If they would have had replay, the pass to McCloskey would have been ruled no catch. No first down, no ball on the 5.

They were both robbery on the refs part but the receiver for Penn state was no where near catching that pass inbound. It was clearly out of bounds and really showed the referees favoritism toward Penn

This was a 4th & 1 play. If they make the right call Tom got his first NT. Nope..... this one burns worse.

Huskers still could have won 94 Orange Bowl. Bad call was early in the game. 82 PSU was right at the end.

Just piggybacking on this reply... there should be a 3rd choice: the Texas game in the Suh era when the refs put 1” back on the clock so Texas could kick the winning field goal.

6 of one, half dozen of the other... BOTH calls were HORRIBLE. Easy to make the correct call....IF you're paying attention to your responsibilities.

Nat Championship on the line. In addition there was a phantom PI call in the last minutes that gave them the field position to make their last field goal.

I remember watching this game,and being devastated watching Florida state celebrate at the end of the game, the better team certainly did not win that game.

The 94 Orange Bowl because there was more than one that literally lost the game for us and it was for the National Championship.

It wasn't just 1 call. The FSU TD that was a fumble; the Nebraska fumble that was a TD; the phantom penalty on Dixon's punt return TD; almost every penalty after the Huskers' last FG. It felt fixed.

I was going to go with Will Shields, but looking at the summary above 17 ys vs 14, 4SB appearances, 240 games vs 231. However, Will's 12 pro bowls almost swayed me. I wish tie was an option.

Tingelhoff because the game was not so specialized in his tenure....let's not forget big Bob Brown either when comparing best Husker lineman in the NFL!!

I read the stats accompanying this poll. If you compare them both are GREAT... but Mick's numbers are better.

Tingelhoff. There was nobody tougher at Lexington, the U of Nebraska, or the Minnesota Vikings. He pays the price today but he was a gentle and unmatched WARRIOR.

Cook is an outstanding coach and I wouldn't trade him for anyone, but Pettit built the program into one of national prominence.

Coach Pettit Deserves credit for putting Nebraska to the top, but Coach Cook has not only won the games, 4 National Championships, but has kept Nebraska up as other schools have developed.
