The dude played hard no doubt. He was a terrible passer - terrible. You won't see those highlights, but the team could have gone a long ways farther if he could have made a 10 yard pass with consistency.
He was a terrible passer, but an incredible runner. I remember a near upset of UT. He had an amazing game, then lost it for us on an interception at the end.
You're statement is so accurate. I was at a game sitting on the westside under the pressbox with a ton of old people surrounding me watching him play. There was a play he rolled out with Dahrrahn Diedrick out in front blocking the linebacker on a run/pass option. Diedrick peeled off the LB and took off down the field with NOBODY within thirty yards of him. The LB ran at Lord who threw a beautiful pass to a very wide open Diedrick for an easy sixty yard TD. Strike that. Lord threw a beautiful spiral ten yards past a wide open Diedrick for a very incomplete pass landing on a very green side of the field. It was baffling. He could have easily completed a fall away sky hook pass that would have gone minimum forty yards. I went insane and all the blue hairs all spun around and looked at me like I was some *******.
First game I attended as a kid. Will always remember, it was cold night and DeJuan Groce got us into chip shot game tying fg position on a punt return. Pretty sure it was the following play Nathan Vasher intercepted Lord in the Northeast corner of the end zone. I remember how sick I was seeing the Texas flag waving at midfield and the stupid Texas fight song playing non stop as we filed out of the stadium.
I always liked Jamal.. rooted for him, but he was not a good passer, but we didn't really need him to be either. We were a running team that threw less than 10 passes a game. I always thought people were too hard on him, he gave everything he had to the program. He was an absolute beast running the ball. That is a great video I watch from time to time. Thanks for posting it!
Watching those replays reminds me of what Nebraska was all about under Osborne. Power and big plays, oh how I long for 30-40-50 yard plays that are well designed , plays that get the defense over pursuing and/or out of position .
I was there that night as well! The stadium was ELECTRIC! I think even set a BD record for noise that night??? and yes... the sickness that overcame from that Interception was a horrible feeling... the electricity that was there left like a lightning bolt after that!
Wow our offensive line kinda sucked. J-Lo made a lot out of nothing. Wish we’d just run this offense. Would probably lead to a couple more wins per season.
