Yeah, the didn't throw a pass in the 2nd half game was 2003, not 2005. When I was searching for this play, I thought it was in that game too.Hamlett’s run was in the game where Baz was broken and couldn’t pass and wasn’t get any food anyway and NU beat the crap out of Illinois to qualify for a bowl anyway. Am I misremembering? (I think I am. I think the ‘didn’t throw a pass’ game was earlier.)

I was at that game. I don’t think I was ever more excited than during the third quarter when our defense held off PSU like a steel wall.
I remember a huge sack inside the twenty in the third quarter. I was jumping up and down screaming “DOWN YOU GO! DOWN YOU GO!” in that play. My friend, a Domer, observed that I was releasing twenty years of fan angst in that play.I think it has been commented on often, but that game was the best “homefield” for the Cats I have ever seen. Excitement about the team had reached a high pitch, and NU fans bought up the tickets in response. I’ll never forget the electric buzz in the crowd as the clock wound down to zero in the 4th quarter, and the roar when it reached 0:00. It was a great evening!
