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!

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.

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

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

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!

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

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!!!

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

Is it reasonable to consider Nebraska a potential playoff team in 2025?

With their schedule, they might be able to make it this year.

They are as much a potential playoff team as Arizona State and Indiana were last year. There is no harm is fans dreaming big. A team with a recent history like Nebraska is going to put it together this year. Why not the Huskers?

Just wishful thinking but I believe the talent is there. We will need a few breaks but it is possible.

They have a schedule that gets to the year 3 Matt Rhule 10 wins. If they can hang with Penn St. then they could be in the conversation as a 10-2, 11-1 team.

So tired of delusional preseason talk. How about a winning conference record and a bowl win.

They are a 6-6 football team until proven otherwise.

NU has not been able to recruit top notch players. The media has led fans to believe that 3 star players can be molded into 4 and 5 stars. That dog don’t hunt?

We simply don't have the level of talent needed to reach the playoff. Achieving more wins that last year is a more realistic goal.

Anything can happen, but up until now, Rhule hasn't shown that he can get the job done. I hope I'm wrong, but I just can't by the hype. Show me on the field.

They haven’t done anything on the field to warrant that expectation. But there is nothing wrong with the team setting it as a goal and striving to reach that goal.

Immanuel Kant would say no, but he had a very strict definition of reason. I can only imagine him pooh-poohing the Huskers because Rhule is compulsed to pass the ball on clear running downs. Afraid to actually hand the ball to the fullback on 3rd and 1. And instead is in the shotgun. NO THEY KANT!

Thry’ll be better this year, but I think 9-3 or 8-4 are likely which keeps them out of contention this year. My hope is that by year 4 under Rhule will finally get them ibto the playoff picture

They need to prove they belong. Still to ,many players on the squad that played on bad teams and don't know how to win yet.
