Nebraska will head into the Foster Farms Bowl with a 5-7 record. The Huskers played their best football of the season in the final month, but closed the regular season with a tough 28-20 loss to No. 3 Iowa in Lincoln. Nebraska has been extremely competitive in Coach Mike Riley's first season. The Huskers' losses have been by a combined 31 points, with the first five setbacks by a total of 13 points. UCLA is a familiar non-conference opponent for the Huskers, with the Foster Farms Bowl being the 13th all-time meeting between the two schools, with the series tied at six wins apiece. It will be the first matchup of the schools in a bowl game. UCLA heads into the Foster Farms Bowl with an 8-4 overall record, including a 5-4 record in the Pac-12 Conference. The Bruins rose as high as No. 7 in the Associated Press Poll early in the season. UCLA has defeated four opponents who were ranked at game time during the 2015 season.

As of Dec. 15, 11 additional football studentathletes were expected to pick up their degree in UNL fall commencement exercises. The group includes seniors Tyson Broekemeier, Byerson Cockrell, Daniel Davie, Jack Gangwish, Joe Keels, Ryne Reeves, Anthony Ridder, Jonathan Rose, Zach Sterup and David Sutton, along with junior Vincent Valentine.

Win over Michigan State highlights 2015 campaign

Nebraska had its share of tough losses in the 2015 season, but posted a signature victory on Nov. 7, defeating then-No. 6 Michigan State, 39-38 at Memorial Stadium. The loss was MSU's only setback en route to a 12-1 record, Big Ten title and a spot in the College Football Playoff. The win was noteworthy on many levels for Coach Mike Riley and the Nebraska program. • The Spartans were the highest ranked team Nebraska defeated since a win over No. 2 Oklahoma in 2001. • The victory marked the ninth time in school history Nebraska defeated a team ranked sixth or higher in Lincoln. • The win was Nebraska's first over a top-10 team since a 24-3 win over No. 9 Michigan State in 2011. • The win marked the first time an unranked Nebraska team defeated a top-10 opponent since a 1977 victory over Alabama in Lincoln. It was only the third such win in school history. • Riley has now defeated six top-10 opponents in the past 10 seasons. He has defeated a team ranked No. 7 or higher in each of the past two seasons. • Riley has defeated 13 ranked teams over the past 10 seasons, including 11 wins over top20 foes. • The win over the No. 6 Spartans marked the highest ranked opponent a first-year Nebraska head coach has ever defeated.

The Huskers' one-point win over Michigan State reversed the trend of close setbacks in 2015. Nebraska's seven losses came by a total of 31 points, with the first five by a total of 13 points.

According to Stats, Inc., NU is only the second FBS team since 2006 to lose four games in which the opponent scored the winning points in the final 10 seconds or overtime. (SMU, 2007). • Nebraska's 33-28 loss to BYU came when the Cougars completed a Hail Mary on the game's final play as time expired. • NU rallied from a 23-point fourth-quarter deficit at Miami to force overtime. The Hurricanes escaped with a 36-33 win after kicking a walk-off game-winning field goal. • Illinois drove 72 yards in the final minute and scored with 10 seconds left for a 14-13 win. • Wisconsin kicked a 46-yard game-winning field goal with four seconds left for a 23-21 win. The Badgers drove 46 yards in six plays in 59 seconds to get into field goal range.

Huskers Battle Injuries Throughout 2015 season

Nebraska enters the Foster Farms Bowl in relatively good shape on the injury front. That has not been the case for most of 2015. The significant injuries began in fall camp and continued through much of the year. • Injuries have forced NU to use 21 different starters on offense and 20 on defense in 2015. Nebraska is one of only eight teams in the FBS ranks to start at least 20 players on both sides of the ball this season. • Sophomore receiver De'Mornay Pierson-El missed the first four games with a foot injury. After playing sparingly in five games, he suffered a leg and knee injury at Purdue and missed the remainder of the season. • Senior defensive tackle Kevin Williams (groin) missed five games, before returning for the season's final month. • Junior linebacker Michael Rose-Ivey has missed five full games with a groin injury at mid-season before returning in a limited role for the final three games. • Linebacker Josh Banderas missed four games in the first half of the season with a groin injury. He was replaced in the starting lineup by Chris Weber, who subsequently missed three games with a shoulder injury. • The defensive line was battered throughout the season. In addition to Kevin Williams, tackles Vincent Valentine and Kevin Maurice each missed time, while ends Freedom Akinmoladun and Jack Gangwish also spent time on the injury list.

First-Time Starters Abound for 2015 Huskers

Injuries have forced NU to shuffle its lineup throughout the year. Numerous players had the opportunity to make their first career starts in 2015, in large part because of injuries. Nebraska had seven players make their first career starts in the season opener against BYU. Another five Huskers made their first career starts in week two, and Nebraska continued to embody the "Next Man Up" philosophy. A total of 44 players started games in 2015 (21 offense, 20 defense, 3 specialists) including 19 for the first time in their careers. Among the first-time starters were true freshman LB Dedrick Young (11 starts), true freshman S Aaron Williams (2 starts) and true freshman WR Stanley Morgan Jr. (3 starts). Williams and Young joined an exclusive group of true freshmen to start in a season opener, becoming just the fourth and fifth true freshmen position players to start a season opener since freshmen regained NCAA eligibility in 1972.

Huskers Getting Production from Youth on 2015 roster

Nebraska has an excellent mix of experience and youth contributing to both the offense and defense in 2015. The Huskers' two-deep roster includes ample experience, with seniors dotting the current depth chart. However, youth is also being served in Lincoln in 2015. Non-seniors have produced the following percentages of statistics for Nebraska, showing that the future is solid.

Non-Senior Production

• Rushing: 69% (1,386 of 2,014 yards) • Passing: 100% (3,296 of 3,296 yards) • Receiving: 94% (3,094 of 3,296 yards) • Scoring: 88% (342 of 390 points) • Total Offense: 88% (4,682 of 5,310 yards) • All-Purpose Yards: 86% (5,305 of 6,168 yards) • Tackles for Loss: 87% (72 of 83 TFL) • Sacks: 94% (22.5 of 24 sacks) • Interceptions: 75% (6 of 8 INT)

Husker aerial attack strong

Nebraska topped the 300-yard passing mark six times in 2015, including each of the first four games. NU had a season-high 407 passing yards at Purdue, the fifth most in school history. The Huskers average 274.7 passing yards per game to rank second in the Big Ten and 30th nationally.

NEBRASKA RANKS AMONG NATION’S ATTENDANCE LEADERS

Nebraska averaged 89,998 fans for its seven home games at Memorial Stadium in 2015. Capacity at Memorial Stadium was slightly lowered prior to the 2015 campaign, resulting in a slight drop in average attendance. Nebraska's attendance average ranks 11th in the nation and fourth among Big Ten schools. This marks the third straight year Nebraska has ranked 11th or higher in average attendance. Nebraska had a season-high 90,830 fans for the regular-season finale against Iowa. The Big Ten unofficially had seven of the top 24 schools in average home attendance in 2015. In 2014, Nebraska was 10th in average home attendance with 91,249 fans per game. The average attendance for seven home games was the largest ever at Memorial Stadium, bettering the 2013 mark of 90,933 per game. The Huskers checked in at No. 9 in 2013, the highest for Nebraska since full attendance figures are available beginning with the 1999 season. NU has ranked in the top 20 nationally in attendance each of the 17 years with available attendance figures.

