1978 NCAA Football Oklahoma at Nebraska 

Not going to lie - I watch these as much to hear Keith Jackson announce again as much as anything. Best announcer of all time.

When Nebraska and Oklahoma were always in the top 5 and played each other every year, the day after Thanksgiving life was good.

I was 11 years old and I loved my Sooners. So many legends in this game. I nearly cried after the loss but loved the revenge game. Like many on here, I sure miss this game & hate that both schools are in different conferences. See you Huskers in a couple years.

Great memories! Loved the Nebraska - Oklahoma rivalry!!!

My father took me to this game. It was a present for my 8th birthday.

This game was a classic! Oklahoma and Nebraska met again later that season in the Orange Bowl! I miss this Oklahoma vs. Nebraska rivalry!

I was a kid when this game was played. I grew up in Florida, as an NFL fan, but when OU Nebraska came on, around Thanksgiving, you can bet your ass everyone in my neighborhood was glued to the TV. What a treat to be able to see this game again!!!! Thank you!!!!!! And I can add to favorites the 79, 80 and 81 games and watch them next.

I miss Nebraska being good.

lots of hard hits in this game, didn't see the players go down on the ground for a broken toenail like today.

I WAS 15 ON THIS classic DAY !! I loved OU as a kid ?!1 What a GREAT wishbone O they had ! All 4 were OUTSTANDING !! The QB Lott and those 3 backs, WOW !! This was a beautiful time to be young growing up in the bay area !

A classic rivalry that is no more, sadly. 2 Georgia boys, Frank and Keith doing commentary. Days gone by.

KETV re-aired this in 2006. Ironically, this original broadcast copy is in better shape than my tape.

Tears for the memories.....

A great game in one of college football's classic (alas, no more) rivalries. Thanks for posting!

This game made me a Nebraska fan.

Tom Osborne, one of the best classiest coaches that’ll ever be. Appreciated all of the games between Sooners & CornHuskers. Those games were a hard hitting gentlemen’s games; respectful. Nothing shameful about losing a game against NU every now and then. Come back home Nebraska. Boomer Sooner!

David Overstreet (RIP) was a high school teammate of Lovie Smith.

1:46 "It's cold enough to make a brass monkey clank, I'll tell you that."

I was at this game as a Nebraska student. Best game I've ever seen in person.

Great memories of carefree days and great good hitting college (& pro) football. For those of my high school classmates who went to college, they would have been seniors that year. And who better to call this game than the great Keith Jackson. A week later the Cornhuskers would be stunned by Missouri and the Sooners got their revenge against Nebraska in the Orange Bowl on Jan 1st. Billy Sims went on to a brilliant career with the Detroit Lions until a knee injury in 1984 ended his playing days.. A crushing and sad end.

Great game! Thanks for posting and a great job editing. Much appreciated!

Tom Osborne almost lost his job because of the Huskers' futility vs OU then. This was one of the biggest wins in N.U. history for a short time (about a week). I actually liked watching OU's Wishbone offense, unless they were playing N.U. They did with the running games then what the passing offenses of today do now. Vastly different era of Football...

1978 Oklahoma Sooners...best team of any level I have ever seen. Bring back Nebraska to the Big 12, we miss them.

Back then no long drawn-out seemingly 5 hour pre-game, Once aired as scheduled, the kickoff starts without further ado, no now-distracting excessive graphics of score updates of sports all around nor pop ups on the screen. No honey shots of the college gals in the stands. I can go on and on...

At 9:52 I.M. Hipp -- I had forgotten all about him! That's a name you shouldn't forget, but I guess he didn't do much in football after college.

Nebraska middle guard Kerry Weinmaster 6’0 220 lbs. not ideal for the position but he was quick , strong and a terrific tackler.

Nebraska was awesome!

The next day, this game was the star attraction on "The NFL Today" and Brent Musburger.

2:12 - one of the most vicious hits I've ever seen...

OU 1978 one of the best teams to not win a NT. Both these teams were loaded with talent.

