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

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.

Feature back is important to have but DEPTH is also CRITICAL. If don't have a feature back then either then depth chart is flooded with talent. But in the Big Ten you better have a GREAT 2nd and 3rd string to make it through the season. With EJ it helped he was so quick he didn't take huge hits

Terry Barker

Nebraska was always most stable when we had a feature back that can actually "carry" the team with his legs.

Ron Joseph

Nebraska in the past was successful with one top back. We've fallen on hard times because we haven't developed or recruited a great back. But the others need to be developed so we have a pipeline of backs like we use to have.

Every good team, including the NFL, will rotate backs on a regular basis. This last year Nebraska should have used a 2nd running back more often - NEB is lucked out EJ stayed healthy.
