Yep, Stuntz is correct. Pretty easy question for us old school types. When the play was happening live, I jumped off the couch and yelled, "throw it to Crouch"! Great play.
Good job.
I think it was Jason White who fell on his face running the play to the right. Our play featured Thunder Collins taking the hand off and flipping it to Stuntz. I don't remember who the radio guy calling it was but he famously blurted out something like "He has a man downfield.....crickets...more crickets...dead air....inaudible orgasmic screaming ten yards after Crouch caught it....He's got Eric Crouch!" as Crouch was running away from that Oklahoma d-lineman. Yeah I remember that play pretty good.
Yes, it was Collins.
And I think the center was John Garrison, so that too would be a correct answer.
The last time I saw Thunder Collins he was at the Douglas County court house in Omaha shouting out, " I ain't no snitch". True story. Saw it on the local news. Messed up crap let me tell you. Sad actually.
I remember that play well, and the announcers talking about how smart Solich was we had an old high school QB throw our ball and OU didn't and that's why ours worked.
Ugghh, Warren Swain was so bad that he made Fiala sound good. Who needs down and distance when you're listening to a football game???
Yep. And why was that play ran to NU's left? Because Stuntz was/is left-handed. I think that was the last time a lefty threw a TD pass in a Husker game.
Here is the radio call. I described it from memory and was pretty close when I saw this on Youtube. Also the Okie QB was Josh Huibel not Jason White. Also cool is young Jamie Burrow making a sack at the end of this video.
