The day Nebraska Football died. Yeah they still made it to the National Championship, but that was thanks to both #2 Florida and #3 Texas losing. Nebraska was dead when they got to Pasadena, and Miami had the game won before halftime.
@@ruston10 Solich cheated on his wife with a team employee. The girl was a student. Not a good look. Most people don't know this. It's true. Trust me. Why else is he not working to this day?
I LOVED Eric Crouch so much when I was growing up. He was my favorite player. I still come back to this game and rewatch it. I couldn’t believe how bad this ass kicking was 😂 Game that killed the program and it’s never recovered
Ngl as a CU alumni. I look at videos of Folsom like this and it makes me dream of CU glory soon. Weve had a couple good years in my 15 years of being associated with the university, but nothing like this.
Definitely the beginning of the end for Nebraska but if it wasn't for the superb play of Crouch the Nebraska decline would have been noticed probably up to two years earlier. Crouch masked alot of piling up Nebraska woes the biggest of which was Osborne's retirement.
I told Craig Ochs when he was an assistant at my alma mater, the University of Montana, that THIS GAME was the most complete team victory I had ever witnessed. UN-Lincoln, my paternal grandparents' alma mater, has never recovered.
@@LVM5584this 👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽 I think the BCS held the Ducks loss to unranked Stanford + it was a one off loss for Nebraska and well they were badly mistaken Feels like the 2003 Oklahoma Sooners
Cornhusker fan here. 100 percent the death of the program. Fans still complain about :01 against Texass (09 Big 12 title) but this one was the killing blow. CU is three for three against N since 18 also and unless Raiola is as advertised my bet is next month you can make it 4
Josh Davis out of Loveland was charged with a felony for stealing a Sony PlayStation but he wasn’t punished since he going to Nebraska to play football.
Stealing a play station is not a felony. It's a dismissed case with a fine or a misdemeanor at worst. Playing for Nebraska means nothing to the courts. Just money 💰
I will never forget when Eric Crouch caught that TD pass on a play called Flash 41 that snapped OU's 16 or 17 game winning streak, and cemented his status as the front-runner for the Heisman, which of course he won.
Nebraska fired Solich AND left the Big 12...They went way down and basically were replaced as a power by teams like Alabama who came back from the dead
crazy Nebraska got beat this bad in this game, Colorado beats Texas the next week for the big 12 championship, and Nebraska still gets selected for the national championship, only to get smoked by Miami. "but the BCS was better" people are saying lol! crazy to think if CU avoids that loss to fresno state in the first game of the season they make the natty!
The Nebraska defense is so awful in this game. I don't know what they typically ran in 2001, but they look completely lost in Cover 1 and in their zone looks. Danielson is right, Colorado didn't re-invent the run game. Looks like counter and a middle / wide zone play and NU is just completely lost.
@@edwardrichardson9543 yeah, Barnett wasn’t a hall of famer by any means but my opinion on Solich is that he lived off Osbornes recruits until he couldn’t. The last 20 ish years has a lot of people viewing him through rose colored glasses.

You’re right about it should have been Oregon v Miami. Didn’t beat OSU by enough to jump Nebraska. Miami was a different beast but for damn sure Oregon would have given them a better game. Oregon smoked this CU team in Tempe.
The game that single handedly killed Nebraska football for 2+ decades and counting…
And good riddance!
Somehow the same thing happened to CU lol
@@JigsawdotkomLOL not against Nebraska

Wrong. They were 10+ wins under Bo. That fucked them. That being said Colorado has been irrelevant for years

Yes, the national championship game was actually over at the end of the first quarter.
Nebraska football died the day they fired Frank Solich. Yeah he went 7-7 in 2002, but he kept the Cornhuskers relevant.
@@ruston10I think that was really stupid to fire Solich what do you think?
@@ruston10 He went 7-7 in 2002, and then went 9-3 in 2003. It was after the 2003 season that he was fired.

I skipped work to watch this that day.
The fact that Nebraska was ranked 1 over Miami for most of 2001 is a fuckin joke.
Nebraska has yet to recover from this.

Great job upscaling, smoothing oh whatever you did to the video. Look great. Aside for the aspect ratio and slight blurriness it looks pretty modern.

@@LVM5584 Boston College, without William Green, had Miami beaten. Unfortunately, the bad guys get all the breaks in college football.
NU should never have left the BIG 12. They have regressed going on almost twenty years now.
This neither school should’ve left the big xii
A whooping for the ages
Oregon should have been in the Natty that year. Might not have beaten Miami, but it would have been a better game.
Come back to the Big-12 Huskers we miss you ☹️
Shoulda been oregon vs miami
Would've been better than Huskers/ Canes. But let's be real, 01 Miami would've still packed and smoked Oregon.
@@CaptainTunnelOregon deserved the opportunity at the spotlight
@@chris1pdxIMO the BCS was looking more at brand names. If Tennessee or Texas won their conference championship they’d still get the nod over Oregon.
Wouldn't have mattered in the least.

Only watched the first couple drivers. That said, CU QB throws a pretty ball.

Purify is a pretty bad*ass last name for a running back.
It's been 23 years since the Cornhuskers of Nebraska lost to the Buffaloes of Colorado. The Blackshirts defense were fallen apart.
buffs whipped them 36-14 last season and will whip them again this weekend
10:30 FUMBLE!!!!!!!!!, also Daniel Graham would join the Patriots dynasty and win 2 Super Bowls
The last time CU was relevant at all tv looked like this
Same with Nebraska 👍🏽
😆Yup
This and the following week against Texas
Pay back 2024 we're back
Care to try again. STILL not back.....and won't be. Rhule will be fired in 2-3 years. 5-4 and I bet terrible USC beats them next week too.
Nebraska football has never recovered from this 😐
This 👆🏽👆🏽👆🏽
The game that made playoffs inevitable.
Am I the only one who notices the commentator repeating words like OCD?
Colorado made Nebraska throw the ball. I don't see how crouch won the Heisman.
Gary Barnett was a far better coach than Solich.
It ended badly for Barnett but I will say he did get to the Big XII Championship 4 in 5 years between 2001 and 2005
@@edwardrichardson9543 yeah, Barnett wasn’t a hall of famer by any means but my opinion on Solich is that he lived off Osbornes recruits until he couldn’t. The last 20 ish years has a lot of people viewing him through rose colored glasses.
