Great season until the end. Awesome defense coupled with the typical conservative Akers offense that couldn't squeeze out just one more field goal, let alone a TD, in the Cotton Bowl.

That fucking punt call...

And of course, the infamous muffed punt...

At least we can use this from now on. 

Or we can just tell Georgia to go fuck themselves and keep being a 2nd tier football program

That fucking Cotton Bowl.  Muffed punt, no words.

But I was really pissed about the GA TD run - I think it was 4th down - the TX outside linebacker responsible for contain was ankle tackled by an interior GA lineman.  I know because I had a Beta Max tape of the game replayed it over and over. I SEEN'T IT.

At the time it was kind of like, damn that sucks, but time to move on.  Nebraska was unstoppable, number 1, no chance to jump them playing some weird team from Miami?

Yeah, then the Orange Bowl happened.

At the time my UTEP brother told me TX didn't deserve to be National Champs anyway, since TX was #2 and played like #2 in the game. I told him to fuck off.

It was obvious at the time he got tackled.  I was screaming at the TV.

We had a discussion on the Shag about that particular year.  I think Nebraska would have won if Texas won.  And Miami's run may never have happened.  Instead, Nebraska was sleep-walking until the 4th quarter.

One of the best defenses in college football history. Sadly one of the worst offenses as well. Everyone used to stand up and cheer whenever that defense came into the field.
