I hate to even mention this game because it crushed me, but the 1994 Orange Bowl against FSU was an amazing game.
The Corey Dixon Punt Return for TD that was nullified
The William Floyd TD that wasn't
I was emotionally spent after that game.

Younger Husker fans should watch that game to understand that Tom should have had six Nat. Championships. This one, where Bowden "petitiioned" to get a NC, by hook or by crook. Same thing for the game I'd nominate: NU @ Penn State 1982. NU was robbed of, what should have been, Tom's 1st NC, according to the final outcome of the rest of their season.

Play
Unbelievable Football Referee Call - NOT a...

http://www.HuskerSpot.com Nebraska Cornhuskers vs Penn State Nittany Lions in 1982. This play was amazingly ruled a catch. The referees must still be hungover from last night's party because this guy's feet were definitely out of bounds when he caught the football. The Huskers ended up going 12-1 in the 1982 season. The three point loss to Penn St. was their only loss of the season. The University of Nebraska football team also repeated as Big Eight champs. http://www.HuskerAuctions.com

As far as "top" games PSU 82 and the OB 94 vs FSU will be further down the list. Thanks for the input.

i remember that game, I wasn't alive but my dad has it on VHS. horrible call. By the way, did you know that the lead referee for that game had a son on the PSU team?
I agree Dr. Tom should have had NCs in 1982, 1983, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1997. (if we wouldn't have fumbled the game away against Texas i think we would have won it in 1999 as well.)

I know it's really really recent but the largest comeback in school history. vs. Ohio State this past year has to be one of those games.

The 2008 Colorado game

- Helu, rushes for 160 yds and leaps over a DB
- Suh, interception return for a TD while stepping on the QB's chest

I think that the 1988 OU-Nebraska game, as well as the 2007 NU-Missouri games should make this list.
Both very important games in the evolution of the program.
Also the Nebraska - Alabama game from the Orange Bowl in 1971.
Oklahoma-Nebraska in 1965 was another huge game.
