#1 Nebraska Cornhuskers at Missouri Tigers - 1997 - Football

now moments ago Jack arute spoke with Coach Smith as he came out of the locker room Jack and brandy told me that in the locker room he very quietly told his players play and be yourselves the same can't be said though for Larry Smith when I asked him what it meant to him emotionally to be on the sidelines in this game Brent he couldn't answer me he broke down in tears that's for the kind of emotional rollercoaster then Larry Smith is written here at Missouri but he's back and they're back here today in judgment day to try and beat their phone Nebraska and on the other side the man who won 250 games faster than any coach in history Tom Osborne dead last week against Oklahoma the Big Red Machine that it took proven otherwise this in my opinion is clearly clearly the number one team in the nation I don't care how many telephones or graduates you got you gotta beat this team on the field ladies and gentlemen that's where it belongs and Chris Brown number 35 will kick it off for the Cornhuskers Ricky Ross and Devin West standing back line and we'll be underway to the 21-yard take a look at Corby Jones number seven fine improving quarterback in broccoli bow the all-time rusher here at Missouri and effort man wide receivers kit layman maturing for the Tigers as the fall progresses he's the go-to guy number 84 but here's the key how will this line hold up Travis people can he get the job done against whistling today we're about to find out the first play of the game now for Kobe Jones against this great one touchdown in three weeks straight I Jones gonna throw it on first down it's one-on-one and a completion number 84 and there is layman making the first reception so it didn't take Jones long to get the ball up against this defense they know they can't sit in and run against Jason and grant Wistrom all day long perhaps two of the finest defensive linemen in college football today Octavius mcFarland scooped up a fumble against Oklahoma and sent Nebraska on their way a week ago Irwin sweetie it's number 16 he's a freshman he's over on the left corner defensively right now lining up Missouri is going to test him they show eight in the box right now and sweetie goes for the motion man his first carry and it's a first down Missouri there's the difference the first six games when they were struggling they rallied after a nightmare of a loss to Kansas State over their last three games 495 yards Dan and Brent you talked about the time of possession that they had last week against Colorado well that's really been the key each game this year they have had the advantage in the time of possession and the key for them has been good plays on first down we're seeing a new type of down marker being used here today and perhaps broccoli both came up a little bit short Jerry Berg the offensive coordinator told us yesterday that it's important to but in order to keep drive alive you gotta convert on these three here is the third a ditches and they'll show a split back formation with one seven the tailback and light straight ahead goes Corby Jones Jones the junior from right here in Columbia his daddy is the defensive line with four feet waves right now and this field as you can see has been torn up and rain during the week and it's real soft in the middle of the field between the hash marks using Chris Meredith as an expert I did wearing the number 99 horsy keeps to the 32 Octavius mcFarland their number for making the read for the Cornhuskers both these teams on offense are very similar in fact Larry Smith would like to pattern his team after what they do up there in Lincoln and say that the big thing here is the fact that you can run the ball on the ground you're going to be successful here the big 12 sweetie the freshman corner this is second cause that's the tide and eddie Brooks who jumped the snap count from Missouri and this will be a costly five yards 80 Brooks is in the lineup because he's a good receiver false start offense five-yard Finland defeat second and he was on his way to the secondary on a pass Robert a little too soon though that's John Lurie from Emporia Kansas who's our referee today his umpire is Richard Wittenberg out of Lubbock Texas way chance now to close down after one first down while he was changing up deep and now sweetie backs off the line they're pressing the quad is gonna be called Cory Jones was about to throw apparently into the teeth of that defense and Larry Smith told us yesterday that if he sees something he doesn't like doesn't want use the timeout and come on over to the sideline and we'll talk about it rather do that than serve up an interception down here so we will take a break just underway here in Columbia no score will go right back the Zarif a seed a second 16a dan you don't have a plane like that for a Nebraska defense well it's important that they just get half of it and try to pick up the other half on third down - one ounce of the time they'll chase with Sweeney at home he's going to keep it a native the MacFarlane checks in on him first and Peter jumps in second on Eman nothing doing and now you're in third and a bunch real tough to run an option against Nebraska they play against the option all the time in fact the Rastas toughest game on offense each year maybe their spring game when they're going against their own defense 14 Devon West in defensively standard learners gonna be close defense at the 40-yard line by number 22 made it extremely close over there Ralph Brown the sophomore corner coming up right at the marker to bring Corby down that is a big time defensive play this is a great play Brett because what Brown did is he forced Corby to go to the outside and I think Korpi should have lowered his shoulder and taken on the defensive back and set a turning to the sideline look at that tackle head inside pushes him out of bounds they're going for it oh baby what a gamble here early fourth and short but see if Smith keeps it right in Corby's hands let's see if they use a hard count immediately timeout Nebraska is going to take a timeout they had the punt return team already on the field so we have nothing else it cost Nebraska a timeout let's see what Smith and Missouri counters was now well the one thing that Missouri has in their favors they have some huge running backs Bron James the full-back 275 pounds look for Brock Olivo to line up in the deep by behind Jayde's and maybe they'll even put in Devin West or Ernest Blackwell to form a jumbo backfield and then you gotta cut count the quarterback Corby Jones was it picked up the first down on third and short earlier in this Drive so they have a lot of big guys that they had a lot of options that they could use in this situation I'll tell you one other option they've got Corby Jones from the shotgun can run it on fourth down and short if they do not show a deep man Corby Jones is one of three punters on this Missouri team right now and if they can get an open field back there he may go forward sure the Nebraska coaches are reminding the defensive backfield of just that possibility right now the one thing if Jones goes back into a short punt formation or shot gets warm and fun then dog Jones is in there they are going with the power Jameses Jones Hansen first down answer the first test with earnest blackwell the senior from st. Louis and Smith and Missouri serves notice that they will not back down here they come offensive line has just done a great job please last four games now watch the surge as they come off hamburger de Meyer and then the big fullback Blackwell picks up the first down rather easily levo gets about as deep in that backfield as any tailback we've seen this season he's a good eight yards behind for me long reach Povey Sprint's out like a tattoo it's Brooks 35 pounds in the 22 and the tiger it's a play-action fake it from the far side here that's the backside tight end this is number three any Brooks coming out of the backfield it's a huge game for Missouri as they just have a whole lot of momentum and confidence operating with number seven right now sweetie 10:23 to the 18 yard line and again that clock continues to tick away the big red they haven't touched it yet here this afternoon a key third down conversion on third and short and then the fourth down and one when they come up with the big line the big backs in the backfield give it to Blackwell but they have four running backs in condemn Alanna damage plus number seven against Auburn Steve take it down more than five minutes on that short drop gonna throw bait for the corner against my complete blaming the intended receiver and Kobe wanted him one-on-one for the fade this offensive line has been run blocking extremely well last couple of games well today they're giving Jones a lot of time to throw as well quicks three-step drop that time and Corby just overthrew his receiver that might have been a jump ball situation in the corner of the end zone about this for ball control right now the Levites play coming up minutes against Nebraska spins away beautifully 20 a beautiful spinny move with Brian Shaw saving the tuck down over the actually it's Brian Shaw who can't bring down the 220 pound Corbett Jones this effort is just outstanding this away he's been playing the last three weeks watch the effort to get into the end zone as he breaks another tackle that was Mike Brown and finally Jay Foreman comes over I'm not so sure that ball wasn't Missouri strikes first stick but attempted the extra point seven Nebraska and Microsoft where do you want to go today with Zuri seven new Braska nothing will happen short so Scott frost number seven will bring the offense out here for Coach Osborne I'm on green over a thousand yards rushing and our Chili's lineup also features Joel makovicka at fullback in each item number six steps into that starting lineup today for the big red behind their usual assortment of great offensive blockers John Eskew played awfully well against Oklahoma a week ago is the first flossed neck in Jackson the tight-end first down Sheena preaches second down and ten the front for for Missouri defensively today and this is the group that must hold up Marquis Gibson has been a great rush man but is he big enough against his stout offensive line we're about to find out huge change at the linebacking core Kevin Ford moves back to bandit he was an inside man a few weeks back and in the defensive backfield wait Perkins number 22 draws a start today Bobby Newcombe Barry Odom and Justin Wyatt number 39 and number 90 are there defensively for the Tigers this is a great start for the Missouri defense almost as good sir offensive start was watch the speed here you talked about Wyatt as he and Gibson run a stunt at the top of the screen Gipson takes away the inside and just no place great eight is out of bounds at the 37 that's a first down for Nebraska this is an excellent play on 3rd down as the two receivers on this side ran off the defensive backs and watch the efforts out by Oman green as he's going to lower his head and dive and pick up the first down cheat him out wide to the right Riggins to the left or crossed another first down for Nebraska