Including last year's bowl game, Nebraska topped the 300-yard passing mark in five straight games. That tied the longest streak of 300-yard passing games in Nebraska history, matching a streak that spanned the final four games of the 2007 season and the 2008 opener. • Nebraska's passing success is in large part due to excellent protection. The Huskers have allowed 13 sacks this season, and the 1.08 sacks per game allowed ranks first in the Big Ten and 12th nationally.

Nebraska Offense Posts Strong 2015 production

Nebraska ranks second in the Big Ten in total offense at 442.5 yards per game. Nebraska's top output of the season was against Southern Miss when NU gained 610 yards and had 10 plays of at least 20 yards. • Nebraska has 209 plays from scrimmage of at least 10 yards. That total ranks 23rd in the nation and second in the Big Ten. Nebraska is also second in the Big Ten in plays of 20-plus yards with 71. • Nebraska scored 48 points at Minnesota, marking its highest scoring output in a Big Ten Conference game. The last time NU scored more points in a conference game was a 51-41 win at Oklahoma State in 2010. • The offensive output sparked the 23-point win at Minnesota, marking NU's fourth Big Ten road win of 20 points or more since joining the league in 2011.

Newby, Cross Share load in running attack

Nebraska has produced three 200-yard rushing games in 2015, and is 3-0 when topping that rushing plateau. Senior I-back Imani Cross powered the rushing attack in November. He ran for 98 yards vs. Michigan State, 90 at Rutgers and 55 yards and two touchdowns vs. Iowa. Cross has 1,542 career rushing yards. He has 27 career rushing touchdowns and was the first player in NU history to reach 25 or more rushing touchdowns on fewer than 300 carrires. He now has 311 career carries. Cross carried the load in November while junior Terrell Newby was slowed by an ankle injury. Newby paced the running game for the first two months, and has a team-high 743 rushing yards and five touchdowns. Newby's season was highlighted by a career night against South Alabama, when he ran for 198 yards and two touchdowns. He also caught a touchdown pass and was named co-Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week. • Newby had his second 100-yard game of 2015 at Minnesota with 116 yards on just 13 carries.

a throwback to the fullback

Senior fullback Andy Janovich has become a solid option in the offense evoking memories of past NU fullback greats. His play earned Janovich honorable-mention All-Big Ten accolades from the conference coaches. Janovich first excelled against Southern Miss with five rushes for 68 yards, including runs of 28 and 25 yards. He also caught a 53-yard pass in the game. • The 68 rushing yards were the most by a Nebraska fullback since Judd Davies rushed for 119 yards at Baylor in 2001. • The 53-yard reception was the longest by a Nebraska fullback since at least 1979. Janovich had 11 rushes for 43 yards at Illinois. The 11 carries were the most by an NU fullback since Judd Davies had 12 carries at Baylor in 2001. Against Wisconsin, Janovich rushed for a team-high high 59 yards, including a 55-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter to give NU a 21-20 advantage. • The 55-yard TD run was the longest run by a Nebraska fullback since a 57-yard run by Judd Davies against Baylor in 2000. The 55yard Janovich score was the longest TD run by a Husker fullback since Tom Rathman had an 84-yard touchdown run in 1985. Janovich had entered the Southern Miss game with six career rushing yards and 29 career receiving yards. Janovich has 36 carries for 234 yards and 58 receiving yards since that game.

collins Showing Power, DOminance up front

Junior defensive tackle Maliek Collins is one of the leaders of the Blackshirts in 2015. The Kansas City native is a team captain and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors. Collins stepped up his play in Big Ten action, and his play is a key reason NU is one of the nation's best against the run. • Collins had a career-high nine tackles against Illinois, including a career-high 1.5 sacks for 12 yards. • Collins also tied his career high with three tackles for loss and added a pass breakup at the line of scrimmage against the Illini. • Collins has 29 total tackles in 2015, including seven tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and four quarterback hurries. • All seven of Collins' tackles for loss came in Big Ten games. • Collins had a standout sophomore campaign to earn second-team All-Big Ten honors. Collins recorded 14 tackles for loss and 4.5 sacks last season.

Brown kicking his way into record books

Sophomore place-kicker Drew Brown put together a strong 2015 campaign. Brown has at his best throughout Big Ten play and earned second-team All-Big Ten honors. Brown is 20-of-26 on field goals this season, including making each of his last 10 field goals. Nine of the 10 field goals in the current streak have been from at least 40 yards. The streak of 10 straight made field goals is the sixth-longest streak in NU history. • Overall, Brown has connected on 13 field goals of at least 40 yards this season. He is 13-of-17 from beyond 40 yards, including 12of-14 from 40-49 yards. • In Big Ten Conference games, Brown connected on 12-of-14 field goals. • Brown's 20 field goals this season are tied for fifth on the Nebraska season list.

coaching numbers

head coaching experience NEBRASKA • 2015 (1st season; 5-7 record) Mike Riley will complete his first season on the Nebraska sideline by guiding the Huskers in the Foster Farms Bowl against UCLA. Riley will attempt to become only the fourth Husker coach to win a bowl game in his debut season and the only Nebraska coach to defeat four bowl teams in his first season. Riley owns a 6-2 career record in bowl games, all at Oregon State. The highlight of Riley’s first season was Nebraska’s 39-38 upset of unbeaten and eventual Big Ten champion Michigan State on Nov. 7. That victory was the Huskers’ first win over a top-10 opponent in four seasons and marked only the third time in the 126-year history of Nebraska football that an unranked Husker team had upset a top-10 opponent. For Riley, the win over the No. 6 Spartans marked his sixth victory over a top-10 opponent in the past 10 seasons and his 15th win over a ranked foe in the last 15 seasons. Nebraska was highly competitive throughout the season, as the Huskers did not lose a single game by more than 10 points for the first time since 1999. Nebraska’s losses came by an average of 4.7 points per game, including four losses by three or fewer points and four losses where the winning points were scored on the opponent’s final offensive play. The Foster Farms Bowl brings Riley back to California to face a former conference foe. Riley began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at California in 1975, and he also spent three seasons as the head coach of the San Diego Chargers and four seasons as the assistant head coach/offensive coordinator at USC. In 14 total seasons as the head coach at Oregon State, Riley won 58 conference games, the 11th-highest total in Pac-12 history. Riley is also familiar with postseason play in San Francisco, as he led his Beavers to a 21-14 victory over Maryland in the 2007 Emerald Bowl.

