I was there and it looked better in person, with the intense wind. He just threw his hand up there and somehow caught it without really looking!

JT Skarda

The ball was way high, and behind him a bit. Plus he was in traffic, which makes it pretty hairy.. And to top it off, he scored. Phenomenal.

Watch for yourself

Phil Wojtalewicz

There's been none better in Husker history (IMHO).

Paul Billesbach

He ran a great route, jumped and had full extension just to reach the ball, caught and secured the ball and then accelerated into the endzone untouched. A very remarkable catch, with 4 defenders cover

Tay Thomsen

Because, he scored onthe play as well.

Janet Eckard

Lets see, the leap higher than I am tall, the fingertip grab out of the air, the stride thru the whole play, it doesn't get any better!

John Dixson

it was a awesome catch in the open when he knew he was surrounded by defenders

There's been a few others that rival this one. Anybody remember Johnny Mitchell's one-handed catch?

Cuz this is America!

It was awesome, but... not the very best.

Rich Crotty

The Catch in 1997 by Matt Davidson will rank as the #1 all time Husker Catch.. it won the 5th National Championship!

Harley Morrissey

Good catch but not the great even this Saturday saw several that were better.

Rick Redfield

Remember Scott Frost to Shevin Wiggins to Matt Davison?

Bob Crockford

As great as it was, others have also made great catches. Just want to say, though, when it was caught, I was, totally, impressed and went nuts!! :) I do believe, it was the greatest by a Husker!!!

Larry Schucht

Davison's catch was better and meant more at the time. That's #1.

OU is susceptible to the long passing game. NU pulls out some stops on offense. D keeps it close. OU by 3.

James Key

Im breaking out my 30yr old Number 7 jersey. Huskers by 7

Matt Seiler

Spencer is a guy who’s easily rattled (get it?) and figures to throw a few picks if pressured. I still think we lose but Huskers can move the ball through the air and force a few TOs to keep this game within 14. Small chance they even pull out the W

Mark Wane

I watched the Tulane game and I think Buffalo is a good team that the D shutdown. Plus I went to school in the 90’s and want us so badly to step up on National tv. We are due!! Skers

Mick Hanson

I drink all the Kool-aid, why not?

Bob Berg

Sooner's lose one game mid-season. Why not this one. Hopefully no one showed the Sooner team what Frost and company did to them in '96 and '97. We should play well for 3 quarters then their top guys may take over.

It's likely at some point in the game we'll be down a score or two. Does this team have the mental toughness to fight and mount a comeback or will they fold? I just don't think the team has that kind of confidence in themselves yet.

Ryan Moss

I can’t believe Nebraska fans have fallen so far that they discuss if they can’t beat the spread and not if they can beat OU.

Terry Busch

they have talent everywhere. We have a tiny bit of talent. It's a talent landslide.

Sporty361

No way! IL lost big to an unrated Virginia team. Sooners will do whatever they want to do regarding score. Tired of us ‘rebuilding’ when we can’t beat teams that out recruit us every year. Don’t those teams have to rebuild? Simply put we are either terrible recruiters or terrible developers.

Larry Smith

Big REd is playing well below the Sooner's level. I just hope they can keep it at the 21 points and not get buried in a ten td avalanche.

Steve Walker

They are still playing pretty bad. Offensive line is still not blowing anyone off the ball. Defense is still not getting a pass rush. Secondary is not as good as advertised. Hopefully there will be improvement.

USMC Sully

we have been down this road too many times to think otherwise

Wade Williams

We are not there yet. We put too much pressure on an improving defense. If NU could some how score 40 they might have a chance at the end of the game but....I'll call it 48-27 OU.

Matt Seiler

I believe that means they beat the spread

Bryan Petersen

Offensive line had yet to show we can run the ball between the tackles

Lots of teams are doing the exact same thing. Make everyone else accountable before just punishing the Huskers.

Randy Weitzenkamp

It's just a distraction, but it is the last thing we need right now. The timing of this news is extremely suspicious. Focus on taking care of business on the field and this will be ancient history in a month .

Frost is doing everything he can to try to get this program going again. That even means blatantly cheating and trying to cover up his cheating. This isn’t an oopsie, it’s desperation. Same with trying to run away from the OU game. He knows he’s in trouble and he just cost himself his buyout.