Harold Percy the junior three safety and he'll be busy today the young man from Kansas City making stops that's a 13-yard gain for Scott Ross now here is pearcy number two he's their number one tackler and this is why but the bad thing about this is it's about ten or eleven yards down the field and it's another first down for the Cornhuskers five seven wasp inside pitch Ramon greens got daylight to the forty Donell Jones the nose man got in meant this was almost an inverted option play goes down as a forward pass the shovel pass inside but for the quarterback he reads it he reads it just the like a an option play watch the teamwork between frost and grain there's the option to the inside another good play for Nebraska second down - it's a Green stock let's check in with John Saunders when you come back it'll be third down Fred time for the Burger King update Michigan already up three nothing on Penn State Anthony Thomas takes this one and rumbles 12 yards for the touchdown the Wolverines jump in front handing to nothing in the first quarter meantime Colorado in a battle against Iowa State they've trailed throughout the game but right now lead it by five Fred back to you John I can't believe you let Todd Blackledge get away with picking Penn State Bureau says it's all Michigan boss gonna change it up misery player is injured and down at the 38 yard line with Bryant Cray Kraft senior from Mesa Arizona one of the defensive lineman they're already a little bit short-handed at that spot and they could not afford to be losing players like prey craft this is the big concern for Larry Smith and the entire Missouri coaching staff can the defense hold up against Nebraska here this afternoon that was the number one issue they were pretty confident coming into this game that the offense could move the ball I think we saw why on that last series when they consumed more than five minutes and marched in for a touchdown but for mo Anki the defensive coordinator there in the glasses and the rest of the staff the issue becomes one of trying to stop a team that is averaging 500 total yards a game Scott frost got hit right on the top then he got up he objects to that watch him point that the perpetrator over there he certainly should object to it he was on his way back to the huddle talk about late hit Kevin Ford was the guy but you know the thing that Anki told us about to Brett is it when you prepared for Nebraska because they have so many ways of running the option it's almost like preparing for a whole season in just one week the one thing Tom Osborne will do with his team each year is his rejuvenate his offense they give them more types of action players to run and nobody in the nation does it better than Osborne's T sophomore Steve Erickson checks in at defensive tackle Dallas Texas and frost to the 31 with Erickson hanging on so right away number 94 gets in on the action he's been playing quite a bit lately they've been running in Erickson and Jeff Marriott because of what you talked about they they get worn down at certain parts of the game and when you go up against Nebraska they have so many players they're on second offensive line is almost as good as their first offensive line Jeff Blake who's been a bit nicked up checks in along with Lance wingback and foster on a second but inside the 15-yard line Easter the strong safety from Houston pushing him out but you can see now the vigorous marching down the field that's 18 more yards watch the strength of all my green is he's going to break the arm tackle of number 90 Justin Wyatt and why it's a big man's that greed with good leverage that time gets down all the way inside the 15-yard line spinner for perhaps a yard a young man was not lost any yardage yet this season of course he shouldn't be losing too many yards from that up back or fullback position but that time al sterling stopped him about as close to the line of scrimmage as you can make it makovicka a week ago scoring three touchdowns Dan you had a very good point you've never seen a fullback walk in untouched as many times as makovicka did a week he had three touchdowns one was from about five yards out another one for about 35 other ones who he was Cheeta man Nuka rashon Jackson moved across next week North Carolina goes to Clemson Washington UCLA on a Rose Bowl Colorado Kansas date for those of you in big debt big 12 country and of course we will have a big 10 matchup which we will announce later now with the penalty at his second down and 13 sit down six points Scud cross into the end zone quarterback draw all the way to Brett sixteen yards and a great effort three Tigers at about the 2-yard line here is first the kicking game the improvement of number seven Scot Ross the one thing about the Missouri attack is it's a lot like Nebraska's I mean Jones can be an equally as dangerous as Scott frost running the ball there's Charlie McBride down on the sideline long time great defensive assistant Ernest Blackwell and Devin West are now the running backs the full-back is very dangerous here Blackwell layman goes in motion for Mizzou this will be West you can see how they stopped him with grant Wistrom number 98 and over on the sidelines Scott frost putting on the flak jacket now puts the shoulder pads back on and he'll be ready to go he is a warrior he must add a prompt with his pads putting the flak jacket on that's probably part of his normal equipment he must have ripped something lotion with that great dive into the end zone second down and seven keeping the laymen in motion trying to get him against that freshman touring roles keeps it so nothing doing right now for Missouri with Mike Rucker along with Jay Foreman so the linebackers moving quicker to stop Bobby Jones and take the keeper away from him on that slant play on this series well what happens Brent is the linemen get double-teamed a lot so that means the linebackers are free to flow nobody gets a very good block on number 44 Chuck Foreman's son steps away from trouble in a heap sacked at the 19-yard Jason Peter number 55 leads the way that time Jason wilts was also there but there is a great defensive tackle number 55 well this just one Husker after another coming after Gorby Jones here there's two goes flying by then on the outside Ortiz flies by and turns them back into the red pants of Nebraska so here it is three and out and Jason Smith but first for Miss Ruthie Newcombe the middle man let's see if they'd come away into the side short and Nebraska will wind up an outstanding field a short field for Scott frost and the Cornhuskers coming up a 24 yard punt now coach Larry Smith works with the special teams and doesn't make any difference coach how much hang time you got this time that was not far enough baby you don't even have to look at the hang time on this one take a bounce he says yeah you maybe your timing bounced I'm on it nothing like that it's amazing Larry Smith told us yesterday that when they were backed up that fence SIBO would be his boner you know coaches first here's the talk scope on will confront alley races there to the 27-yard line perhaps overlooked in the discussion of great running backs continues to pile up the yards 15 more for a mod this is just great patience and usually you get this with a good running back behind a good offensive line look at that back up Vic and gets it to the mix it's another big game for a Mon greenus he's almost halfway to 100 242 to go score is tied bobble the snap now lay hands off slow down at the 21-yard line still picked up six yards on that carriage but you go back to that bunt and even before that the sack of Corey Jones of seven yards you see how important field position is last week Nebraska had an incredible field position against Oklahoma they come back they answer the opening touchdown by Missouri with a nice 74 yard drive of their own and now on offense additional have to go have the field Shevin Wiggins and Matt Davison in on offense three touchdowns this time it that's a first down inside the 15 yard line and piercing the safety making the stop for the Tigers for a 235 pounds back makovicka is pretty nifty feet little belly play here makes a couple of moves there use all the way to the safety and all the way inside the 15 Graner at nebraska plate eight-man football as many of the nebraska fullback through the years have come out of that eight-man program in that state 1:30 to go nebraska inside the 15-yard 7/7 he is an awesome runner because he's not scared to take punishment he's unbelievable he takes on like a fullback but remember the shot he took from Kevin Brown earlier in the game when he was getting up off the ground I think he's mad and when you add a little anger to athletic ability like that look how far he takes shad Chris down the field after contact at 111 we've got a timeout called by Nebraska Frost wants to talk it over with Coach Osborne of the staff on the other sideline so reminder tomorrow's programming coming your way on ABC the thrifty car rental skate america show starring Tara Lipinski at 1:00 Eastern Time three Pacific and the Lincoln Mercury kapalua international the final round Davis love has always made it over there to Hawaii playing our friend Mark Rolfing tournament over there he'll be up amongst the leads you can bet on that always plays well at that tournament 110 to go it's 7:00 7:00 but Nebraska is threatening to storm it again Smith still concerned about that defense that was the big issue coming into this game but his hunter betrayed in the last timeout to give him Nebraska outstanding field position well there are the big 12 crushers and there are some good know making great ones Ricky Williams four consecutive weeks of 200 plus yards on a team that's got one in three come on green with 13 touchdowns there's poor V Jones and Scott frost the two quarterbacks are three and four and the two are probably fine for the big 12 quarterback of the year right here on this game goodnight battle his way into the endzone stopped at the one-yard line on the first down handoff and that was a heck of a stop with Piercy number two and from that safety spot making another stop and that really was a great job of two men finding the ball carrier and making the tackle Piercy really lowered his head made a great play he's been a standout defensively but he liked that defensive line and the linebackers to start making a few more stops here's your second down and spins away to the right and touchdown on the cross go too late waiting to see first scores his second touchdown out of this game and swelled the season but it's the effort here Fred you call that he gets hit right there short of the end zone but he spins across and clearly gets into the end zone for his second of the day I guess the lesson here is don't make Scott cross ban NZ these seams are done dress on that sideline beware they go put on some more bass so the extra toilet and just like that two possessions two scores Missouri will come up it's 14-7 Cornhuskers Jack arute how you vote non judgement day partner well Brent first I've got to get my computer to do it you know Judgment Day you can vote right now you can go to AOL key word is ABC sport or go on the