Big Ten Elite is a sports documentary television series that airs on the Big Ten Network. The show features a countdown of the top ten football games in the history of the Big Ten Conference, as selected by a panel of experts. Each episode focuses on one game and includes interviews with coaches, players, and fans, as well as highlights and analysis of the game.

The episode from 2012 features the 1994 Nebraska Cornhuskers, led by legendary coach Tom Osborne and star quarterback Tommie Frazier. The team went undefeated during the regular season and won the national championship with a dominant performance in the Orange Bowl against the University of Miami.

The episode begins with an overview of the team's season, including key moments and standout performances. We hear from Coach Osborne and some of the players, who discuss their memories of the season and what it was like to be a part of such a special team. We also see highlights of their games, including their big wins over Oklahoma, Colorado, and Kansas State.

The heart of the episode is devoted to the Orange Bowl, which pitted the Cornhuskers against the Miami Hurricanes, who were defending national champions and had won the last two meetings between the two teams. We hear from players on both sides, as well as coaches and commentators, who offer their insights into the game.

The episode does an excellent job of building up the tension and drama leading up to the game, as well as conveying the excitement and energy of the event itself. The game itself is a classic, with both teams trading blows throughout the first half, and Nebraska taking a 24-7 lead early in the third quarter. Miami mounted a comeback, however, and cut the lead to 24-17 with less than four minutes left in the game.

The final drive of the game is one of the most iconic in college football history, as Nebraska marched down the field with a series of clutch plays, including a fourth-down conversion and a stunning touchdown run by Frazier that sealed the victory. The episode captures the drama and excitement of the moment perfectly, with expert commentary and analysis adding depth and insight to the action.

Overall, Big Ten Elite is an excellent sports documentary series that does a great job of capturing the excitement and drama of some of the greatest games in the history of the Big Ten Conference. The episode featuring the 1994 Nebraska Cornhuskers is a standout, with a compelling narrative, expert analysis, and unforgettable moments of athletic brilliance. If you're a fan of college football or sports documentaries in general, this is a must-watch series.