SHAWN EICHORST

DIRECTOR OF ATHLETICS · THIRD YEAR WISCONSIN-WHITEWATER · 1990

Shawn Eichorst came to the University of Nebraska in 2012 with an incredible passion for the University and for its student-athletes. As the leader of a tradition-rich athletics program with 24 intercollegiate teams, 600-plus student-athletes and more than 300 full-time employees, Eichorst has relied on a strong value system and a student-centered approach to lead the Department. Athletics’ primary mission is to provide student-athletes with the resources and support they need to be successful in academics, athletics and life. The health, safety and welfare of student-athletes are priority one and are at the essence of every decision made at Nebraska. Nebraska has a history of providing first-class coaches, staff and facilities for its students. Additionally, since Eichorst arrived in Lincoln, resources and services in every student-athlete support unit have been improved and enhanced, including academics, athletic medicine, life skills, nutrition, sports psychology, strength and conditioning and in the Nebraska Athletics Performance Laboratory (NAPL). Eichorst has continued to aggressively move Nebraska forward with several new initiatives to enhance the student-athlete experience. The Department will provide state-of-the-art laptop computers to all student-athletes beginning in the summer of 2015 and the University will now provide four-year, full cost of attendance-based scholarships for all scholarship student-athletes in every sport. Also beginning in the summer of 2015, every Husker letterwinner who graduates and has exhausted his or her eligibility will be provided assistance to either obtain an internship; study abroad or attend graduate or professional school. Eichorst has made more than 350 public appearances around the state, and his monthly radio show and “Connecting on Campus” online column provide the opportunity for him to further connect and share the incredible activities, initiatives and accomplishments that take place at the University and in the Department. As a member of the Chancellor’s Senior Administrative Team, Eichorst maintains a strong connection and collaboration between the University and Athletics Department. A highly respected national leader, Eichorst was appointed in 2015 to the Division I Football Oversight Committee. He was the first Director of Athletics from any conference to visit the Big Ten Conference-based Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC) at its Champaign, Ill., headquarters. The CIC is a highly successful academic-based consortium of 15 schools, including all 14 in the Big Ten Conference. Nebraska is leading the Big Ten and the CIC in several areas, including Digital Humanities and head injury research. Under Eichorst, Nebraska extended its nation-leading total of CoSIDA Academic All-Americans to 320 and its nation-leading total of NCAA Top Ten Award winners to 17, after Mary Weatherholt (women’s tennis) earned the honor in 2014. In 2014-15, more than 400 awards were presented at the 25th Anniversary Student-Athlete Recognition Banquet—A Night at the Lied. Over three commencements, 118 student-athletes earned undergraduate or graduate degrees and the Big Ten Conference honored 205 Husker student-athletes with Academic All-Big Ten awards. For the first time in school history, all Nebraska teams had an NCAA Academic Progress Rate (APR) of 950 or higher, as reported in May of 2015. The Nebraska football (second consecutive year) and rifle (third consecutive year) programs received public recognition for having an APR in the top 10 percent in their respective sports. In addition, five Husker teams (women’s basketball, softball, women’s tennis, volleyball and women’s golf) had a Graduation Success Rate (GSR) of 100 percent, as reported in the fall of 2014. On Dec. 4, 2014, Eichorst announced the hiring of Mike Riley as the Huskers’ new head football coach. As one of the most respected and sought-after coaches in the profession, Riley’s hire was highly praised by prominent members of the national media, the coaching fraternity, Riley’s former players, and current and former Nebraska student-athletes. In Riley, Eichorst secured one of the finest football minds in the world and great positive-thinking teacher of young men. In 2014-15, the Nebraska women’s bowling team earned the school’s seventh national title and fifth since bowling became an NCAA sport in 2004. The Husker men’s track and field team won the Big Ten Indoor Championship and 13 Husker teams competed in NCAA postseason action, including bowling, football, volleyball, women’s basketball, wrestling, softball, men’s and women’s gymnastics, rifle, and men’s and women’s indoor and outdoor track and field. Nebraska produced 36 All-Americans who won 51 awards.

Nebraska’s fan support continues to be unparalleled in college athletics. In fact, in 2014-15 top 15 national rankings for average attendance were reached across five sports—football, volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball and baseball. A tribute to loyal Husker fans, two sports lead the nation with consecutive home sellout streaks, including football (340) and volleyball for regular-season action (188). In 2013-14, Nebraska became one of only two NCAA institutions – and the first Big Ten program in history – to qualify for a football bowl game, and advance to NCAA postseason in the major team sports of volleyball, soccer, men’s and women’s basketball, baseball and softball. Additionally, Nebraska was the only institution to win a postseason game in six of those seven sports. Under Eichorst’s leadership, Nebraska continues to focus on improving its facilities and the game-day experience at all athletic venues. In the summer of 2015, a world-class Soccer and Tennis Complex, located just north of the Devaney Center and Nebraska Innovation Campus, was completed. A new center-hung video board and sound system was installed in the Devaney Center in 2015 to improve the game-day experience for volleyball, wrestling and men’s and women’s gymnastics. In 2014, the largest wireless network system at a college football stadium in history was installed in Memorial Stadium, along with a state-of-the-art sound system. In the summer of 2013, a Memorial Stadium expansion also added the innovative NAPL inside East Stadium next to the Center for Brain, Biology and Behavior (CB3). That same year, Nebraska’s men’s and women’s basketball teams became the primary tenants at Pinnacle Bank Arena, and the renovated Devaney Center became the home for Husker volleyball, wrestling and the men’s and women’s gymnastics programs. Eichorst came to Nebraska after serving as Director of Athletics at Miami in 2011 and 2012. He hired legendary men’s basketball coach Jim Larrañaga, who led Miami to the NIT Second Round in his first season and ACC regular-season and tournament titles as well and the NCAA Sweet 16 in his second. The women’s basketball program posted its highest national ranking in school history (No. 5) and advanced to the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament. The women’s tennis team advanced to the NCAA Elite Eight for the fourth straight season, and the baseball team made its 40th consecutive NCAA appearance. The women’s soccer team posted its first NCAA Tournament win in school history, and the volleyball team made its third straight NCAA Tournament trip. Before heading to Miami, Eichorst was the Deputy Athletics Director at Wisconsin. He was the Chief Operating Officer and oversaw the department’s daily operations, as well as Bo Ryan’s men’s basketball program under the direction of Director of Athletics and former Husker Barry Alvarez. From 2004 to 2006, Eichorst served as the Senior Associate Athletics Director for Administration at South Carolina, overseeing the department’s daily operations, as well as the football and baseball programs under legendary coaches Lou Holtz, Steve Spurrier and Ray Tanner, respectively. From 1999 to 2003, Eichorst served as the Director of Athletics at Wisconsin-Whitewater, which produced four top 10-percent finishes in the NACDA Directors Cup, one NCAA team title and two NCAA runner-up finishes. The program also featured 11 CoSIDA Academic All-America selections. A native of Lone Rock, Wis., Eichorst was an all-conference defensive back, three-time letterwinner and 1990 football team captain for the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater. He graduated magna cum laude in business from UW-Whitewater in 1990 and in 2015 was awarded the Distinguished Alumni Award for Professional Achievement. He earned a law degree from Marquette Law School in 1995, practiced law in Milwaukee until 1999 and is a past member of the State Bar of Wisconsin Board of Governors. He served as an assistant adjunct professor of law at Marquette, where he taught classes in sports law. He serves on the Marquette University National Sports Law Institute Board of Advisors and in 2006, Marquette awarded Eichorst the Sports Law Alumnus of the Year Award. He is also a graduate of the Sports Management Institute and serves on its Executive Committee. Shawn and his wife Kristin have three sons: Jack, Joseph and Bennett.