internet to espn.com and you can vote which way you think it should be we should be number one go was the last time Grammy met so many people that were undefeated this late in the season I think it's only win what five times throughout the year throughout the season and they say it's tens up to Michigan get those folks in I feel like I do know the telephone or something here it's a jack dial-up that computer and vote for the Huskers for me worry my friend no one has like they did into washing and one equality game then hand at Oklahoma its greatest defeat ever guard and the Cornhuskers hope to be headed down to the Orange Bowl and played for the national championship and Aaron fight and won it all whoever can make it west and flawless back deep number three a defensive started for the Speirs Eric Warfield they have saved the day for Nebraska Chris Brown was coming over on the play and he was blocked and he was blocked by dem and West number 32 47-yard returned now for Ricky Ross look at the M pronounced front there that may have been an ill legal block before it turned his back on the blocker and that's exactly what Missouri needs is a short field then they've got one Dan for the yards let's see if they can make it work for him jain's checks in at that fullback spot he'll be lined up and they show wide open they flood with three wide receivers for Corbin to the light it's a passing game that's been improving he's gonna throw the defensive pressure got to it and he had no chance to throw the spiral out to his three wide receivers what a defensive front nebraska features take a look at Jason look at him get off the ball number 55 now then watch him get his hands up and that's why that ball came out bouncing six foot five warbie Jones about six one maybe not quite that tall they might friend right down a road Dick Vermeil in st. Louis he'd better take a look at this Jason Peter and this kids an awesome let's attack check it down Corby fakes a handoff thanks Fred Murchison the senior from Richmond Virginia we just got together wide receivers and he Assam to make big plays this is a pretty good throw by Jones and a great effort that he never saw by his wide receiver Jay Murchison watch as he spits away from Brown gets a little help from his tight end and sets up the offense in good shape here at the end of the first quarter red has been a lot of hype about a lot of football games this week but I'll tell you one thing whey and wicked I'm to Jack arute Jack Brennan offensive coordinator from Missouri Jerry burns says one of the reasons why the offensive line is performing so well now is because of this man Andy molar one of the things that I've noticed on the sidelines here is each time the old line comes off the field he gathers them around and literally begins to continue the teaching process in addition one of the things he just said to them is you've got to believe in yourselves so far they do and they ones have a linebacker up at Michigan second down and five option from SWAT finally out-of-bounds is the tightrope walk behind at the 48-yard line and a first down for Nebraska they're Wistrom and Peter but the defense over here has to be concerned and the dan you made the point about Wistrom and a possible leg injury you said grantee has a bruised thigh that's real close to his knee and what happens then is you get all this fluid that seeps down into the knee it makes a neat very sore but you sure can't tell by the way place another first down a beautiful pattern run by Sheldon Jackson the past receiving tide in that time number 88 but just like that in to place the brass can fix up 30 yards Frost is so determined though it just is it's great to watch his improvement from just a year ago no pass rush at all and a wide open tight end Kenny Cheatham off to the quarterbacks left here on her snap 3,600 Weston Missouri tied stopped on first down Harold Pierce II joined the fray again from that safety spot helping out on that tackle Barry Odom threw a shoe making that tackle on Ahmad green that's a big hit when your chute comes up when you tackle the guy the Huskers offensive line we'll get down for the second na wait working pounds but inside the 30-yard line in short of a first down so a third down coming up here for the Huskers that was shad Kris number five certainly one of their best defensive backs you know Brett it looked like Missouri did a good job of stringing this play out Sam Joshua number 51 there then you look up and Green gets really close to a first down even when Missouri seems to make a good play on defense nebraska's picking up no quick screen come on to the seven yard almost turned a horse down into a touchdown run 21 yards bad tackling on the corner by the tiger you know a lot of his success today friends and all season long has come to the short side of the field this offensive line is just blotting out any black shirt there is Taylor getting way down the field to add another key block Easter hanging on from behind or would have been six 11 carries 86 yards for hon tied at 14 I have to go spins to the three yard line Ericson reaching in on the stop for the Tigers that time and you've got to be aware of the full-back in this type of office makovicka comes in with a seven point seven yards per carry average not quite up to that yet today but look at the yards that his quarterback in his tailback are making in a ball nose man Danelle Jones number 37 checks it at the goal line defense second down and goal Wallace at the three yard line in short this time they were ready for the quarterback keeper he probably would have been better off pitching the ball that time jostle WA and Jones who just checked in and made the stop for the Tigers it's such a split-second decision for the quarterback on the option he's got to read the defense as he's running knowing that they're got this cover to knock his block off you know number 51 right there that's Joshua he's the only player on the Missouri team who was alive in 1973 which was the last year that Missouri feat Nebraska in Columbia referee so it could have been an illegal formation and a shift by Nebraska that time has that man threw the flag uncharacteristic that's at Nebraska would have two men moving at the same time and especially I'm on green and Joel makovicka I think makovicka was supposed to be moving but watch number 30 here's green and here's makovicka makovicka supposed to move but watch green he's not supposed to do that that's two men moving and you get that yellow hankie flying they thought they were playing for Saskatchewan baby better town and goal for Augsburg Huskers on the 7 yard line the mana green for the touchdown 70 yards from Larry Smith biggest his defense will get worn down yes are you proud again nebraska back into a seven-point advantage here Larry Smith 21 years a head coach after he was dumped by USC sat out of here how big a mistake was that for the Trojans we'll be right back ABC sports presentation college football's brought to you by Marriott hotels resorts & Suites we believe when you're comfortable you can do anything Chevrolet trucks the most dependable longest I've seen trucks on the road bellow from Philips Magnavox the power of a computer in the palm of your head and Chili's grill and bar home of the big mouth burgers 2114 Nebraska in a wide-open affair here in Columbia Missouri 1008 to go in the first half meanwhile Michigan running roughshod over Penn State a decision that you can pay a price for that who does is normally lost against the coverage teams for Nebraska amongst the best in the country so the show-me Tigers the last time they had a winning season 83 last time they defeated Colorado 84 they don't play Texas every year folks but it was 1916 and they will go to a bowl they share regardless of what happens here today and they've been fun to watch let me tell you that now thirty to go so then they make crack the top 25 so let's see how grandmas with Jason Peter hanging on at the 50-yard line now here's how coach Smith told us yesterday that he wanted to come out against the Nebraska Cornhuskers I don't think that they'll catch us flat I think right now we're playing good football and it's nothing fancy basically all we're doing is that we're fighting and blocking and tackling but the biggest thing is we're fighting for each other and we get into a game tempo now and it seems like the best comes out and so I don't think we'll come out flat they certainly have not putting two touchdowns on the board against the team that had given up only one in weeks how about this young man Corby Jones Dan what's your feeling about him now we saw him earlier this year at Ohio State shut him down you know I asked him yesterday what would you rather do would you rather run for a touchdown or would you rather throw for one and he broke into this big grin and said man I'd rather throw for one because all I've heard for the last couple of years here in Colombia is that I can't throw well he's five out of seven right now for over a hundred yards McBride cannot be happy with the space he has been giving the Missouri receivers defensively first down he's got two men open this time marveled at the 47-yard line great hit by Mike Brown the loafer from Scottsdale Arizona number 21 this is a big play for Missouri last week against Colorado Kent layman scored on this play but watch the free safety here as the receiver comes from the right side of the field this is your option play fake bread that she likes so much it's already scored today but watch the play by number 21 Jones rose a perfect pass that's just perfect defense that was a great crossing route that time off of that pattern I'm not sure that I've seen that shut it down handoff to the full-back who powers to the 32-yard I that's big Jane was getting a call that day now there's a man who's allowed to change the hand when he comes that's a truck coming through it well he's 75 pounds and here's Curtis Jonesy of proud papa of poor Pete Jones that little defensive line here at Missouri I lost he was inducted into the indeed six more bees back in that shot Nebraska principle it's an event Korby throws it down the middle Johnson was the blitzing linebacker that time there was no time for me arch to its 36 yards her back Murphy did this against Oklahoma State where he just lofted the ball up in the air for Ricky Ross and that one came down as a touchdown Ross out battles Brown for this ball and lucky for Nebraska that roughs loses his footing here or he's in the end zone great concentration to make the catch BB's driving Missouri for Larry Smith through the air 7:13 to go first and ten the Tigers against number one now and Jones we'll check back into the game down at the 27 yard line into the heart of that deed keeping them honest you know on that last play there was a great blitz pickup by the running back dan watch broccoli Bo on this play now here is right here number 27 this guy does it all for Missouri works on special teams and now gives his quarterback time to throw the bomb and Eric Johnson the junior linebacker could not get there second down and six lot James back in it fullback for yards and the Cornhuskers give up in a game here in