A series on the Cornhuskers highs and lows since 1962
First in a series of six articles by longtime Husker fan Chris Fort. Here is a little background on Chris.
A defensive struggle ensued, the clacking of pads and the grunts from the trenches being picked up on the ABC broadcast. With the Huskers clinging precariously to a 13-10 lead in the 4th quarter, thoughts turned to “Big Game” Bob Stoops, the hot young coach who presided over a title in just his second year and boasted an 8-0 record against top ten opponents.
The Huskers did this despite their inherent recruiting challenges and despite the ground shifting throughout the decades - scholarship limits squeezing tighter and tighter, recruiting scandals at neighboring schools, and changing academic requirements by the NCAA. Nebraska was not devoid of traditional excellence prior to Devaney’s arrival and the start of the 40-year dynasty. This was a program that stymied the great Red Grange, that dealt the mythical Four Horsemen of Notre Dame their only collegiate losses, that didn’t incur a defeat for three straight seasons , and that, until the forties, averaged better than a sixty-eight-win percentage in every decade. Nebraska had a rich history that was all but forgotten by the time JFK took office.