Lincoln (Sept. 5) --- Tanner Mangum’s 42-yard Hail Mary pass to Mitch Mathews on 4th-and-3 as time expired gave BYU a 33-28 win over Nebraska in the season opener for both teams. Nebraska erased a 10-point halftime deficit and took a 28-24 lead after Trey Foster’s nine-yard touchdown pass from Tommy Armstrong Jr. midway through the third quarter, as Armstrong completed 24-of-41 passes for 319 yards with three touchdowns. BYU closed to within 28-27 after Trevor Samson’s 35-yard field goal with 7:57 left. The Huskers were unable to convert on the ground on a pair of 3rd-and-1 runs late in the game, but Armstrong led Nebraska into field goal position on its final drive with less than a minute left. However Drew Brown missed a 41yard field goal with 48 seconds left to give BYU a final chance. Mangum, who replaced an injured Taysom Hill, guided the Cougars to past midfield before his heave to Mathews, who caught the ball over two Husker defenders and fell into the end zone for the game winner, snapping Nebraska’s 29-yard winning streak in season openers. Hill finished with 268 yards passing and one touchdown while rushing for two scores before leaving the game with a season-ending foot injury. Mangum completed 7-of-11 passes for 111 yards and a TD. Nebraska got off to a 14-7 lead in the first quarter, as Armstrong connected on scoring passes to Jordan Westerkamp and Alonzo Moore. Westerkamp, who caught seven passes for 107 yards, opened the game on a nifty catch and run, escaping several would-be tacklers en route to the score. Hill and the Cougars controlled the second quarter, beginning with a 21-yard Hill touchdown run to tie the game at 14 with 13:13 left in the half. After Samson’s first field goal gave the Cougars the lead, Hill connected with Mathews for a 15-yard passing touchdown to push BYU’s edge to 24-14 heading to the half. Nebraska’s defense turned the tide in the third quarter, as safety Nate Gerry picked off Hill and returned it 43 yards to the BYU 35. The Huskers capitalized three plays later as Terrell Newby went the final 10 yards to pull the Huskers within 24-21. The Blackshirts shut down the Cougars on the next two drives to set up an eight-play, 62-yard march capped by Armstrong’s nine-yard touchdown pass to tight end Foster to give the hosts a four-point lead.

Lincoln (Sept. 12) --- Nebraska used a balanced offense and a stingy defense in posting a 48-9 win over South Alabama, giving Mike Riley his first win as head coach of the Huskers. Terrell Newby raced to career highs of 198 yards and a pair of scores, while also catching an eight-yard touchdown grab, as the Huskers took a 24-0 halftime lead and cruised to the win. Nebraska was opportunistic on defense, forcing three turnovers that led to 17 Husker points, while holding South Alabama to just 19 rushing yards. Tommy Armstrong Jr. orchestrated a Nebraska passing game that accounted for 303 yards and three touchdowns, as he finished 21-of-30 for 270 yards and two scores. Newby, who carried a then-career-high 17 times for a careerhigh 118 yards in the first half alone, accounted for all three Husker touchdowns in the first half, as the Big Red raced to a 24-0 lead. Newby capped NU’s first drive with a 13-yard scoring run before his eight-yard TD reception four minutes later staked the Huskers to a 14-0 cushion. Newby tacked on his third score of the half midway through the second stanza, scoring from eight yards to put NU ahead 21-0. Nebraska took advantage of a South Alabama turnover in the final seconds of the half, as the Huskers recovered a muffed punt and capitalized three plays later as Drew Brown added a 42-yard field goal as time expired to send Nebraska to the locker room up 24-0. While Newby controlled the ground game, Brandon Reilly and Lane Hovey were the primary targets for Armstrong, as NU rolled up 561 yards of total offense. Reilly notched five receptions for 71 yards, while Hovey pulled down career highs of five receptions for 68 yards. The Blackshirts held South Alabama scoreless for nearly three quarters and didn’t allow a touchdown until 3:36 left in the fourth quarter. Michael Rose-Ivey, making his first appearance since the 2014 Gator Bowl, led NU with 10 tackles, while Jonathan Rose added a career-high eight tackles.

Miami Gardens, Fla. (Sept. 19) -- Tommy Armstrong Jr. and the Huskers orchestrated the greatest fourth-quarter comeback in Nebraska history, erasing a 23-point deficit, but Miami escaped with a 36-33 overtime win on Saturday at Sun Life Stadium. Trailing 33-10 with 11:14 left, Armstrong led Nebraska to 23 unanswered points to send the game to overtime. The Huskers’ comeback included a trio of fourth-quarter touchdown passes from Armstrong to Alonzo Moore, Brandon Reilly and Stanley Morgan Jr., and a pair of two-point conversion passes to Cethan Carter and Jordan Westerkamp, the last coming with 33 seconds remaining. Morgan caught four passes for 78 yards and a TD, while Reilly also had four receptions for 83 yards, including a 41-yard catch to set up Nebraska’s game-tying score. The Huskers had the ball first in the overtime session, but Armstrong, who completed 21-of-45 passes for 309 yards and four scores, was intercepted by Corn Elder on NU’s first play of the extra period. Miami won the game moments later as Michael Badgley’s fifth field goal of the game provided the Hurricanes with a three-point win. Brad Kaaya completed 25-of-42 passes for 379 yards and two touchdowns, as Miami scored touchdowns on its first two possessions and built a 20-3 halftime lead. Rashawn Scott led UM with 151 yards on nine catches. Joe Yearby added 125 yards rushing on 17 carries, including a 41-yard yard run to put Miami up 27-3 early in the third quarter. Armstrong led the Huskers back, finding Westerkamp for a 22-yard score for NU’s first touchdown to begin the comeback. Miami got off to a blistering start, as Kaaya guided the Hurricanes to touchdowns on their first two possessions, going 65 and 60 yards to give the hosts a 14-0 lead. Trailing 17-0 Nebraska got on the board midway through the second quarter, going 60 yards in eight plays before Drew Brown’s career-long 49yard field goal pulled NU within 17-3.