the first half the wait for he's got it rolling foot at the 39 Mike Rucker coming in from that other side along with grant Wistrom getting the job done and that sack will put Missouri on the other side of the 30-yard line it'll be third down and 13 after the seven yard loss that's a pair of seven yard losses now for Corby Jones watch how fast Nebraska players get off the ground Wistrom does not allow himself to be held or tackled there Nebraska shows crusher they'd like to come in this situation until the 22 yard line by Mike Brown short to be first down and see 11 yards it leaves them two yards shy of the first down but when it does is it puts the field goal kicker enraged nickman will now try a field goal instead of bringing out the punt team because of this effort breaks the tackle there and then a big hit coming by number 21 Mike Brown right there but that sets up nickman and very makable range Nebraska shows crusher what a great spot for a fake field goal they got a man sent it back to the live aqui dick was going to go ahead with the kick and he's got it a 39 yard field goal Nebraska leads Missouri but the Tigers chip away again his receivers the offshoot of it was the fact that with each receiver he came up with a very special route in the huddle although simply says run our rock I wonder if that big gain that big pass is one of those our routes Scott frosted Nebraska realized his nut around in the first half number 30 green on the delay before Wade Perkins the quarterback could make the stop but 18 yards later and another Nebraska first down so am on Green has been leading the way for the Cornhuskers today 13 carries and a hundred and eleven yards and Nebraska showing no mercy going with a hurry-up offense here with five minutes to go in the first half Missouri with great offensive numbers here in the first down great job by Corby John Laska to the 47-yard line a little bit short-handed at that I back spot at Nebraska that's been one of the most famous positions in college football Lawrence Phillips of course he's right down i-70 REMS with a tough one tomorrow up in Green Bay unfortunately they go there with Orlando pace sideline by a knee injury so Wayne candy moves over to left Fred Miller comes off the bench for the Rams who looked awfully good and lost Lafayette Atlanta last week four and a half minutes to go here in the first half cheetah checks in a wide receiver and bobby newcombe the wins from Albuquerque New Mexico they won't this way Green crosses the 50-yard line we'll see where they spot it he's gonna be close to a first down they have just so many ways to beat you with their offense they can run the option frost is having a huge first half they can throw the ball and he talked about Newcombe he came out of nowhere last week against Oklahoma with a 40 yard touchdown catch well I know that's a story that you wanted to know more about young man was born in Africa moved over to New Mexico and of course was recruited by the Cornhuskers and looks like he's gonna be a dandy still would like to try quarterback I think first out at 10:00 and floss keeps it big gap first down for the Huskers whistles dad I think you can hear the whistle before the clock came free there was no question about that call by the officials a 12 yard run for scuffle Dan let me ask is he played so many great years in the NFL and and it's question about frost as a as a pure thrower which is what the NFL like what would you do with this young man he's such a good athlete in the NFL well he's I think he's a potentially a safety in the NFL because they see the jumbotron they think it's a bubble but I think Frost has a future in the NFL not a quarterback I think it's on the other side of the wall there clearly the whistle was called away I suppose we had the advantage intercepted versus standing in and sham Christmas speed as chef Chris may have just made the biggest play of the first half just stand there wait the boss Davidson they're gonna get the penalty against Missouri here on the return against Nebraska tack it on baby and bring it to the other side of it schiff Marriott may have caused that interception I think he caused Frost to have to throw off the back foot when the big sophomore nose guard with the personal foul and Tom wants to know who it is who lost his poise out there because he'll be talking to the man and the ball is put down the 35 yard line and now can Corby take it in again and regain the lead what a first half and I think you're right about the pressure and I also think that cross was looking into the Sun we the Tigers stockinette play fake Corby rules right misoo thirty-five this first half threat is eight completions for two touchdowns 83 yards and you've got to kill a team after you get a picture can you believe this Judgment Day to the three-game winning streak ranked team in the nation that Michigan trout come on watch a ballgame the play-action fake gave them a lot of time to throw but I really have to wonder about the secondary of Nebraska how many times today this first half have we seen a Missouri receiver wide open this time it's broccoli while out of the backfield and now some fire on that sideline probably gonna be a head coach someday right there Rickey Hundley trying to get him fired up keeping their head in the game right now the associate and coach everybody's alive in Colombia a great job by this coaching staff and all the youngsters on this football team after that nightmare of a defeat at the hands of Kansas State the players got together met alone the coaches got together they reviewed everything and they have not lost sense and now they lead Nebraska 24 this is the feel-good story of the year in college football folks this is like both west 35 he battles his way right to that 35 yard line where it'll be Scott frost and Jack arute well great you were talking about moe hanky right there and Rickey Hundley well hanky and hung Lee had been marshalling the defensive people over behind the bench and they've been literally trying to carry them along emotionally that's their big concern you know Larry Smith is concerned about keeping the defense in the game well Rickey Hundley right there we'd go up to each and every player and say we're still in it stay with individual performances of the year from keeps it 32 yard line number seven the senior from Wood River Nebraska you folks back there that state know the story one of the great high school quarterbacks of all time at Nebraska went out to work with Bill Walsh Stanford moved him to safety they were changing coaches Walsh under fire out there he transferred back it was difficult replacing Tommie Frazier last year but he's come along this year very well and Correll footballs are number 36 the freshman checks in gets the toss doing for off Elster Lee number 48 delivers the message sterling replaced at middle linebacker was Kevin Ford that time the both of them teamed up and put a heck of a lick on the true freshman not many times will you see in Nebraska running back headbangers so it is third down and six shotgun for frost and the corn husk wide receivers Scott pulls it down left fire is three and let's put it Missouri's gonna have a lot of time fall back real concern with Missouri coming after this putt by Jeff couch so Jesse cush with Ricky Ross back deep which is daddy Nebraska Naida Nebraska coincident get a Missouri back to Missouri with 1:53 leading at 2421 after the 24-yard but so nebraska just a touch rattles not what they expected here in Columbia this afternoon this is a team they've been dominating for a couple of decades but supplied very bubble quarterback at Corby Jones but it's been the classic of jokes it's been the difference in this first half that is amazing already 24 points and for be back and ready to go at it again play fake twister battles free steps away he goes in a heap his number 84 was closing in from the other side Mike Walker the other end but Wistrom was battling free and forced quarry on the move no Gorby I think totally we couldn't hear the play dan is that possible well I think that what do you talk about as he couldn't call the play for some reason couldn't change the play it was it was very good wait up required 18 Western bloc three-point stance closet inside 31 yard line but it's only a gain of about 3 yards watching Wistrom and peter down there that defensive line is like watching a defensive line clinic time on is going to be cold by Nebraska that's a good move by Tom Osborne and his team they had to at that point now they have won they expect to get the ball back and remember how poorly Missouri punts the ball well we get a check of what's coming up at half-time so let's go to mr. judgment John Saunders coming up on Valvoline half 997 it's judgement day so far the gavels coming down hard on Penn State well they're getting overwhelmed right now in every phase of the game Michigan looks bigger faster stronger really taking it to the line we'll have all the day's scores and highlights including number one nebraska against missouri it's all coming up on bobbling halftime ninety seven one of the most painful admissions i've ever seen my friend not have to make you know but it's a little upsetting to me that Todd goes out and predicts a pet stay win and then he doesn't mention the fact that Oregon is absolutely demolishing Washington but the only other team to do that this year is his team and rent out here get on it my friend down in for Dave here is Corby Jones that's what he has done look at those numbers eight of 11 they have to throw him for a hundred and eighty three yards am i Dan fuss footsore have been wide open wide receivers from the start of this game it has been a clinic as far as the concern for Missouri let's see what they could do Hill on nobody's going to keep it there's so much speed on that and they come out with the ball but I'm not sure they're gonna give it to Nebraska that time even though it was rucker crawling out with the football that time he closed in there it is 24 nothing and their York at 24 6 they just put it in for you huh about special in Seattle it's early yet go ducks Corrigan fans it's early yet but hang in there that's wonderful now let's see if Washington loses that game that puts UCLA on target for a possible Rose Bowl and a huge game next week down in the Rose Bowl and of course speaking of big matchups and games how about this one tonight Florida State in North Carolina a lot of folks like Carolina because their home of great defense I don't know I like Florida State too much experience in big games dan what about you in that one well I will be watching side-by-side with you tonight Brett on that one because we're gonna see North Carolina next week against Clemson so I think I'm gonna root for North Carolina hey but my friends at Budweiser will take care of the table for us tonight they're in the neighborhood you know send those draft horses on down here folks down to Columbia I appreciate that picking up the tab one way or the other always glad to do it for you my friends here comes the barefoot woman and that is Vince Sabo number 17 bear left foot so he's the second quarter 51 seconds bobby newcombe turn loose now