar (JC) Watts.
Spencer Tillman, @1:28:00!!!!
I grew up knowing one thing: MR was my Nebraska hero. Rozier i believed in him
Nebraska should have beaten Miami canes got lucky
Too bad for Nebraska this was their last win of season
NU #1
Jim rockford same as the tv character lol
wow busta rhymes playing fb
lmao
He took his name from Buster Rhymes.
QB's warming up before game by throwing the ball haha never happened during the game.
The fake, i dont remember!
This is how it should be. A flag on a penalty never said the number. But 2021 the number is said. Pros fine, college no. Amateur omit the name and number.
Getting paid millions in NIL money, so throw out amateur. They're minor league of the NFL. High school is the new top amateur level.
Should have been 20-14, Oklahoma at halftime.
Shoulda coulda woulda....LOFL.
Could never stand Barry Switzer....
The days when Oklahoma had no chance against Nebraska. In the 1970s it was the opposite result.
Actually, OU dominated the 70s; N.U., the 90s. In the 80s, they were pretty even throughout the decade (Tom Osborne was almost fired in the 80s, because of the troubles they had beating Barry Switzer's teams in the 80s).
The 80s games were the best (even if it didn't work out for N.U. as often)...except for the "Game of the Century" in 1971 :-)
Don R. Mueller, Ph. D: That's quite an overstatement. In the 1950's Nebraska perhaps had no chance against OU for the most part, then Nebraska started to get the edge in the 1960's. In most of the 1970's and 1980's it was pretty competitive but OU had the edge. Nebraska won 3 straight here between losing 8/9 then 4 straight. In the 1990's you could say OU didn't have a chance against them and in the last two decades most of the time if they played Nebraska wouldn't stand a chance against OU, certainly not now until further notice.
@@dadestarmysteries255 Sounds like you are the Rip Van Winkle of OU/Nebraska football. You must have fallen asleep during this discussion: 1981-83
Back when nebraska wasn't crappy.