Lincoln (Sept. 26) – Nebraska relied on the arm of Tommy Armstrong Jr. and the leg of Drew Brown to take a 22-0 lead and hold on for a 36-28 win over Southern Miss. Armstrong accounted for all three scores, throwing a pair of touchdown strikes, while his 16-yard scoring run with 9:30 left provided the Huskers with the winning margin. Armstrong accounted for a careerhigh 431 yards of total offense, including 23-of-35 passing for 368 yards through the air. Brown connected on five first-half field goals, including a career-long 50-yarder as time expired in the first half, matching an NCAA record for field goals in a half done on two previous occasions, including by NU’s Dale Klein in 1985. Brown’s kick also tied the Memorial Stadium record for field goals in a game. Nebraska got off to a quick start, going 71 yards on eight plays on its first series as Armstrong found Jordan Westerkamp for a six-yard TD catch. It was the start of a big day for Westerkamp, who finished with a career-high 11 receptions for 118 yards. The Huskers scored on all six of their first-half possessions, as Brown kicked field goals of 29, 27, 40, 22 and 50 yards to stake the Huskers to a 22-0 lead. Two other Huskers enjoyed career afternoons, as Brandon Reilly went over 100 receiving yards with three catches for 112 yards, while fullback Andy Janovich rushed for 68 yards on five carries hauled in a 53-yard pass in the first half to set up a Brown field goal. Nebraska extended its lead to 29-7 as Armstrong found Taariq Allen for a 10-yard scoring strike with 27 seconds in the third quarter. The Huskers withstood a strong performance by USM’s Nick Mullens, who finished the day 26-of-41 for 447 yards and two touchdowns. Mullens connected on a pair of scoring strikes to Casey Martin within a 1:08 span in the fourth quarter to cut the Huskers’ lead to 29-21 before Armstrong’s TD run pushed the lead back to 15 points. Trailing 36-28, Southern Miss blocked Brown’s seventh field goal attempt with 30 seconds left and had a chance to send the game into overtime. The Golden Eagles flew to the Huskers’ 40-yard line, but Freedom Akinmoladun sealed the win, sacking Mullens as time expired.

Champaign, Ill. (Oct. 3) -- For the fourth time in five contests, the outcome of Nebraska’s football game was not decided until the opponent’s final offensive play, as Illinois’ Wes Lunt found Geronimo Allison for a one-yard touchdown pass with 10 seconds left, lifting the Fighting Illini to a 14-13 victory. Lunt’s touchdown pass and Taylor Zalewski’s ensuing extra point allowed Illinois to rally from a 13-point fourth-quarter deficit. Nebraska had the ball with 3rd-and-7 at the Illinois 27-yard line, but to run out the clock, as NU threw a pair of incompletions to give the Fighting Illini 51 seconds to work with. Lunt, who threw for 251 yards and a pair of TDs, hit Sam Mays for a 15-yard completion before he connected with Malik Turner on a 50-yard strike to get to the NU 7 with 40 seconds left. A pair of pass interference calls put the ball at the 1-yard line before Allison’s diving catch tied the game. Nebraska outgained Illinois on the ground, 187-131, thanks to a career-high 70 yards on just seven carries from Devine Ozigbo. The freshman scored the game’s first points in the second quarter with his first career touchdown, a nifty 19-yard run to put Nebraska up 7-0 with 12:35 left in the first half. Armstrong, who completed just 10-of-31 passes for 105 yards with one interception, helped stake the Big Red to a 13-0 lead through three quarters. Early in the second quarter, Armstrong’s 32-yard run put the Huskers in Illinois territory before Ozigbo scored two plays later. The Huskers extended the lead to 10-0 in the final seconds of the half, going 57 yards in eight plays, including a career-long 55-yard catch by Cethan Carter, to set up Drew Brown’s 39-yard field goal with 11 seconds left in the half. Brown’s second field goal of the day, this one from 28 yards, extended NU’s lead to 13-0 with 2:55 left in the third quarter as the Blackshirts held the Illini off the scoreboard. Sophomore Chris Weber keyed the defensive effort with a career-high 17 tackles, including three tackles for loss, while Maliek Collins added a career-high nine tackles, including 1.5 sacks.

Lincoln (Oct. 10) --- Rafael Gaglianone’s 46-yard field goal with four seconds remaining gave Wisconsin a 23-21 win over Nebraska at Memorial Stadium Saturday. The Huskers, whose four losses have all come on the opponent’s final offensive play, fell to 2-4, while Wisconsin improved to 4-2. It marked the seventh time in NU’s past eight games dating to last season, that Nebraska’s outcome has been decided by a single score. Gaglianone’s field goal, which followed his 39-yard miss that hit the right upright with 1:26 left in the game, spoiled a fourth-quarter comeback by the Huskers. Trailing 20-14 after Gaglianone’s 42-yard field goal with 6:17 left, Nebraska put together its best drive of the second half to regain the lead. On 3rd-and-15 from the NU 20, Tommy Armstrong Jr. scrambled for a 16-yard gain to spark the offense. Two plays later, Andy Janovich turned a 3rd-and-1 into a touchdown, breaking two tackles and going a career-high 55 yards to tie the game at 20. Drew Brown then gave NU a one-point lead with 3:38 left on his extra point. Nebraska rushed for 196 yards against a stingy Badger rush defense, as Janovich and Terrell Newby had 59 yards apiece. Armstrong added 50 more on eight carries, including a 7-yard TD run. Wisconsin outgained Nebraska, 469-325 in total offense on the day, as UW’s Joel Stave completed 24-of-50 passes for 322 yards, including a seven-yard touchdown pass to Troy Fumagalli to open the scoring in the second quarter for Wisconsin. Despite Wisconsin’s yardage advantage, the Huskers appeared to have the game in hand when Gaglianone missed his second field goal of the game, a 39-yarder that hit the right upright, with 1:26 left. However, the Badgers had all three of their timeouts remaining, and forced the Huskers to a three-and-out while spending just 12 seconds on the game clock. Wisconsin took over after Sam Foltz’s 47-yard punt against the wind pushed the Badgers to their own 30 to start their final drive with 1:03 left. In 54 seconds, Stave moved UW to the NU 28 when Gaglianone booted the decisive field goal. Trailing 7-0, the Huskers took the lead in the final minutes before the half. NU went 77 yards on 14 plays, taking 6:56 of the clock before Armstrong’s TD tied the game at seven. After holding Wisconsin to three-andout, NU struck quickly, going 62 yards on five plays as Armstrong found Alonzo Mooe for a leaping catch in the endzone to put NU up 14-7 at the break. Wisconsin pulled within 14-10 on a 45-yard field goal by Gaglianone before scoring 10 early fourth quarter points to a take a 20-14 advantage. Dare Ogunbowale led the Badger ground game with 18 carries for 117 yards, as his work on the ground sparked the Badger offense late. Alec Ingold’s one yard TD run made it 17-14 with 10:08 left before Gaglianone’s second field goal gave the Badgers a 20-14 advantage.

