- #4 Huskies roll into Lincoln and start slow but finish strong and beat the #9 Cornhuskers in a huge 36-21 win. Jay Barry's 4th quarter 81-yard TD run is the play that will be forever remembered in Husky lore, but Hobert to McKay's 4th down conversion (at the 7:15 mark) was the single-most important play of the season IMO. September 21, 1991.

HUSKER FANS WERE SO CLASSY , THEY GAVE THE DAWGS A STANDING O AFTER THE GAME! MUCH RESPECT FOR THOSE FANS!
Nebraska fans knew that was a damn good team. The only teams to beat Nebraska at home from 1987-1991 (3 teams) either won or played for a title
Most dominant defense in Pac-10 history
What about 92-95 Arizona Wildcats defense
@@jamesjones2173 what about it?

As someone who really tries to be an objective sports fan, I'm absolutely convinced that Washington would have beat Miami in every facet of the game. On top of that, I believe that Washington's defense was as good as any that came either before and after it. In fact, I think you could make a case that they were in the top 5 defenses in history--and I don't say that lightly. They really were that good.
imagine the playoff back then. alot of good teams back then.
The 91' Huskies were complete on every aspect. They had a good passing & running game. As you said they had a great defense you couldn't pass and run on. Also had pretty good special teams as well. They would have kicked Miami's ass in 1991, the fact that they beat Miami in 1994 with a depleted probation team tells me everything. If they had a playoff in 1991 it would have been Washington, Miami, Florida and most likely Michigan.
@@BAYAREA-kd1ig washingtoin blew Michigan out in the Rose Bowl that year, 34-14, and it wasn't even that close. That UW team was one of the all time greats. Zero weaknesses. They had a three game streak where they outscored their opponents 158-3.
@@BAYAREA-kd1igwhat about Florida State? They were #1 in the polls for most of the season until they missed a chip shot field goal against Miami
That 91 husky D was no joke. They were a bunch a wild dogs our there
Would have been a much better team if Mark Brunell hadn't been hurt. Didn't even matter still went undefeated.
I've never seen a team so dominate on any level as this Husky team was. They mashed offensive lines at will and basically had their way with everybody. The NCAA blew up the program strictly out of spite just like they did to USC several years later. Don James walked away in protest costing the game one of the greatest leaders of young men they had at the time. Huge , Huge loss. But I can't blame him.
+Richard Vert That team was the best football team I ever saw at any level hands down ... That Defense they had shot around like Star Wars ..
the pac 10 was more responsible for the harsh penalties than the NCAA....spiteful
And to think...the whole violation was over a private loan to BJ Hobert to buy a Camaro! A Camaro!
Haven't been the same since. Yea we one that rose bowl bowl in 2001 but that was it.
As a Husker fan this was a painful loss, Nebraska led 21-9 44 minutes into the game the 4th and 1 that they didn't get hurt them they just fell apart in the 4th. Washington was a fantastic team that year no question and made the plays they needed to make to win a big game in Lincoln.
What stands out to me from this- Nebraska would not lose another game at home for 7 years
I am a volunteer from Tennessee but I love those Huskies!!! stationed near there with 2nd ranger bat before went into Special Forces. I love those purple dawgs!!
Hondo T I was born and raised in Knoxville and was brought up a volunteer, but I live in Washington and have season tickets for UW. I’m mostly a Dawg now but still love my Vols.
this was a real game....Washington 91 was one of the best teams that Nebraska has ever played, I actually don't think NU 91 was an average team. They were good - they won the Big 8, and hung with Miami in Miami for 2-3 quarters. Washington was the best team that year, and one of the best ever
Nebraska '91 was far from average, the only two losses they had that season were against both of the co-national champions lol.
Alot of respect for you husker fans out there
The 1991 Washington Huskies were a BADASS team! We should have done it in 90 as well but got upset by a mediocre at best UCLA team near the end of the season.
I was doing real estate, got in the car on the way home and heard Bryant's fumble and N's score making it 21-9. Turned off radio figuring Wa's national championship hopes were over. Got home and after a while was flipping through the channels and saw Wa 22-21. Watched the rest, of course. That was an incredible team.