This is the game Barry Switzer would like to forget. But the thing he seems to overlook is that on New Year's Day 79, the 2 teams met again in the Orange Bowl and Switzer got payback for this loss.

Combined, the two teams had nine All-American players on the field that day.

I.M. Hipp, a great name

Remembered the 69-17 shellacking Nebraska gave Indiana that season. Now they're Big 10 conference rivals and such a mismatch is far from certain.

Keith there go the goal post! My guess to O street.. Brass Rail or the SideTrack

That fumble by Nebraska that got called down was the biggest sham of this game. Very easily could tell it was a fumble and modern replay would've won Sooners this game lol.

One of the great games of this series. Oklahoma fumbled the ball nine times and lost by 3 points. These two teams played each other again just six weeks later in the Orange Bowl, with OU coming out on top.

This was a great rivalry that they had to ruin by moving the teams in the different conferences

The greatest game ever played at Memorial Stadium.

Virgil, can you find this for me 1982 Oklahoma Sooners vs Arizona State

I will never forget that ridiculous model of facemask that Lott wore, it was common until about 1974 but then almost all our players went to newer style facemasks. OU tickets back in the 70s had a side profile of the OU helmet with that same facemask.

As Herb Brooks would say, "if we played them ten times, they might win nine, but not this game, not tonight. Tonight, we play with them, tonight, we stay with them and shut them down because we can." That best described the effort by Nebraska against one helluva football team in OU.

I miss old school college football. The BCS and Super conferences ruined it.

Commentators: Keith Jackson, Frank Broyles &

I was 19 years old when this game was played. When Jeff Hansen made that hit on Billy S. I leaped out of my chair and hit my head on the ceiling. It was great to get that win over OU.

Did Frank Broles say that passing coach's tend to want to deflate the balls a little bit lol... So it's not just Tom Brady lol, He just got caught.

My huskers!!!

I had completely forgotten about the barefoot kickers back then.

Wish Bone! where did thou go?

Oh god, I think that's Larry King of the Lincoln Savings and Load scandal singing the national anthem...

They are going to call him dead at the 18 yd. line.

2:12:10 one of the worst calls I've seen. Wasn't even close. Score could have been 24-14.

There went the NC that day.

they knocked that returner OUT....and they called him down. sheesh..... Simms should have never had the chance to fumble. Course since the Orange bowl officials were assholes... Ne had to play Ou again on New Years... they still beat the point spread on that game though...!

12:09 the man who was elected Governor of Nebraska in 2022.

It was just so unfair to neb to have to play okla twice in that year, i dont know what the record is ,but i would guess the team that won the 1st game, lost the 2nd game, revenge is a great motovater

lol ha!!! my doctor played for nebraska

How was that fumble recovery by Oklahoma not a touchdown in the 1st quarter?

@1:48:25 WHAT A SUPER RUN by Sims !

Linebacker Jeff Hansen …..

miss frank and keith G-d Bless

Think a few times oklahoma was playing 12 men.. maybe nebraska did to at times..

Why do you tear down your own goalposts ?

"Play against ourselves" silliest statement I ever heard". Now I see why he's just a coach!

How bad was Frank Broyles as an analyst?

2:34:36 - Party time!

If it hadn't been for the turnovers the Sooners might have won the game. Still it was a great game.

Ahhhh...I didn’t Rick Berns said that‼️😳😂🤣😂👴🏿 Yep y’all beat us but Boomer Sooner the same! But I was disappointed that you guys lost to Mizzou the following week. Boomer Sooner.

Thomas Lott had a miserable game.

Keith Jackson Vin Scully dick enberg Charlie Jones doesn't get much better than that

Can someone give me #48 for Nebraska's name and current address? I'd like to send him a bouquet for knocking that ball out of Billy Sim's arms at end of game. Helped Alabama get a chance to play #1 Penn State in New Orleans, which with a 14-7 win gave us Natty #10. Had OU won we'd have been playing a consolation bowl game.

Speaking as a Nebraska fan thank god football isn't like this anymore. Shit looks goofy as hell.