Minneapolis, Minn. (Oct. 17) -- Tommy Armstrong Jr. threw three touchdown passes while Terrell Newby picked up his second 100-yard effort of the season, as Nebraska snapped a two-game losing streak against Minnesota with a 48-25 victory. Nebraska’s win, the first Big Ten win under Coach Mike Riley, was sparked by 21 unanswered points after Minnesota pulled within 17-14. Armstrong completed 18-of-26 passes for 261 yards on the day, including touchdown strikes to Alonzo Moore, Cethan Carter and De’Mornay Pierson-El. Newby rushed for 116 yards and two scores on just 13 carries, including a career-long 69-yard touchdown. After falling behind 7-0, the Huskers needed just three plays to tie the score as Newby went untouched. Nebraska’s defense turned the first of three turnovers midway through the first quarter, as Nathan Gerry forced a fumble and Jack Gangwish recovered at the Gopher 29-yard line. Three plays later, Armstrong turned the Gopher gaffe into points with a 32-yard touchdown strike to Moore to give the Big Red a 14-7 lead. Moore finished the day with four receptions for a career-high 84 yards. The teams traded scores before the Huskers found paydirt late in the half to take a 10-point lead. NU went 75 yards in eight plays, as Newby’s second score of the day came on a nine-yard run to make it 24-14. Nebraska dominated the third quarter, outgaining Minnesota 142-9. The Blackshirts all but shut down the Gopher offense in the period, while Armstrong’s 10-yard touchdown pass to Carter with 4:16 left in the period capped a 10-play, 99-yard march to put the Huskers up 31-14. The lead grew even more when Pierson-El made a highlight-reel, 14-yard touchdown grab just 39 seconds into the final quarter to give NU a 38-14 cushion. Minnesota fought back, scoring a touchdown and a two-point conversion to cut the deficit to 38-22 before a 39-yard field goal with 6:49 left cut the margin to 38-25. Newby secured Minnesota’s on-side kick attempt, and Armstrong connected with Westerkamp on a gutsy 27-yard completion on 3rd-and-6 at the NU 42 to put Nebraska within scoring range at the Minnesota 31. That set up Drew Brown’s 41-yard field goal to push the lead back to 16. Joshua Kalu sealed the game on Minnesota’s next possession, picking off a Mitch Leidner pass and returning it 41 yards for the score. The touchdown capped a fine performance by the sophomore, who also had seven tackles in the win.

Lincoln (Oct. 24) – Nebraska’s fourth-quarter comeback bid fell just short, as the Huskers lost to Northwestern, 30-28, at Memorial Stadium. The Huskers trailed 30-22 with 7:27 left before Tommy Armstrong Jr. orchestrated a nine-play, 75-yard scoring drive that culminated with Armstong’s second touchdown run of the day with 4:23 left. The Huskers went for the two-point conversion to try and tie the score, but the pass fell incomplete, as Nebraska suffered its fifth loss by five points or less. The incompletion left the game in the hands of the Blackshirts, who were unable to get off the field against the Wildcats, who ran out the final 4:23. Nebraska’s best chance to force a Northwestern punt came on 3rd-and-3 at the Wildcat 32, but Clayton Thorson hit Justin Jackson on a short pass that Jackson turned into a 28-yard completion. Jackson carried the next two plays, picking up another first down with an eight-yard run to seal the Wildcat victory. Jackson finished with 14 carries for 40 yards while adding two receptions for 55 yards, but it was Thorson who did the most damage. The Wildcat quarterback carried nine times for 126 yards and one score. His 68 yard run set up Northwestern’s first score while he added a 49-yard run on the final minute of the first half to set up a field goal and give Northwestern a 17-12 halftime lead. Those two long plays accounted for nearly all of Northwestern’s 128 first-half yards, but a 72-yard interception return for a touchdown by Nick VanHoose with 7:17 left in the half was the biggest play of the game. The Huskers trailed 14-5 after the interception, but Nebraska answered back, as Armstrong found Reilly for a 10-yard touchdown to pull the Huskers within 14-12. Reilly finished with four receptions for 83 yards Armstrong struggled through the air in the first half, but finished 24-of-48 for 291 yards on the day. Jordan Westerkamp led the Husker receivers with five receptions for 92 yards, while De’Mornay Pierson-El added five catches for 31 yards. Thorson finished with 303 yards of total offense for Northwestern, including 177 yards on 13-of-28 passing. His 37-yard touchdown pass to Dan Vitale with 9:53 left in the fourth quarter gave the lead back to Northwestern at 27-22, after the Huskers had taken a 22-20 lead on the first play of the quarter with Drew Brown’s 48-yard field goal. After trailing 17-12 at half, Nebraska regained the lead on its opening drive of the third quarter with a massive 15-play, 75-yard march, capped by Armstrong’s four-yard TD run. Northwestern answered with an 18-yard field goal by Mitchell on its only drive of the third quarter to take a 20-19 lead to the final quarter.

West Lafayette (Oct. 31) -- An injury-riddled Nebraska team turned the ball over five times and suffered a 55-45 loss to Purdue at Ross-Ade Stadium. The Huskers, who slipped to 3-6 overall and 1-4 in the Big Ten, played without injured starting quarterback Tommy Armstrong Jr., as Ryker Fyfe took the loss in his first career start despite throwing for 407 yards and four touchdowns. He also threw four interceptions and lost one fumble, and those five turnovers were converted into 28 points by the Boilermakers. The Huskers, who were also without the services of injured wide receiver Alonzo Moore, took an additional hit to the receiving corps with a first-half injury to De’Mornay Pierson-El. The Big Red offense took another hit in the first half with the loss of starting running back Terrell Newby. Purdue capitalized on Nebraska’s injuries and turnovers to give Coach Darrell Hazell his first home Big Ten Conference victory in three seasons. The Boilermakers improved to 2-6 on the year and 1-3 in the Big Ten. Despite the personnel challenges on offense and the turnovers, the Huskers outgained Purdue, 484-457 in total yards on the day. The Big Red trailed 42-16 entering the fourth quarter, but refused to quit. Behind 199 passing yards from Fyfe, who completed 10-of-14 passes in the final period, the Huskers rallied for 29 points in the fourth - the second-best point total in the quarter in school history, trailing only 30 points at Hawaii on Dec. 4, 1982. Wide receivers Brandon Reilly and Jordan Westerkamp had big days for the Big Red. Westerkamp hauled in nine receptions for 123 yards, including a 35-yard touchdown catch with 30 seconds left to make the final margin. Even after that score, Nebraska kept battling, recovering an on-side kick to regain another possession, before watching time run out.

Lincoln (Nov. 7) --- Tommy Armstrong’s 30-yard touchdown pass to Brandon Reilly with 17 seconds left lifted Nebraska to a 3938 win over No. 6 Michigan State. Trailing 38-33 and with the ball at its nineyard line with 55 seconds left, Armstrong led the Huskers 91 yards in four plays. He opened the drive with consecutive completions of 28 and 33 yards to Jordan Westerkamp to move the Huskers quickly down the field. Two plays later, he found Reilly, who was pushed out of bounds but recovered for the game-winning score. The win snapped MSU’s 12-game win streak as well as the Spartans 12-game Big Ten road winning streak. The victory was the first by an unranked NU team over a top-10 team since 1977. Armstrong guided the Huskers back from a 12-point deficit in the final two minutes, finishing the night by completing 19-of-33 passes for 320 yards while passing for two touchdowns and rushing for two more. Westerkamp finished with nine catches for 143 yards, while Reilly had three catches for 87 yards, as NU’s 12-point comeback matched the largest fourth-quarter comeback in school history. Nebraska’s ground attack was crucial in the upset, as Imani Cross carried 18 times for 98 yards, while the Huskers rushed for 179 yards against a Spartan defense that was in the top-20 nationally against the run entering the game. Nebraska had pulled to within 38-33 on Armstrong 1-yard run with 1:47 left, but Michigan State recovered the onside kick. The Huskers, who had two timeouts left, forced the Spartans to a three-andout, giving themselves one final opportunity. Michigan State had one last chance, driving to the NU 41-yard line with seven seconds left, but the Husker defense forced Connor Cook to throw an incompletion as time expired. Cook completed 22-of-35 passes for 318 yards and four TDs in the losing effort for MSU.