please try to get it out of there and not too good one part of this game that's thinking out that joins the pudding as his two terrible puns from Missouri doesn't matter if it's Jason Smith or Vince Abel 11-yard but that time did a great job of catching the ball but then he absolutely whips on the kick no wonder Larry's been going on for ya really I mean these guys are killing them look at that they get Nebraska gets the ball at the 40 yard line now they have zero timeouts to work with though but they've added a short field again and they've got a great kicker in Chris Brown they're not going to need too many arts to get him a shot at the tie right now next to the shirts Alisha's dangerous that was Kenny Cheatham the intended receiver wait Perkins came up and made sure there was no completion on that play and wait Perkins has played his way into the starting lineup today picked off a pass against Oklahoma State than won against Colorado last week with the pressure here upfront against frost cross really she did throw this ball out of bounds now we got second down to ten we got a shotgun looking for at the 32 and 35 seconds show up on that scoreboard hey you know breath there's absolutely no wind here today and that pass puts Brown right about at his limit he has a 51-yard career long now Missouri doesn't want to give up the home run in this situation either is slaughtered on the short side of the fatal mistake inside the 25-yard line Barry Odom hanging on and 30 seconds with the clock stopped couple of timeouts remaining everything in good shape for Osborne's corn rustles coming down for possible time the 20-yard line clock continues to tick away that kills the vet low throw keeps Cheatham in bounds and they clock now starts keep to keep running 18 seconds stops the clock at 12 seconds so Nebraska with brown ready nine consecutive field goals he has made to tie the Nebraska record so he could break it and boost the Cornhuskers back into a tie here looking to break Dave clients record now to give those kickers some credit though every once in a while you know Dan let me apologize I looked at that scoreboard over there and I its second quarter I said two times because the reason I had to stop it is there's a goose a poke along with the timeouts left for Nebraska so they do not and that's why Scott head dude spiked the ball to stop the clock he has 12 seconds it's going to be third down and six they're looking at a and you know that 25 second clock has been running they're gonna pilot wine the clock there it is they're going to wind it and they're not going to get them on the field no chance characteristic of this for the brand how about all that Osbert in the Cornhuskers will regroup they did not manage time well here and frost not expecting the snap who is looking away to the left then they pile him up on the fumble and of course they had no timeouts remember and when you saw the referee wind the clock that was not enough time to get the field goal team on the field but Zuri 24 Nebraska 21 John Saunders and Todd Blackledge are coming up next on ABC a lot of football left let's take a look at Scott frost he scored twice early on for the Cornhuskers this time over the top but if you want to look for a turnaround watch Chris pick off this pass and that man pounds in my mind was the most important play in the first half because it led to what's coming next this is the play-action pass at another wide open receiver for Missouri look at me a difference in the statistics when you look at the passing yardage for Missouri 183 yards passing from Corby jobs all in the Wiccans and walker back deep with nickman kicking it off to start the second half Larry Smith's biggest decision here at the intermission is to find a punter I would think let Cobi Jones be almost killed is a kick off into the corner now who picks it up at the 5:15 twenty five thirty six outside of the court Walker fits inside here and Larry Smith's going to be happy that Martinus young was his safety number a watched the wedge work here first for Joe Walker makovicka right in the middle there with a key block on a level he runs away from the kicker now watch number eight Martez young they saves a day temporarily for Missouri Scott frost quickly brings the Nebraska offense more than a yard Jack arute rent that return was the kick that Nebraska needed when they went into the locker room get the look of dears when they see a headlight dad insult to injury their assistant coaches that are way up in the press box they were late getting down to this locker room not only that they went to the wrong gate it was luck they were about five minutes late getting into the locker meanwhile Larry Smith he said one thing this game losing is not an option go second down but that's going to put Nebraska here Dan Fouts in third down as we take a look at your first half statistics here well it's it been a game of rushing for Nebraska and passing for Missouri but there's that big turnover led directly to the seven points Missouri Scott crossed and mortgage on was it a great duel here in Columbia Missouri you can see how they compare right now rushing and passing one the runner the other the thrower today and who knew that Corey Jones could develop into that kind of a thrower remember now to Braska recruited core be very hard but his father of course being an assistant coach here and mr. Murray had a bit of the edge but he was a very highly rated high school Jackson switches over the left sighs the that aggressive running stylist and he grabbed my face mask let me have a yellow flag yeah Frost was being tackled there towards Ian but he keeps driving and pulling watch as the contact is made about two yards down the field but his leg drive exactly a facemask grab that's a across the face man the pitch to a minor with a second effort short of the first down to the 21 yard line Nebraska's possessions in the first half they trailed it right away and they had to respond then they took the lead they scored three touchdowns in a row but the interception when they were going back in what would have given them the big advantage in this game that setup stop the clock at hand Tom Osborne they'll be concerned on that force for the first down straight ahead it's very interesting when you put a great team at a great coach like Osborn and Nebraska under fire I always find it interesting how conservative the approach becomes it's not wide-open nothing fancy here doing what they do best use that fullback power toss it to a mine green let the quarterback keep it on the outfit and try to bring it on down the field the three pretty good choices Fred go back to why you're the number one offense in college football that's because you run the ball well who has shown the second nebraska turn going in for a score big is that as Steve Erikson walks away with the football it was a late pitch as you said he just took his eyes off it this is a great bounce for Missouri as Erickson just gets it before his helmet touches the out-of-bounds great hustle here by the Yale man from Texas but it was right in the face of him on grade he said amazing so it's Kirby Joan Octavius McFarland makes the play defensively for Nebraska it was early in it 24:21 Olivo scoring the go-ahead touchdown on a pass and there will tell you the tale the first halftime leader for Nebraska since 88 and they are 15 into the coach Smith at the state troopers from Missouri fellas if this holds up you guys and offset the option the first down Warfield making the stop well Olivo makes the catch that Ahmad green could make on the option this is why this pitch is high watch the pressure right here in his face look like it was chat Kelsey husband Tony Ortiz just saw it seven there he's our 57 or 37 but one of the adjustments the secondary Nebraska to make now is they will play their safeties the way Missouri's been they need six yards most of Kirby's success today is been on roll out to play action that was just a plain old-fashioned drop back pass one against is it possible they have lost their composure in the past protection for Corby Jones absolutely perfect the timing was exquisite because layman hadn't even turned around when that ball was it's that takedown right there I believe by Sweeney yeah a freshman you see it was whistled down and he continued to throw the man to the ground and that possible in that time so it's a learning process for him first down and ten which I meant linesman let's see if they drew them off or if the offense move down in that line you could see two of the white jerseys and Nebraska jump across that time against the Cornhuskers jurors because Nebraska trying to get a little bit of an edge you know they have not played on natural grass since the Orange Bowl last year this is not the best of term it's coming up in clumps the center section between the hash marks been very soggy a lot of rain in fact as you see it's coming up into clumps a helicopter was brought in to try and dry it off they're a much different team Nebraska on natural grass I saw a guy who looked like Larry Smithville a water hose but here's a handoff Missouri he's a big-time college foot fullback he's 6-3 235 pounds he's a senior and Jains are replacing as they continue now to shell the full-backs in and out I cannot say enough Dan Fouts about the coaching job that is going on here at Columbia even for this ball game they had Nebraska very well scouted football team right now Toby Jones let's check in with John Saunders John Graunt you ever surprised where you are there's a surprise in Happy Valley as well just because of how big a lead this is Chris Howard 29 yards for the touchdown and they've opened a 31 to nothing lead has Michigan at Penn State meantime Tennessee and Southern Miss this one all locked up at 13 of peace Brent catch out and I'm sorry to agree with Todd I think I might have to vote for Michigan that's a very impressive win on the road in Happy Valley today a lot of football still to go here I love this corn Husker team but they are under fire right now Dan Fouts from Missouri this is something we did not expect here today no but there are a lot of corn Husker fans out there saying hey wait a minute about this grass stuff didn't we win two national titles on grass down in Miami and at the Fiesta Bowl and Phoenix indeed they did first and then for restarts layman takes the handoff and now keeps it going to sprint and her Justin will win any Brooks was wide open and he didn't hit him earlier in the year Corbett Jones who is completing about 40% of his passes and these people here that are wearing the black and the gold are disappointed now when he doesn't complete a pass did you hear the groan that time when that ball fell incomplete what a turnaround for corby jones Korpi jones to help their coach smith did not even move toward the two punters they need four yards to go Oh shucks and he's backing up like he looks like he's gonna push it on him nobody's back can he drop it down yes he is off the side of his book now inside the ten Missouri's got it down it Nebraska's buried on the finally turns it over to Kirby Joe of a winter that play always you talk about great coaching that was