The game meant more as the Huskers were in a National Title hunt. And it was Missouri!

Seriously?? This one saved a Natl Championship. The other just saved an embarrassing loss to a mediocre team.

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'.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!

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

National championship. Many other great plays have been forgotten cause they didn't lead to a NC

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!

I do not care HOW the punting is done. Only that it leads to WINS.

If something is broken, what does it hurt to try something different. Insanity- Doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

I like this style of punting. With the roll-out, it keeps the defense honest by keeping them in position in case of runs/throws by the punter.

Anything less than a drop kick just isn't trying. Additionally, NU had a punter who averaged 44 yards a kick and he had to transfer for a player to be named later. Maybe get the rugby guy in and set in place before upending what would have been a solid punting game.

Too much hassle (200 miles away) for an unknown event.

The event is a non-starter compared to the structure of actual plays and the support of young men working to find their place on the team.

If I want to see a carnival or a faire I'll go see one. This change shows fear of being a competitor on the part of Rhule and NU Athletics. It's embarrassing.

Losing the best recruiting tool of the spring and losing the money it would bring in is not smart in my opinion.

It's not a game. This was our tradition. Not a good decision on Rhule's part.