Piscataway, N.J. (Nov. 14) -- Nebraska jumped to a 21-0 lead in the first half and never looked back in a 31-14 victory over Rutgers at High Point Solutions Stadium. With their second straight win, the Huskers improved to 5-6 overall and 3-4 in the Big Ten, while Rutgers slipped to 3-7 and 1-6 in the conference. The Huskers wasted little time taking control of the game, marching 78 yards in eight plays capped by Cethan Carter’s 32-yard touchdown dash on a tight end reverse on his first career carry. The Blackshirt defense, which played arguably its most complete game of the season, forced Rutgers to three-and-outs on its first two possessions and gave the offense a chance to strike again in the first quarter. Tommy Armstrong Jr. put the Huskers up 14-0 when he found Jordan Westerkamp on a 15-yard touchdown pass to end a fiveplay drive with 2:39 left in the opening quarter. The Blackshirts, which held Rutgers to just 259 yards of total offense on the day, pitched a shutout in the first quarter and the offense struck again early in the second quarter. Taking over on a short field at the 50, Armstrong delivered a home run to Alonzo Moore with a touchdown pass covering 44 yards to put the Big Red up 21-0 with 11:49 left in the half. The defense continued to play well through the first half, until the offense made a pair of mistakes in the final three minutes to allow the Scarlet Knights to stay in the game. With Nebraska driving, Armstrong overthrew Lane Hovey, and Anthony Cioffic returned the interception 51 yards to the NU 6. Three plays later, Rutgers was on the board to cut the Husker lead to 21-7. Two offensive plays later, Armstrong threw a second interception in three passes, which allowed Rutgers to attempt a Hail Mary pass to end the half. The play was defended well by the Big Red and the Huskers went to the locker room up 14. Leading 28-14 heading into the fourth quarter, Drew Brown pushed Nebraska’s margin to three scores with his 44-yard field goal. It was Brown’s eighth consecutive made field goal, with all eight coming from at least 40 yards. The Blackshirts did the rest, notching six big sacks of Laviano on the day, while Nate Gerry’s fourth interception of the season sealed the win with just under a minute left.

Lincoln (Nov. 27) -- The Nebraska football team (5-7, 3-5) dropped its final game of the 2015 regular season with a 28-20 loss to the No. 3 Iowa Hawkeyes. The Hawkeyes improved to 12-0 on the year with the win, marking their first undefeated regular season since 1922. Nebraska’s defense did its best to hold Iowa’s offense in check, as the Blackshirts held Iowa to 0-for-9 on third down, but NU was unable to overcome four turnovers. While Iowa quarterback CJ Beathard was 9-for-16 for 97 yards and one touchdown on the day, Tommy Armstrong Jr. was 25-for45 for 296 yards, but didn’t throw for a touchdown and threw career-high four interceptions. Iowa had its biggest advantage on the ground, as Jordan Canzeri rushed 17 times for 140 yards and two scores. His biggest rush was a 68-yard score in the third quarter that came after Nebraska had cut Iowa’s lead to four. With the game scoreless late in the first quarter, Iowa took over at its own 34 and on second down Freedom Akinmoladun forced a fumble that was recovered by Nate Gerry that would have given the Huskers the ball to NU inside the 40, but the turnover was erased by a Husker penalty prior to the turnover. Iowa took advantage of the second chance and ended a six-play scoring drive with a 10-yard touchdown pass from Beathard to George Kittle and after the PAT the Hawkeyes held a 7-0 lead with 13:50 left in the first half. The Hawkeyes never trailed the rest of the game. Drew Brown added his 10th straight field goal late in the fourth quarter, a 42-yard try that made it a one-score game, but NU was unable to recover the ensuing onside kick and Iowa ran out the clock to secure the win

Pasadena, Calif., Jan. 1, 1941 - Nebraska was only the third Big Six team to play in a postseason bowl game, but the Cornhuskers made their first bowl trip a memorable one with an invitation to the granddaddy of them all — The Rose Bowl. Under the warm California sun in Pasadena, Coach Biff Jones’ Cornhuskers led Clark Shaughnessy’s Stanford Indians twice in the first half, but fell victim to the innovative T-formation, 21-13. The Huskers took a 7-0 lead just six plays after the kickoff when fullback Vike Francis plunged over from the two. Stanford tied the count four plays later when Hugh Gallarneau bolted over from nine yards out. In the second quarter, the Huskers took the lead again on a 33-yard Herm Rohrig-to-Allen Zikmund pass, but the Indians came back on Frankie Albert’s 41-yard TD pass to Gallarneau for a 14-13 halftime lead. A 39-yard TD punt return by Pete Kmetovic iced the game for the Indians in the third quarter. The 92,000 fans on hand made up the largest crowd ever to see Nebraska play until the 2002 Rose Bowl (93,781).

New York, N.Y., Dec. 15, 1962 - Playing under Coach Bob Devaney, Nebraska won its first bowl game in three tries, upsetting Miami and George Mira, 36-34, in the second and last of New York’s now-defunct Gotham Bowl. Playing in Yankee Stadium before only 6,166 fans in freezing weather, the Huskers and Hurricanes put on one of the greatest bowl shows ever, trading scores in every quarter. Willie Ross’ one-yard plunge and Bill “Thunder” Thornton’s subsequent two-point conversion run gave the Huskers a 36-27 lead just minutes into the fourth quarter. Mira, who passed for 321 yards, led a valiant comeback attempt but was thwarted by a last-minute interception by Husker guard Bob Brown.

Dallas, Texas, Jan. 1, 1965 - Coach Frank Broyles' Arkansas Razorbacks mounted an 80-yard fourth quarter drive against a previously impregnable Nebraska defense to down the Huskers, 10-7, in NU's first Dallas appearance. The Huskers had led most of the way in one of the greatest defensive battles in bowl history. Arkansas opened the scoring on a 31-yard Tom McKnelly field goal in the first quarter. Sophomore Harry Wilson then capped a 69-yard Husker march in the second quarter with a one-yard plunge to give Nebraska a 7-3 halftime lead. The Huskers held that lead until Bobby Burnett finished the Arkansas drive with a three-yard TD run with 4:41 left in the game. In the fierce defensive struggle, first downs were even at 11, and the Razorbacks held a slim edge in total offense, 176-168.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1955 - If Nebraska’s first bowl bid was a memorable one, its second was one to forget. The 1954 Cornhuskers finished second behind Oklahoma in the Big Seven race and went to Miami under the no-repeat rule. Making their first bowl appearance in 14 years, Bill Glassford’s Cornhuskers trailed Duke’s Blue Devils at the half, 14-0, but pulled within 14-7 early in the third quarter after a minus two-yard Duke punt. Halfback Don Comstock scored from the three to cap a 35-yard drive. After that, it was all Duke. Coach Bill Murray’s Blue Devils rolled 65 yards to score on their next possession and added two more tallies in the fourth quarter to ice the game, 34-7.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1964 - Nebraska made its second Orange Bowl trip a happier one than the first with a 13-7 win over Auburn in the 1964 Miami classic. The Huskers evened their bowl record with the win and handed Bob Devaney his second bowl win in as many tries. Husker quarterback Dennis Claridge broke the game open before most of the 72,647 fans had settled in their seats. On the Huskers' second play from scrimmage, Claridge bolted 68 yards down the sideline to put NU ahead 7-0. At the time, it was the longest TD run in Orange Bowl history. Moments later, Dave Theisen broke another Orange Bowl record with a 31-yard field goal. The record lasted until the second quarter when Theisen booted a 36-yarder to give NU a 13-0 halftime lead. Auburn quarterback Jimmy Sidle almost brought the Tigers back, but Husker linebacker John Kirby batted a fourth-and-four pass away at the goal line with less than three minutes to go to preserve the win for Nebraska.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1966 - With the national championship riding on the outcome, Coach Bob Devaney's Huskers took on Alabama's Crimson Tide for the first time. Nebraska went into the game 10-0 and ranked third, while Alabama was 8-1-1 and fourth. Earlier in the day, top-ranked Michigan State lost to UCLA in the Rose Bowl and LSU knocked off No. 2 Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl to set up a national title game in the Orange Bowl. Playing in Nebraska's first night bowl game, 'Bama won the title 39-28. The Tide led 24-7 at the half and the game was never in serious doubt, but led by the passing of Bob Churchich, the Huskers fought back and made the final score respectable.