a great example of what Larry Smith means to this football team but by the quarterback five career punch down inside the test dan what went wrong on this well as Corbett Jones drops back here Mike Brown should have gone back deep obviously Jones is going to putt this ball they've had all kinds of problems with the other two guys this goes 35 yards down to the one Scott Frost and the Cornhuskers coming up Tigers jump on it and you can just feel the emotion on that Tiger sideline and in watching their defensive players in particular board and sterling to a Moines Keys linebackers jumping magnificus the point of attack you second down Feroz bar down but you can see the confidence Missouri comes into this game hoping to whet they have changed - expecting a dispute rape economic in the toilet fires car chugging Luca reach back there's the freshman from Albuquerque he fails the rasca 34 - bobby newcombe who was juggling and somehow reach back and grab pins and friends might know where Bobby Newcombe is come from areas right here it's a single receiver round here this time great pass protection after the play fake concentration after he jungle bit three or four times that is amazing watch the hands of Newcombe now again for those of you who don't know this is the quarterback of the future maybe but he does so many things how can they keep him off the field what a great picture that was our director Drew s akov our producer Jimmy Ressler great camera work again here in Columbia 2421 nebraska with the circus catch suck it down they look again well short and they're taking potshots now it's got frost every time he's got the ball gonna cut on the arm a couple of bruises there and this is why a lot of black helmets are hitting number seven now big difference in this play and we saw it the first step is there's a lot of Tigers still on their feet here's third down use the torch to green back in he gave the Missouri defense a little time to come after him with that deep play on third and one but they made it in the end I kept this series alive he's really got a great power and explosion and he seems to really thrive on situations where he needs just a couple of yards because he really gets low and just sells out completely to pick up the first down yards for Allah green and Marriott the nose man 93 is there let's take a look at our lineup next Saturday now it will be Michigan Wisconsin in the big 10 going into badger land North Carolina Clemson Washington UCLA Colorado Kansas State that's pretty good lineup right there how many of those four five six all those numbers at the left side how are those going to change till Keith Jackson we've improved the schedule get better Keith fake gonna throw back 25 cursing who saved the touchdown it's a throwback free to Ahman Green runs gonna come out here green it's gonna go this way perfectly executed by Nebraska Missouri absolutely loses three and he's got a boy out front as here she said today at 13 you are mine they're fullback their fullback pounding down close to the 10 yard line on a first down back effect it looks like he's wishing for the good old days of seven days ago where is that Oklahoma defense when we needed he's gonna touch the bit today three and a half minutes left here at the third takes it again let's back inside at five reaching out for the goal battling for the loose ball let's see where the officials say it is down I never heard a whistle blow Brent mine and neither Scott frost probably would have been a lot wiser he had a first down not to be reaching out like that to the end zone but I think they may whistle but it's down maybe one first and goal for the Huskers you know bread this is at the end of this play with Frost is down clearly down the ball came out when it hit the ground all Nebraska is done is gone 98 yards now Frost has scored twice over hooks it right hand and Scott frost puts it in for the third time today Nebraska regains the lead a struggle for Tom Osborne's Cornhuskers top ranked and favored by four touchdowns here in Columbia Missouri here's the big play Newcomb's juggling catch point added by Chris Brown so the freshman sensation for the Cornhuskers bobby newcombe 6-foot 185 pound a freshman sensation bails him out on this play watch the juggle the concentration and the Huskers are finally on their way for 99 yards but it's a struggle against hwisoon we'll be right back and then this is just pure athletic ability the Cornhuskers come with the great pass frontier but again they failed to cover a receiver from Missouri Ernest Blackwell is the with speed they bring the option and korvac keep Centauri inside at the 17-yard line on 1st down Jay Foreman the son of the Homer Minnesota Viking great Chuck Foreman number four before the middle linebacker for the Huskers makes the South and the one thing that the Cornhuskers have done very well is shut down the run since the first quarter and maybe it's because they get a good play from the other side of defensive line that's Jason Peter and grant Wistrom there that time and it looks like Missouri's trying to run away from them they've not had any success running the ball since second down at seven is up to the wife play fake and Corby rules in that direction a TV desire under Larry Smith it took him four years and a lot of blood sweat and tears what he sees he does he has big strong running backs none and he's stronger than Blackwell as he picks up the first down Nebraska leading Missouri 28 24 they've been training the lead and Missouri drives down to a first and goal at the 10 to the 6-yard line into the heart of the Nebraska defense with Dan Fouts in Jack arute I'm Brent Musburger nice to have you along with us it figures to be a wonderful fourth quarter just a great setting here in Columbia Missouri the program that has come back with three straight wins are at the line right now second down and Corby on the option to keep line and hit hard you can see Foreman is there Rutger who has played a whale of a game at that other defensive end spot for Nebraska coming in from the backside with a minute to go here in the third quarter for Larry Smith who will have a big decision to make so he's gonna go back toons touchdown over-the-top and you're trading shots with the number one team in the country they're going blow for four and Corey Jones is showing most of the country right the country today watch Gorby Jones create something when nothing is there and remember this Nebraska defense had given up only one touchdown in three weeks prior to coming to Mizzou BBC Sports presentation college football is brought to you by genuine and Chevrolet and the cars more Americans trust Burger King where you can get your burgers worth now believe the number one choice of America's top mechanics people who know used families in Circuit City answers in every department low prices all over the store forty-three seconds left in the third quarter and Missouri leaving again 31:28 over the top-ranked Nebraska Cornhuskers been dropping into rocker all game long and he does again left-side return Walker looks for the alley let's take a look at the touchdown play here's Jake's to be Corby expects him to run over here for Suzy goes to this side watch the quarterback come out after the play fake and he's looking all the way to the left side with your great athlete that's all it takes sometimes it's not fraud this is known I got double tight end the hospitals to the 34-yard picks up four yards before Danelle Jones the nose guard brings him in Jack arute I can't say enough about Corby Jones this is one of the most impressive quarterbacking jobs I've seen in a long time and Brett what a change from the game we did at Ohio State remember Corby played with a lot of emotion but after that Andy katzenmoyer hit he was literally emotionally out of the game all this game he's very controlled in terms of emotion Thor's attacking please see me to get a pin he knows he walked over to fix it and the three listen to the crowd Tom Osborne at number one under fire if ABC sports presentation at Nebraska Missouri returns after this message nebraska's last loss in Columbia Missouri back in 1973 for Tom Osborne as he looks across the sidelines there's only one player on the other side it was even alive in Missouri second down and six Donell Jones hanging on Larry Smith and mazu hopes to hang on and add to it what a game they have played here today and coach Smith will become the fourth coach in NCAA history to take four different schools to a bowl Tulane Arizona USC and now Mizzou Earle Bruce bill Mallory and new books a great honor for that man right there and the Boldwood gets Missouri lucky consists of honesty of the country very short keeps it and let us sent you to John Saunders for an update John grunts I'm Peters fifteen play of the day Brian Griese a terrific day at quarterback for Michigan Charles Woodson defensive back wide receiver this time for the touchdown wide open as Woodson is making a charge run the Heisman race especially with Peyton Manning struggling today 34 - nothing Brent my job thank you very much you hear the top-ranked team trails Masud 3128 she is so hard to stop and bring down with that first hit Barry Odom inside linebacker was there on number seven you know Brett we talked about who speculated about Frost's future you know maybe he should put on 20 pounds and play fullback in the NFL I mean that's not a quarterback running over linebackers in defensive lineman that's a fullback second down and six for flaws he barges for the first out and crosses midfield and Nebraska can play over the short field Odom again Nebraska's been hurt by a couple of turnovers here today an interception and a fumble on both occasions they could have been driving you don't know what's gonna happen obviously after a certain but there were two big keys in this game one of the first half had one in the second now again frost in the huskers on the drive Missouri signed a bowl of marinas stuck by Easter the strong safety from Houston Texas number one this has been a wonderful wonderful college football game and you can see how Frost and Jones have traded moments in this game it's been the throwing of Corbie Jones and the running of Scott frost frost is over a hundred yards rushing seconded six tracks design presses the box expected me out guts for the first down still so hard with that second effort while reminder now what's the primetime c16 total security in the practice that's our lineup tonight starting at 8:00 Eastern Time now tomorrow night wonderful world of Disney doing a marvelous job glad to see so many folks enjoying that angels in the end zone and then I'm gonna tell you folks into thin air the story covers that's all the great books that I've read in a long time that that movie is nearly as good at Crossroads planning he was held he snuck right down the middle of the Missouri defense and was behind the deepest defender but his pleas to the judge a judgment a fall on deaf ears on second down they hope to catch him unawares and pop one with greed and now mo inky the defensive coordinator you must come up with the call here because here it is third and eight the Sterling's a linebacker who