Brad Nessler is very good but he is at best a distant second to the late great Keith Jackson. GBR!!!

@@mlang28 lol, I would bet you were younger when you listened to Jackson. Seriously, I bet most remember things being better when they were younger and in Neb's case, they were. so the days of Keith calling a neb game where Neb came in ranked high vs Nessler calling a Neb game that rarely mattered. Which one are you gonna remember in a more favorable light ?

I'm betting you knew WV graduated 28 seniors, but you subjected her to near 100 degree heat for 3+ hrs. You're just a swell guy.

Man I miss Kickoff classic to start college football season. Good times
WVU’s highlight of the game was Todd Sauerbrun’s 90-yard punt.

@@patrickgilmore9517 According to Ron Brown, the Broncos had shown an interest in Brooke, and almost certainly would have drafted him. Such a sad story, there.
I was there my daughter's cheer squad from Lincoln Northeast High School participated in the halftime show with another squad from Nebraska and two from WV. Had seats in the endzone.
Darin Ernstad, good baseball star, won a World Series ring with the Angels back in 2002.
I always loved the Nebraska fullbacks. We called Cory "Cory Schlesinger, the Man with No Neck."
Remember this game like yesterday Hoboken high school we had great seats and won the state championship that year on the same field by the way I'm a Frazier also 👍
This is an interesting team. 1994 Nebraska brought Tom's first title, but I don't know how good the team was at the start of the year. And when they started to peak defensively in October, they were playing backup QBs (admittedly Berringer had some great moments). I actually think that the 93 and 94 Huskers were still getting used to what it took to be great), but managed to win a title in the process anyway. I think Nebraska was probably a better team in 82, 83, 84, and 87, but this team found a way to close the deal for Tom first

@@roselengyel2258 maybe better, but not per analytics. But you're right, we don't know how good they could have been because of the injury to Tommie. Nebraska was far better I think 95-97
phenomenal content bmboldt. I smashed that thumbs up on your video. Keep on up the really good work.
This WVU punter is a menace
Be awesome to have more of these Kickoff Classics. Use the NFL stadiums for these games
I love the play where Frazier throws a pass to a receiver, then you see him blocking for the receiver down the field.

absolutely... that was a special era in college ball... seriously.. Frazier was good... I also really enjoyed watching Jemelle Hilieway and Turner Gill matchups too...
Is it safe to say there will never be another kickoff classic in NJ to start the season?
I was there. Good game. Good memories.
This game is the answer to Nebraska getting back to National prominence. Attack defense with speed, and more speed. Scrap the 3-4 and all of that "defend your slots" and turn their ears back. Cmon!

Best team of all time any sport.

Someone neglected to tell the WV offense there was a game.
If Tom Osbourne had not retired in 1997 ! He probably would have had the most wins by a large margin ! Paterno and Bowden probably would be no where close! Nebraska probably wins the national title in 2001 and does not get smoked by colorado !
Sauerbrun had a Howitzer for a leg
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Imagine how ugly this game would have been if Nebraska's offensive played better. 31-0 is good enough but this should have been at least 52-0
Certain years WVU could have gave TO's Nebraska teams a close battle but 94 was an average WVU team !

Which do you think are the best WVU teams ever? I am partial to 07 of course, like most. 2009 was a pretty dang good team too. Wasn't there a team in the 80s that whipped Pitt and PSU?
1 week later West Virginia would show the world just how good Neb was, beating Ball State 16-14..... LOL, gimme a FING break...at home. This game was one of the ridiculously overrated wins during Neb's 60-3 Skip Along.
