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

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.

We have talent in the room. They will have the same learning curve that Emmett had. He was an average back at the beginning of last season and look how he blossomed. That said, if a solid back is available, take him of course

Bill Scheef

Nebraska is a 3rd Tier team in the BIG 10 and an after thought nationally and our expectations for recruiting should reflect that. With the powers in the BIG 10 nationally Nebraska's "good old days..." are just. Swept into the dust bin of what once was...Sorry, but...it's the truth as I see it.

Adveresity often brings out the best in a team.

AK-460Mag Nurse

We have yet to lose two in a row this season, and I think I formation with TJ and EJ has the potential to be devastating. GBR 🤘

Brad Bredenkamp

They won’t come out flat like they did last year. It will be a team win with a defensive or special teams score.

James Key

yes if EJ has plus 100 and TJ has 50 Run and 166 Pass. Then yes. All bets off if over 2 TO.

Ron Joseph

Time for the O to show their potential in support TJ. Once he gets comfortable with the game, he will add a dimension to the game we haven't had- dual threat QB.

Not enough players with the "it factor".

VAHuskerFan

Unfortunately we still have a terrible O-line and now Freshman QB a Defense that can’t stop anyone, I don’t have much hope for the season ending on a positive note. Lose by 17
