[Husker] 84 orange bowl on ESPN Classic

[David Strong]

After 26 years and countless replays of this game, I had never watched it since that night.  But I enjoyed watching that '77 game so much that I recorded this one and sat down to watch it after all these years.  Huskers received the kick off.  Rozier ripping huge yardage.  Fumbled snap, fullback into the line, and missed pass (excellent coverage by Miami) stalls the drive at the Miami 37.  FG blocked, still 0-0.  Miami possession, Kosar 25 yards or so to Shakespeare (no pressure on the QB at all).  Miami HB straight ahead for 12.  Koaar to Shakespeare again for 25 or so to the Neb 1.  (Kosar all day, no one near him) Neb stuffs two plays at the goal line.  Kosar rolls right throwing to receiver in the end zone, Husker defender #2 steps in front for the easy, easy interception with nothing between him and the other goal line.  Ball goes right though his arms, skimming his chest as it goes through, and lands right in the gut of the Miami receiver.  

I hit "Stop", deleted the recording, turned the TV off.  I will never try to watch that game again.  Bad decision on my part to try this time.  Not ever going there again.
