Stoops vs. Big Red: A look at how the OU coach fared against a former rival

Nebraska defeated the Sooners 69-7 in 1997. Three years later, Sooner fans were peppering the field with oranges after Josh Heupel led OU to a 31-14 victory in Norman.

The Huskers actually led 14-0 after their first two possessions.

The victory lifted the eventual national champion Sooners to their first No. 1 ranking since 1987.

Black 41 Flash Reverse Pass. That play, a pass from Mike Stuntz to Eric Crouch, will forever be ingrained into the minds of Husker fans. "In a game like this, a lot of people are going to look at it for years and years to come," said Crouch, who won the 2001 Heisman Trophy.
