I watched this game as a 20 year old in college at a state school in Missouri with a couple of guys from Omaha in our dorm. Great defensive game! Turner Gill's baptism by fire.
Keith Jackson was pulling double duty during this week. On Tuesday and Wednesday he had been in New York calling the World Series. ABC then had him on his primary assignment which was College Football on Saturday. Then the following Tuesday(even though the game was postponed) he was back in New York calling Game 6 of the World Series. Al Michaels called the weekend games in Los Angeles for the World Series. ABC also had those two split the 1979 World Series with the same split.
At around 14:30 into the video, they showed Husker RB Roger Craig running against Gators. Well the game announcer commented about RC’s “strong powerful thighs”. I cringed and laughed so hard because it reminded me of the famous “Jimmy the Greek” announcer that earlier years he used similar comment about a AA athlete but was terminated. 👴🏿 Jimmy was one a kind sports announcer; good dude that was done dirty.
Nah, Jimmy's comments were stupid and inaccurate. Sir Francis Galton had already proven how selective breeding doesn't do anything, and things tend to regress to the mean.
Brings back memories. I attended Mizzou in 81. Can you imagine if Mizzou had actually beaten Nebraska AND Oklahoma in that particular season ? If they had they would not of lost to Kansas later.
Meanwhile, the rest of the country was pissed that ABC chose to air this game. I swear the life of me I don't remember Missouri being anybody in the early 80s, well, for that matter, ever.
@@robjohnson8861This was a regional game. ABC also had Minnesota Iowa and two lower division games that day all at 12:30 ET so they could televise game 4 of the World Series at 4:00 ET

actually they played FSU on that day and lost.
Warren Powers knew us. Not surprising Missouri made it super difficult.
Thanks for posting this game. Quite an enigmatic contest, and an important one for Big Red.
It's too bad that Mizzou didn't have lights at the stadium.
This was the only away NU game I ever saw.
Sammy Sims is my cousin and passed away a few weeks ago
He was a very good player for the Cornhuskers. He always seemed to be around the ball. I'm sorry to hear of his passing.
He was a good Nebraska player sorry for your loss
I love the idea that 41° is cold. 😂🤣
How the hell does Missouri almost beat Nebraska and did beat Oklahoma in the same year but also lost to Kansas and Oklahoma State
Missouri's defense was brutal.
Unusual low scoring game for Nebraska ( only 6 points total) at the time against a mediocre team at best!
The same Missouri team beat Oklahoma that year
Warren Powers knew Osborne's tendencies. You know, because he was an assistant at Nebraska for years. . .
God, Keith called some nothing games (which was most of the Michigan games).
And the comment you made comes from a nothing, never did anything loser named rob 30 IQ johnson. Hilarious.
@@GeorgeFlippin Never a stat in all of your troll. You be stupid when it comes to the game, huh?
Rob dicksucker, you mean like all if the loser stats that you put out that mean nothing other than you’re an idiot?

Sure, ok. They were ranked 3 out of the 12 games they played. Finished in the bottom half of the conference. Sure, ok.
How did the hell did y'all let Kansas beat you guys after almost beating Nebraska and beating Oklahoma in the same year that's just crazy 🤣🤣
That Missouri education in action: "would not of" 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Nebraska's kicker sucked in that game.
I was going to cut him some slack for the wind on one end of the field but YIKES. Terrible even with it.
Lyle Bremmer's call of the game winning score on the radio "Touchdoooowwwwnnnnn!"
An old fashioned knock down, drag out fight. Could have went either way.

@@johnbarkley7043what? Marcus Allen was a QB for Missouri in 81? Who knew?
@@robjohnson8861 No, the rest of the country loved this game, 30 IQ rob "dipshit" johnson.
