Black 41 Flash Reverse
The 2001 Oklahoma vs. Nebraska football game was the eightieth edition of the Nebraska–Oklahoma rivalry, held on October 27, 2001 at Memorial Stadium in Lincoln, Nebraska. It featured the teams ranked first and second by the BCS and is remembered for Black 41 Flash Reverse, a fourth-quarter reverse pass that became the signature play of quarterback Eric Crouch's Heisman Trophy-winning season.
The Nebraska–Oklahoma rivalry was among college football's most significant throughout the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s. Nebraska dominated the decade following Barry Switzer's 1988 resignation, winning ten of eleven games in the series, a stretch that ended when OU hired Bob Stoops. Stoops led the Sooners to a national championship in 2000, including a win over No. 1 Nebraska in Norman.
Both teams were again among college football's elite in 2001, ranking in the top three of all major polls leading into their October 27 meeting in Lincoln. Fourth-year starting quarterback Eric Crouch had led Nebraska to an 8–0 start and was considered a frontrunner for the Heisman Trophy. Oklahoma had won twenty consecutive games but entered as a slight underdog. ESPN's College GameDay made its second visit to Lincoln of the season – Lee Corso selected Oklahoma, promising to ride a mechanical bull at a campus fraternity if Nebraska won.
A scoreless opening quarter gave way to a chaotic second quarter, which began with OU starter Jason White tearing his ACL while completing a long pass in Nebraska territory. Backup Nate Hybl played the rest of the game in relief of White, completing his first pass to tight end Trent Smith in the end zone to give OU a 7–0 lead. Nebraska had opened the game with six consecutive punts but responded quickly to the OU score, tying the game on a ten-play touchdown drive. NU added a field goal minutes later to take a 10–7 lead.
As the first half wound down, OU offensive coordinator Mark Mangino called a reverse pass to Hybl that strongly resembled the play Nebraska would successfully run two quarters later. With a clear path to the end zone, Hybl tripped and the pass fell incomplete, forcing OU to settle for a field goal to tie the game at ten before halftime.
Nebraska intercepted Hybl on the second play of the second half, and a long run by I-back Thunder Collins set up a field goal to take a 13–10 lead that stood into the fourth quarter. With nine minutes left in regulation, an Oklahoma pooch punt pinned the Cornhuskers at their own four yard-line. NU moved the ball to the 32-yard line before Crouch was stopped in the backfield on third-and-two, but a facemask penalty gave Nebraska a first down. NU head coach Frank Solich called Black 41 Flash Reverse, to the surprise of his offense.
Nebraska practiced Black 41 Flash Reverse leading up to the game, but according to Crouch it had gone poorly and was removed from the playbook before Saturday. NU lined up in a formation it had used twice earlier, both resulting in an end-around to Collins. Oklahoma's safeties stepped forward to support against a run before Crouch again handed to Collins, who then pitched to split end Mike Stuntz, a true freshman who was a quarterback in high school but played sparingly at Nebraska. Crouch rolled left and sprinted downfield as Stuntz threw him the ball, making the catch at the Oklahoma 40 and running untouched into the end zone.
The teams traded punts, the tenth of the game for each team, and Nebraska ran out the clock on a 20–10 victory.
