Davison's catch rescued Big Red from a colossal upset vs. Missouri, and helped lead to a national championship that season. (Photo: Lincoln Journal Star) http://bit.ly/Hqi94S

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

Larry Baumann

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.

I have been waiting 30+ years for this, All Red looks Bad Ass!!! GBR!!

Thomas Wright

“ GO BIG RED “ 🏈 ❗️

Steve Sorensen

Because they look awesome!

Kit Goodwin

We are Big Red!

Christopher Benson

Change is good.

James Schneider

Red baby Red!

Bob Crisler

I don't like it, but as long as we're going to play around with nonsense alternate uniforms, the boys might as well learn wi win in them.

PJ SAid

Why the Hell Not? God Bless everyone. Lets enjoy the game, get our minds off what is happening in the world. GBR

Kevin Ruppert

Because we as fans should let the team wear whatever makes them excited and quit bringing up times 30 plus years ago like the uniforms had anything to do with how the games turned out.

Joe Putjenter

If that's what the kids wanted, I'm cool with it. I don't like it myself

The Redcoats were intimidating as is and didn't change to all Red on skirmish day.

Joe Nigro

Traditional is much more intimidating. One color uniforms make players look smaller (except for all white.)

Joe Hegarty

We love the Red & White

Roy Bishop

Alternates only for night games.

Roger Moellendorf

NU always loses when they wear all red or all black.

huskerdenton@yahoo.com

Why?

Danny Brown

It's too much, we look like popsicles

McV0id

Matching colors no bueno

Ron Graf

Too many losses wearing all red

Robert Lloyd

Bad choice and ugly. For those old enough to remember, we got Irvin Fryar out of New Jersey because he looked better in our uniforms than the ugly Penn State uniforms. Why change for the sake of change when you have the better all ready in place. Sounds like the management of Cracker Barrel.

John Sheeley

Just not a fan. Makes it look like Indiana

Ron Petersen

Looks like pajamas.

Is the 34½-point spread against Akron about right?

Because the poll was still open on the Monday after the game... And I could not see the percentages without voting.

Brad Bredenkamp

They have the talent, they need to take the step of winning the games they should win in the manner they should win them. Don’t play down to the level of the opponent.

PJ SAid

It better be...defense front should be fixed and Akron Defense should allow for deeper passes. At HOME at NIGHT!!! #GBR

Patrick O'Brien

We haven't seen enough of what this team can really do to give that kind of spread.

William Osler

They are not a good team yet. Much work to do.

Alan Portsche

To many issues to fix

VAHuskerFan

There is NOWAY they will cover, there just not that good, atleast at this point.

David Weaver

Not convinced yet

Melvyn Halfon

I do not believe some of the glaring problems with the run defense have not been fixed, and Akron will exploit them.

Danny Brown

The D-line against Cincy wasn't overly impressive, our run game was relatively unproductive, and we had some lucky breaks (even if good play contributed). The next two weeks will be important for closing gaps; I don't think we'll wallop Akron quite by 30+ points. I'm guessing we end up 17

Ed Starke

It's hard to beat any team by that big of a margin.

McV0id

Defense needs more time to cook

George mcdaniel

Around 21 points