moar liek fake estate amirite
Man, loved that 91 team!
This would be the last home game Tom Osborne ever lost and it would be a LONG time before Nebraska lost at home period.
I actually watched it back in '91 when I was in high school - had to rewatched the game tonight. Can't believe it still gives me the chills. The 91 team had DEF that literally sapped then life out of Nebaska as the game went on. The OFF had NFL potential candidates. Can't see the Dogs doing any better than the '91 team.
Plain shame when the Dawgfather left after Hobert had a case of the guilt's. Would have liked to have seen Dawgs play Miami on I-5 for the National Championship, after Miami player said Dawgs could only win at home. Believe it was Chico Fraley that said we'll play them in the Orange Bowl, we'll play them on Mars, we'll even play them on I-5. There is no doubt they would have torn Miami a new one.
This team was soooo damn tough!!! They had speed, skill, toughness, and was deep with talent.
One of the greatest UW victories in their history. The look on the Dawgfather's face at the end tells you he knew this team would be his finest .
Considering how Tom Osborne's Huskers were so dominant on both sides of the line in those years, they really met their match with the '91 Huskies. Go Pac-12!
Jay Effing Barry. We'll always love you, man.
Tom Osborne would never again lose at home!
I know that's why Miami dominated them in the Orange Bowl. If Miami would have played Wa or Nebraska they would not have dominated. They would have lost to Washington.
Jay Barry turns the corner just beautiful.
Lovin the white tops, purple bottoms.
totally agree. bring back the 90 uniform. and the 90 huskies dog logo
13:03 "Yeah Jay Barry! It's about time you listen to me!" Haha that cracked me up. Go Dawgs!
I love this video. Can't wait till our defense gets back to this level of play.
Go Dawgs!
biggeazy206 Were getting there, and should be really good this year. Go Dawgs
Much is always made about how Nebraska's losses to Florida St. and Miami in bowl games in the late '80s and early '90s emphasized the Cornhuskers' need to improve their overall team speed and change its defensive scheme. But I think these losses to Washington in '91 and '92 were just as important in shaping the Big Red dynasty that was to come.
For sure. Compare the Blackshirts in this game vs the next year in Seattle. Washington probably should've scored more than 36 in this game. Probably should've scored about 21 in the 92 game. What was interesting was that Nebraska actually was pretty good on defense against OU (For the most part) and CU in the 80s, even if they lost those games. Nebraska actually had to get better skill at rush end and OLB in order to both take care of the run and cover spread - or at least pro style - passing teams. Nebraska's offense actually struggled at least as much in their biggest games, but a lot of that was the defenses of Miami, FSU, and OU, which were elite
Pornhuskers 🍆
A true national championship in 1991 would have been Washington and Miami because it's still questioned to this day who would be the winner, Miami had a quick strike offense and a great defense, while Washington was the most physical team on offense and defense that year
GENERALSPARTAN27 It would have been a classic. Idk who would have won but it would have been a beautiful game.
+GENERALSPARTAN27 There was a lot more NFL talent on the Washington team on both sides of the ball (including the #1 draft pick). Torretta wasn't a mobile QB either and didn't do well against high pressure defenses (judging by his performance in the 92 Sugar Bowl). I think Washington would have beaten Miami soundly.
Both teams also had superb field goal kickers, especially Miami's. That game could have come down to the last seconds and a field goal determining the winner.
M Rodgers
Steve Emtman was a #1 pick in the draft?
Yes.
I remember this day and game very vividly! As a huge Husky fan I was ecstatic after they won the game in the 3 and 4th quarter.
thank you so much for posting excerpts of the 1991 washington v nebraska game on the tube...is it possible you can put the whole game on youtube.....it was a great game!....it would mean alot for a lot of people if we could see the whole game...thax
Thank you for posting this, remember when the score was 21-9 I thought it was a tough battle to catch up in Lincoln. But after scoring 17 straight points , I realized this team was for real.
never forget this game
ill never forget that night
It was fun being a dawg back then. Feels good to hear Keith Jacksons ' voice again.
When the Northern schools ruled College Football,,,

