College football's top 25 plays since 2000



21. Black 41 Flash Reverse Pass | Oct. 27, 2001


On his way to the Heisman Trophy in 2001, Nebraska quarterback Eric Crouch delivered one of the greatest plays in school history. His heroics mostly came from running the option, but on this play against Oklahoma, Crouch handed off the ball, peeled out into the flat and up the field as a receiver. The original ball carrier, Thunder Collins, handed it to Mike Stuntz on a reverse, and he hit Crouch sprinting down the sideline for a 63-yard touchdown.

The surprising playcall came with No. 2 Nebraska leading No. 3 Oklahoma in the fourth quarter and clinched the win. -- Bonagura

Should've mentioned how Oklahoma had just tried and failed to run a similar play...

Do you know how many personal fouls we would get called on now a days?

Memba one of the following years (when Helu went off on his record game) I think, one of the Osborne twins lost their forced fumble against Gabbert because the ref ruled forward progress had stopped in the pocket  :facepalm:

That's still one of the most bulls#!t calls I've ever seen.

First of all, there was no call on the field other than the ref immediately blowing the play dead for some reason.

Second of all, it's the clearest damn fumble you'll ever see.

Third of all, Ed Cunningham's sanctimonious hate boner against us that year led to the announcers almost failing to point out the fumble at all, barely giving it lip service in the context of talking about how it was an illegal hit.

Fourth, there was never any review, or explanation given. The game just moved on with one of the most egregious no/wrong calls you'll ever see.