made the play in the hole the shirt size across Gibson you Keis Gibson the undersized defensive end the junior from Florida making the play and none bigger defensively for Mizzou in this game very conservative play selection for Tom Osborne but he notices in his bag of tricks he's got a great kicker this option doesn't fool anybody of Blackshirts right trying to run the option to the short side of the field marquise Gibson with a big play now for the record the consecutive spring alone great leg Nebraska record for consecutive field goals ten straight real goals for Chris Brown so with 10:50 to go Missouri and the fresca are tied ever by more than four touchdowns Nebraska tied with Missouri right now at 31 after a field goal by Chris Brown his tenth enroll now yep kick it off well we have chance to ask for B Jones what turned it around for this Missouri program this year and here's what he had to say everybody just started making plays I think one game I came in and and talked to the white out sat down with at that point mice to certain white house for J merge sanatory Coleman and I said I said make the tough one today said make the big one um maybe I'm not gonna throw everyone right there and if I throw one that's that's good and you drop it all right just make up for it by making a big one later looking for a big one now tied at 31 Oliva back in it running back James is the fullback Ricky Ross one of the wide outs takes it back gonna get hit as he releases into the middle double team a collision at the 30-yard line but hit on the release great job by Nebraska secondary eric worre field came anova came over from the weak safety position but chat kelsey really gets good pressure on the quarterback this time Corby shouldn't have thrown this one this is in the double coverage sweetie hasn't covered by himself and Sweeney should have made the interception but I think Warfield distract freshman number 16 where he runs the option to the corner he's going to keep it crosses midfield so the pitch man was taken by the outside bush man as soon as the outside bush man went up field seize the corner and ran 34 yard great recognition by number seven anytime you read the option play you're going to have to get some great blocks at any time you bust a big one like that one can't blame a number 84 is going to get the key block to that big play by two the layman is number 84 is to the rights left side of the screen they take the pitchman away and then Warfield gets pinned inside by laymen and then watching the end of this play sometimes it's better to be lucky than good Barbie Jones is good at lucky today he bubbles that ball but the ball bounced right back onto his chest no time to be satisfied they're back to second and five is to shine the canisters minutes to go and Reagan all by Kobe as you check the defense across the front muster come over and make absolutely certain with this coaches will take a break he'll go right back sports presentation of college football is brought to you by Jeep makers of the Jeep Grand Cherokee Cherokee and Wrangler The Home Depot America's home improvement coach visa it is everywhere you want to be and State Farm Insurance like a good neighbor State Farm is there 927 to go in regulation it is second and five coming up for Missouri we cannot say enough about the performance of the offensive line Travis people tackles today and mr. wick to second down they face still of the is going to change it up in the back so now to make sure he hurt the claw runs the option in a pile third down and coming up for Missouri Jack arute Brent this is the tenth consecutive game that bet that the Missouri Tigers have played that no five week they started and they're going straight through with the Baylor game next week now because the athleticism of Nebraska the coaching staff decided that what they needed to do this week was cut back on their practice how did they do it you know the five or ten-minute drills that you go through will they just shade the minute off here and then it off there they said we want these guys to be ready and fresh in the fourth quarter third and six right now Jones is in trouble steps away from Attorney Utley sprits now on the right with the speed on his own another big play for Mizzou the pressure from Jack Kelsey number 57 here coming tennis and we seen this today we're in Nebraska defensive linemen can't bring down Gorby Jones and now watch him run away from Eric Warfield rather and Eric Johnson that time to pick up the first down showing the strength to pull away from defensive linemen and the speed the run away from at the hospital's 35 because he is picked up but no 46 whispering out of the state of Missouri when the first recruits and Larry Smith lost in a very fine as a senior fans finally he steps up and makes a huge play trot Jake misses the block on chaos westrom and he's gonna make sure the quarterback goes down grabs him with his left hand and plumps them with us riding when you take an artificial turf team and move them to grass frequently to a spot and he pains back to the 40-yard line Joe Walker back uphill over back making the stop was 7:30 to go at 10-yard SEC by Wistrom though really seemed to take a lot of the life out of this crowd and really as of wondering what type of magic Corby Jones can come up with them well he'll eat magic for 15 yards here Dan they reached the 25-yard line to keep this drive going the short side receiver is going to be worse picked up deflected and picked up intercepted on the side by Nebraska at the 22 yard line shown Walker intercepts for the Huskers be deflected Nebraska 780 yards away the number one team in the country the southern and a half minutes regulation in Columbia Missouri class Marcus Gibson among those hitting him at the 22 gracias efforts as where does that guy from which side marquise grissom put the pressure on cross putting this turning back check out right here that play by Mike Rucker forces the ball wide of the receiver right into the hands of Joel Walker second and nine and bobby newcombe they're sensational Frenchmen let's come down to the short side of the field she's gonna throw back to the right comes back to the middle deflected intercepted Missourians got it at the 35-yard got a chance Jerald pearcy the safety who's gonna lose all day gives Mizzou a shot at the 30 right here right there kind of food off his back foot cauldron off Easter came over knocked the ball of the air from number one to number two Missouri is back in business he's in front of broccoli ball 30 yards away from taking the lead velasca in the fourth quarter perhaps four and Jason Peter 55 out of locus New Jersey hanging on really important now for Missouri to take care of the football they're already in field goal range and a field goal would give them the lead obviously they want to take time off the clock keep the ball on the ground let that big offensive line work as they've been working all day long and they said that offensive tackle Chris Meredith wearing number 99 in the lineup they give them both right long chains also and it's the jumbo Jimbo's t3 online at 46 left here in regulation that Chris Meredith has been their backup offensive tackle their utility Lyman can play the left side of the right side but recently during this winning streak of Missouri they've had big number 99 playing a lot of tide in he's a great clock seconds ticking away a bit too much great effort that was his way for a first down close to the 15-yard for a week ago took a video because he said he wanted to record the great story that was going on with this football team they went in and torched the third straight victory he's a great overachiever he doesn't need a great burst of speed he just somehow gets it done and he got it done behind big number 99 Chris Meredith who just crushed the defensive end on that side I leave already at the tailback spot on a fake 38:31 I've been here before we'll be myself Judgment Day and number one up for grabs the Cornhuskers came in here ranked number one but their ranking is in serious jeopardy Missouri with the lead and four and a half minutes to go this team from Columbia Missouri they were the Cinderella's of this season they won three in a row Shevin Wiggins was finally kept Nebraska field position three wins and road grant parole upsets I think they're ready for another one Nebraska has came back miracles and down the sideline and he is out of bounds let's take you back to 1975 Nebraska was leaving Missouri 10-7 watch this play watch the up back on the punt folks keep an eye on him he fakes snap Edith it's not a reverse he keeps it the Bombers key and Tony Davis spritz in and Nebraska wins it 30 to 7 now they're gonna need another miracle let's go and back and find out how this man gets so wide open after the play fake Gorby Jones is going to roll out and it's a big play at the bottom of the screen Eric Warfield is picked up by the wide receiver the officials miss it but Kirby Jones doesn't miss it Nebraska inside incomplete pass on that shuffled forward I know the difference between an interception an incompletion and a bubble Ken and this looks like the option play but it's inverted it's a shuffle pass and the guy doesn't catch it as the laundry takes the size of it it's just an incomplete tray number 251 cross would they dare do something again good thing we just showed that up ruski they had better field position that time this great team defense by Missouri a lot of black shirts run into the ball and right the middle of their defensive coach Ricky ugly jesse cush sometimes the full-back makovicka when he's in is the Outback mackovic as the Outback for Nebraska Tom and the coaches say the defense can get it back for them Ross Fields at the nineteen and get me down at the 22 when you come back we'll have three to play nebraska 3831 and Penn & Teller is a separate as we can see there in the background what we've got coming up your way now Davis love at the Lincoln mercury Kapalua International there at the line of scrimmage on first down for V Jones so reminder that on Monday night Penn & Teller's home-invasion magic is coming up and then it is Monday Night Football the 49ers and the Eagles second down and eight here with Missouri trying to close out one of the wonderful stories of the year in college football Ernest Blackwell and Devin West he backs like well Pixies way just short Johnson making a stop turn abrasca and Brett you won't believe this but the sprinklers at the right end of the end of this football field have just turned on this is unbelievable this is a Missouri endzone where they're driving and there's seven or eight spring clips in there crawlin well they've had five downs here and that's actually their way of keeping the fans from tearing down the goalposts a little premature though I think I told you that Coach Smith one of the slow field here slow it so that's for sure I don't think I've ever seen that Apple welcome to college football right 2:43 on the clock sprinklers already celebrating and now they pointed down on a penalty flag a substitution against Missouri for every 12 Smith doesn't like it at all but you think that they call that is a huge