Huskies defense started dominating them in the 3rd quarter crushed them in the 4th quarter.
Huskies offense steamrolled them in the 4th. 81-yard TD run. Huskies running backs were cooking. Offensive line dominates. Hobert was a QB who could run with the ball (Hallmark of great Husky team years; a "running back-quarterback").
Mario Bailey receiver = great.
1st half a close game.
2nd half a Huskies rout.
Such a beautiful game!! DAWGS BABY!!!
Fair point - forgot about the shutout. Miami's defense is the best NU ever faced. However, NU's defense hung with Miami virtually the whole game - I think Miami only had 13 pts at halftime. Washington hung 618 yards on NU - in Lincoln (this used to be a big deal till the last 6-7 yrs or so :P). Playing Nebraska in Lincoln vs home was about a 10-14 point swing, according to Vegas (and opposing Big 8 coaches). Miami would have had a quite a low-scoring tussle had they played in Nebraska.

I played against your Dad in high school basketball seemed like a nice guy.

You can see Emmett Smith's influence on some of these players, taking off their helmet after every score.
Please upload the whole game. I'd really appreciate it.
3:51 the ref just gets blasted
LMAO!!!!
12:34 someone's finger! LOL. Seen this clip a bunch of times. Never noticed it until now.
No transfer portal back then. Guys stuck it out and competion made you better.
I could live with the transfer portal as long as players still had to sit out a season. The way it is now along with NIL money just turned everything into ruthlessly mercenary
Hey! That's targeti...oh yeah. Never mind.
Shutouts are always nice but Miami only scored 3 tds at home. You also have to admit Michigan was a much much tougher opponent than Nebraska and UW led them 34-7 before Mich scored a late td in the rose bowl, in a neutral site. UW was better than Miami that year. Remember Miami only won at FSU because the FSU FG kicker choked.
How bad do you think Washington would have beaten that FSU team that ripped the ACC to shreds that year?
@@GENERALSPARTAN27 21 to 25 points. There should be more buzz about this Washington team being the best of all time
Yes and this game UW won by 15 but it was in Lincoln. You dont see any difference between playing Neb at home vs in Lincoln???
I knew Craig Sundberg's daughter in college - she said, "my dad always said he sucked." At least she was a Husker fan ;)
As good as Nebraska was, they had some very average DB's and slow LB's in 91. Three years later they had the team speed to beat Miami and blow out Florida.
great game!! Anyway you could upload the entire game or perhaps trade this game for another game....I never saw the game!
this game was in Nebraska..

Shit Tyrone, get it together!
I mean 27 Straight points, errr
Obscene gesture at 12:34
ONE WORD EMTMSN
I was at this game and you could tell in the 3rd quarter that it was slipping away. McCan't was one of the worst QB's ever at Nebraska.
You have to realize that a shutout in a New Years Day Bowl games is impressive as hell. How many times have you seen that? Nebraska didn't cross the 50 yard line until the mid 3rd quarter. Miami dominiated Nebraska in all phases of the game. Washington pulled away from Nebraska at the end of the game. This Washington team was good but I think Miami would have beaten them. That Miami game is on youtube check it out.
But you have to realize that this game was early in the season for the Huskies and they were just starting to really play as a team. They were much better by the end of the year.
No MicahvHebeil
Washington wasn't better than Miami! If I'm correct Miami shut Nebraska out in Miami 22-0. But I agree with you on your point, that this was a real game.
kevolicious when the team that bot Miami and washington played said washington was the harder team, you can't really say Miami was better. You had players that played both and said UW was better
You don't know what you are talking about McCant put up some very good numbers. I can name 10 worse Quarterbacks than him at Nebraska. Lord,Lee,Sorley,Garcia,Clayton,Grant,Luck,Joseph,Quinn,Mauer,Dailey,Beau Davis,Green,Travis Turner, Craig Sundberg.. That's 15.. lol
No
