On the 100 days string, we talked about Drake Dunsmore's long catch-and-run in the Outback Bowl as an all-time favorite of NU fans, and it got me thinking - let's make this scientific (note: not really scientific at all). If I were to amass a list of 64 nominees of your favorite NU plays since 1995, can I count on your guys to vote on all of them? I figure we can just have a bracket. The thing is, I need help with the plays, as I won't be able to think of all of them off the top of my head.
My only rule is it has to be exactly one play in a game and not something like "the first five minutes of the Sun Bowl" or "making it to the Rose Bowl" or whatever. I'll get us started with the first few that popped into my head:
Dunsmore in the Outback Bowl, 2010
Skowronek's catch against Iowa, 2018
Herron's winning TD against Ohio State, 2004
Victory Right against Minnesota, 2000
A-Train's fumble against Michigan, 2000
Beazley's TD into the band against Notre Dame, 1995
Hartl's TD against Michigan, 1995
Gowins' last field goal against Michigan, 1996
McGee down the sideline against Utah, 2018
Brendan Smith's game-clinching interception against Minnesota, 2008
