Kept alive a National Championship run and was on the road.

Scott Ferguson

The game meant more as the Huskers were in a National Title hunt. And it was Missouri!

Troy Hemberger

Seriously?? This one saved a Natl Championship. The other just saved an embarrassing loss to a mediocre team.

Todd Meedel

More Dramatic

Kevin Kuszak

Nat'l championship year. We know how that year finished... This years result is still unknown. Too early for this poll... jumping the gun a little to call it 'best ever'.

Tom Caniglia

Because it saved a National Championship run in TO's last year. A great team needed a little luck (Once) as opposed to average team needing it most of the time just to win.

Christopher L Arnold

Davison's catch was a freak thing - never seen anything like it. Westerkamp's catch was exactly what you expect/hope for from a hail Mary.

Robert Phillips

En route to the National Title.

Matt Bonham

As a member of the Cornhusker Marching Band, I was there. Packed into the opposite corner and couldn't see what happened. We all thought it was over but it saved our shot at the Championship Game.

Wade Williams

For now at least, it will be Davison's because it saved a Natl Championship. We will have to see how the rest of this season pans out as to whether or not this catch may have saved the season.

Douglas Norman

I was at the game in Columbia...cold night, end zone bleacher nosebleed seats. Having to listen to Mizzou fans berate me and gloat about their "win" before that drive/play, WAS SWEET!

Mark Plotner

With out that catch, there is no 5th National Championship

Jill Odle

Because it saved a national title season

Jeff Hively

game ment more

saved a national championship season

M&R- Food Critics

Huskers were titans in those years- the eyes of the world were watching. Kept hope alive for a championship, not just a bowl game berth

Andrew Kleczek

I was sitting around the 20 yard line and saw it happen!

Kevin Heidtbrink

National championship. Many other great plays have been forgotten cause they didn't lead to a NC

Marty Norris Davis

It took us to a championship...

Jason Nider

National Championship, Why else?

Scott Ecklund

RKIII/Westerkamp was just as spectacular but Davisons getts the edge because it actually saved the day for a NC! If we win out this year then I'll call them even!

Kevin Keller

that kept us in the national title hunt not just a win against northwestern.

Jordan's game-winning catch gave Big Red a monumental lift for the program at a pivotal point in its history. (Photo: Lincoln Journal Star) http://bit.ly/Hqi94S

It get tried a lot but does not work very often, in this case it did!

Douglas Beckman

It happened in Memorial Stadium, although Davison's catch help preserve an undefeated National Championship season, Both were Great.

Given the Huskers’ difficult 2026 football schedule, is it realistic to think 8 wins are possible?

If the lines are improved and up to the task, I think they lose to Oregon, Indiana and OSU, maybe split Illinois/Iowa and win the other 7.

Wade Williams

Looking at the schedule, 5-0 on the front end is a definite possibility. Going 3-4 on the backend is doable. Having said that, there's still no consistency with this team, making 5-7 just as much of a possibility.

Double D

8 wins.. Lol. We'll be lucky to get half of that. Do you know who our coach is?

Scott Ferguson

Schedule is not favorable at all.

Wade Williams

The schedule actually is favorable if you look at not just who we play, but when we play them. Looking at the non con, we'll definitely come out of the gate 3-0, then MSU & MD. We can win those. That would be 5-0. 3-4 on the back end is doable, even if you pencil in IU, OR, & OSU as definite L's.

Kelly Smith

The progress compared to the other BIG 10 teams is minimal.

Christopher O'Brien

6 wins

Robert Lloyd

Never would believe this, but we could come away with only 2-4 wins. I do love the new QB, the new DC coordinator and new OL coach. But no proven RBs, limited personnel in the DL,, Rhule has never learned the run first offense, and we have TOO MANY coaches. A hat on backwards isn't going to help.

Alexanderthegreatandterrible

We saw what we saw last season and that means little hope we can win 5-6 in 2026. Too many new things to know what is going to happen but easy to assume 8 wins is out of the question.

AK-460Mag Nurse

I hate to be this negative but I think we'll be lucky to make a bowl game 😔 Between not being able to beat a ranked opponent, the coaching carousel, no proven QB or RB and just sucking the last 25 years I'm starting to lose hope and lose faith in this staff. GBR 😭

Edward Payne

I'm hopeful, but six wins seems most likely until the the team proves itself with a new QB and rebuilt lines.

Andy Redick

Not possible. Lost our best player to the NFL draft. New OL coach and DC. Major rebuild. Scary to think this is year 4 and NU is talking about a major rebuild. Rhule sells the Kool Aid hard in the off season. GBR!!!

Nebraska Right to Life

QB turnover machine. No D tackles. No RBs. Good Luck. 6-6 is the absolute ceiling. 5-7 is what it will be.