call that is third down and short and now it becomes third and six I don't you can't blame the coach of this situation but the official was right there looking at it oh what a difference in Amman green it gets one more chance well you're right Brett third and inches and Missouri's been able to convert that situation James and for being on the option keeps it cuts praying for that part two minutes to go you're the wizard it's already past four to win this ballgame turts it up inside keep this balance there that just overpowers the core announcer first I'll Mizzou that Nebraska defense and Jason Peter number 55 brings him down at a time out it's going to be called by the rest yeah that's their first of the second half so they'll have two remaining if they get the ball back right now they haven't shown any ability to of stopping number seven we'll take a break and come right back win over Nebraska and the last wind by bazoo here was 1973 second down misery his West picking his way the first down leave them about third and three wilts making the stop for the Blackshirts so the pressure is on coach McBride in the defense right now to make a play and give the offense and the quarterback Scott cross a chance to do some magic here with only 120 to go time is running out these first downs I cannot stress how important they are the punting game had been atrocious in the first half for Missouri for beat Jones with a beautiful pooch punt in this half for Missouri and now the first downs are taking the kicking team off the hook and Osborne wants to bring the defense over as third and three is coming up for Corby Jones and Missouri the one thing I was bored and Charlie McBride should be talking to their defense about is hey number seven he's the quarterback his name is Corby Jones he's have got about 300 yards in total offense today let's think about trying to stop this guy and it's not going to be just one guy that can stop them Jones has shown the ability run away from people to pull through tackles and watch for him on some type of option play on this third down so clearly now the voters will throw number one up in the air regardless of what happens Michigan has made a big statement in Happy Valley today is still to come tonight the Florida State and North Carolina in Chapel Hill it was indeed Judgment Day third down Judgment Day for the Nebraska defense they must make a stop here where he brings the countdown brings o'clock inside just like an NFL bedroom brings it on the option got to be short of that first down there was a timeout left for Nebraska then they use it right now with 113 to go and coach Smith must decide on which of the punters will he use I know which one I would use I would use this kid right here put him back in normal punt formation and let him kick it you know he's going to make the play will come back just to check in on some programming coming your way Sunday on ABC Missouri most points this year against the Nebraska defense and a chance now just 113 away from the big upset Osbourne and the Huskers reeling right now facing a fourth down and Jason Smith gets the quick snap there's their custom feel that by Newcombe here he comes thirty and hit at the 33-yard line so they do not let him break the big play that time and Scott frost and Nebraska will have a minute to to work no timeouts at the 33-yard line the light uses the side with 55 seconds to go Kenny cheetah great throw by frost on the run but the question is was cheetah bit boughs yes what's hard at 11 when he's incomplete frequently as Nebraska fans know he will be low he won't bounce the bill so now 51 seconds to go second and 10 Larry Smith a Missouri hoping to close out a monumental upset bucket top ranked Nebraska Tom Osborne in the Huskers trying to force a tie and over second down and ten there's Frost the quarterback to the shotgun deflected incomplete and it is third Seavers is right there yep Steve Eriksson bread number 94 got up and blocked that ball and it was almost intercepted by Al sterling watch 94 here quit on his pass rush watch sterling well that's real close to being he was looking land Nebraska first down what will stop at the 28 is Matt Davison the 6-1 freshman comes up with the big play for the Cornhuskers with 39 seconds to go they are dead everybody sit down Lincoln Scott rules do I fires again at the 20-yard line complete that love Rome and have the ability to get out of bounds and again machine of working the right side and they stopped the clock by spiking the ball with 21 seconds to go Phil go help him they must score and then kick an extra point to force this game into overtime Mizzou and Larry Smith have been there before double overtime against Oklahoma State a win in Stillwater a couple of weeks ago and now try to hang on nebraska 20 yards away your third down and two is coming up Davison and Lance Brown are off to the left for us once Cheatham got in out of our house no they're gonna keep it wrong why me but it is a first down remember so the clock will stop with 14 seconds and a first down for the Cornhuskers that was a real good throw by Scott frost that receiver caught that ball in self-defense Scott frost with first down and he will stop it check with the coaches 14 seconds and 12 yards away well Dan you have been in a situation like this so many times before is the quarterback teams trying to scramble him and get a big touchdown in the game what must a quarterback remind himself of right now well that you have more time than you really think I mean each play takes 4 5 maybe 6 seconds and that the key here is not rushed your own mechanics just be cool do what you do in practice all the time and throw the ball as you normally would a lot of quarterbacks here will tighten up they might even panic a little bit here because they feel that they they have to rush things second down the shotgun the white side bins own babble at the two yardline and completely Davison saying he was interfering with by shant Chris he's the best defensive back at Missouri and he did the job on the near side by talking about confidence at quarterback hazard a true freshman receiver and I think Davidson has a beeps there Chad Chris was all over his back there was contact cross to the middle Davidson deflection the game the deflection is caught the fans have broken into the end they expected the game to be over but a touchdown with signal corn in zone they'll clear the field and cap for the time we could be headed over time turn the sprinklers out of that this is an incredible play looking over the entire field violates these company he likes the most important extra point of the season for Nebraska leads the good Sam and we go to overtime Sandi's Nebraska into the first number is able to make a miracle catch second deflection of what appeared to be a foot in hands Oh bull kicked back up in the air by seven Wiggins and Davison dashes in underneath it and by just the march of the shoelace Nebraska has we'll quickly go over the rules of overtime to the college game this is not sudden-death they'll get equal possession from the 25-yard line and we'll repeat it until the tie is broken remember this year they must go for the two-point conversion starting in the third overtime that doesn't mean they can't go forward in the first two Oklahoma State for example gambled against Missouri and lost and several other coaches have gambled this year and lost two so the coin toss talking to Larry spent us here those teams have win the toss this heads tails my profit without again the basketballs heads is tails barely Rock kalibo didn't want to breast fight enough but juicy and clearly teams in the college game have decided a long time ago that you want the other team if you win the flip to go first you want to know what you've got a match and that's why they make this decision this is a matchless play the touchdown as frost is going over the middle to Shevin Wiggins Julian Jones makes a play on the ball but Wiggins makes the play with his feet as he kicks it over his head - Davison who clearly had his left hand under the ball for the touchdown this is an incredible heads-up play by Wiggins as the ball is just floating there and Kenny boots it backwards to his buddy we'll take a break and and we'll come back with our first overtime Nebraska will have the ball 25 yards away for the endzone the 15-yard line so our officials jumped the gun on us just a little bit but thankfully you were able to pick up on the end of that play as a Mon dream was run out on the far side and he is just short of a first time having been first down here over time and they would with another yard this is second down a one first overtime first possession scores tied at 38 for the first down to the 12 yard line so it will be first now I'm coming up here fresh set of downs for Nebraska so if we had enough excitement in this one water great great college football game this wound up keep that Athena shoot contract after that was pissed chicken Ethan so first down and ten Ross Perot's the they're in number Missouri gets a chance to respond it's not Sunday about four touchdowns on the ground today and tonight for Scott Cross remember the one day dopinder there is a game for 15 yards out similar types of effort here as he sees the cone and goes right by the tiger to the score the point and now Missouri needs seven second trailing at 45 sevens kind of the magic number today Murphy John 4:7 Scott Ross we're seven and Larry Smith he likes this record of his Tigers the last couple of years with the overtime in fact he told this ballclub this week we play the entire game like we play overtime ready to go from the 25 take a running play and in trouble Sprint's back on a wild man chains incomplete it'll be second down and ten so there's a play they certainly saved for overtime send the big bus here in Missouri but there were no wide open receivers that time as Nebraska just rushed four men dropped seven into the secondary and believing Ron James is never going to be your primary receiver only has two catches on the year could quite make the adjustment on that pass second down into is a big third down coming up chat Kelsey makes a stop defensively don't you think chat kills is a little bit upset today with the way that there's no way that Corp is going to get away from number 57 that time maybe seven year from the option throws back for just an instant from snooping and both down is coming up but you know Brett why did they just run the ball on that third down and seven instead of throw the ball you have two down the first down they would have to kick Osbert in the Cornhuskers under pressure it's over Nebraska wins it in overtime a miracle finish oscar's stay unbeaten and from Missouri Betty Tigers it was a great college football game garlis of losing this one the Missouri Tigers have grown up day our Chevrolet players of the game come on creeper vasca Korpi Jones students for their academic achievements though some financial names Oh a century in overtime Alaska after tying the game on a miracle catch in the end zone beats Missouri 45:38 Judgment Day Nebraska takes the victory but they needed a little bit of luck to get there so long everybody