New Orleans, La., Jan. 2, 1967 - Never one to duck a challenge, Coach Bob Devaney and his Huskers accepted a bid for a rematch with Alabama and Bear Bryant in the Sugar Bowl. It turned out to be a little too much of a challenge as No. 3 'Bama handed the No. 6 Huskers a 34-7 thumping. The Tide rolled up a 17-0 first-quarter advantage and led at halftime, 24-0, behind the passing of Kenny Stabler. Sophomore fullback Dick Davis prevented a complete whitewashing with a 15-yard TD catch of a Bob Churchich pass on the first play of the fourth quarter for NU's only score. Churchich sparkled again against the Tide, completing 21-of-34 passes for 201 yards. With the defeat, the Huskers became just the second team in NCAA history, behind Alabama, to hold the dubious distinction of having lost in each of the four major bowls.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1971 - Playing under the lights in Miami's Orange Bowl for the first time in five years, Coach Bob Devaney's Nebraska Cornhuskers won the first of two straight national titles by virtue of a 17-12 win over LSU and some fortunate circumstances. Earlier in the day, top-ranked Texas was upset by Notre Dame, 24-11, in the Cotton Bowl, and No. 2 Ohio State was shocked by Stanford, 27-17, in the Rose Bowl. That left the door to the title wide open for No. 3 Nebraska. The Huskers responded by building a 10-0 first-quarter lead on a 25-yard field goal by Paul Rogers and a three-yard TD run by Joe Orduna. But a pair of Mark Lumpkin FGs and a 31-yard Buddy Lee-to-Al Coffee TD pass on the last play of the third quarter gave the aroused Tigers a 12-10 lead. Nebraska showed its grit by driving 67 yards. Quarterback Jerry Tagge stretched the ball over from the one-yard line with 8:50 left, and the Huskers clinched their first national title.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1973 - Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rodgers went wild, scoring four touchdowns and passing for another, as the Cornhuskers became the first team to win three straight Orange Bowls, romping over Notre Dame, 40-6. In his last game as a Cornhusker, Rodgers was moved to I-back from his usual wingback position, and on the game's first play he took a pitchout for a 13-yard gain. It was a sign of things to come. "Johnny R" capped his career by scoring on runs of eight, four and five yards and caught the Irish defense by surprise with a 52-yard TD pass to Frosty Anderson in the second quarter. He scored the last of his 50 career TDs (including bowls) when he caught a sideline pass from Dave Humm in the third quarter and scampered 50 yards to paydirt. The contest marked the final appearance of Head Coach Bob Devaney on the Husker sideline, as he retired after the season with a 101-20-2 record and two national titles in 11 years at Nebraska.

El Paso, Texas, Dec. 20, 1969 - Golden-toed Paul Rogers booted a Sun Bowl-record four field goals — all in the first quarter — and Coach Bob Devaney's Huskers romped to a 45-6 win over Georgia in the 35th edition of El Paso's Sun Bowl. Rogers booted FGs of 50, 32, 42 and 37 yards, and sophomore I-back Jeff Kinney added a TD run of 11 yards that gave Nebraska an 18-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, and the Huskers were never threatened. For his record-setting effort, Rogers was named the game's outstanding offensive player. The Big Eight co-champion Cornhuskers rolled up a 355-185 total offense advantage over the outmanned Bulldogs. Dan Schneiss led the Husker rushers with 63 yards, and Van Brownson completed 11-of-18 passes for 109 yards. After two years away from the bowl scene, Nebraska started an NCAA record run of 35 consecutive bowl appearances for the Huskers (1969-2003) in the Sun Bowl.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1972 - It was supposed to be another “Game of the Century,” rivaling Nebraska’s 35-31 win over Oklahoma a few weeks earlier. The 12-0 Huskers were No. 1, the 11-0 Alabama Crimson Tide were No. 2, but the Orange Bowl had a dream game for a little less than a quarter. The Huskers struck early on a two-yard TD run by Jeff Kinney before Johnny Rodgers broke the Tide's back with a 77-yard punt return for a touchdown on the last play of the first quarter. The Huskers added two more scores in the second stanza, and by halftime the Huskers left no doubt about who was No. 1, as Nebraska led 28-0. The Huskers continued to dominate and rolled to a 38-6 win, giving Nebraska a second straight national title and Coach Bob Devaney a satisfying first win in three tries over Alabama Coach Bear Bryant.

Dallas, Texas, Jan. 1, 1974 - Tom Osborne’s Nebraska Cornhuskers broke open a tight contest in the third quarter with a pair of game-breaking plays to chalk up a 19-3 win over the Texas Longhorns. The chilled crowd of 67,500 saw the Big Eight’s runner-up and the Southwest Conference champion battle to a 3-3 tie at halftime, thanks to a brilliant Longhorn goal-line stand just before the gun. But the Huskers were not to be denied and midway through the third quarter, safety Bob Thornton returned a Texas field goal try 41 yards to set up the clinching touchdown. Ritch Bahe got the final 12 yards on a reverse to make it 10-3. Four plays later, John Bell recovered a Texas fumble at the Longhorn 19, and Tony Davis ripped in from the three to make it 16-3. Rich Sanger kicked a 43-yard field goal with 8:09 left to complete the scoring. Texas had scored first on a 22-yard field goal by Bill Schott in the wake of a Husker fumble, but early in the second quarter, defensive end Steve Manstedt picked up a Roosevelt Leaks fumble in mid-air and raced 65 yards to the eight. But a stiff Longhorn defense forced a 24-yard field goal by Sanger.

New Orleans, La., Dec. 31, 1974 - Rallying from a 10-0 deficit, Nebraska scored three times in the fourth quarter to win its sixth straight bowl game with a 13-10 defeat of the Florida Gators. Florida scored once in the first quarter and kicked a field goal in the second, while holding Nebraska's usually strong offense to 138 total yards. But in the fourth quarter, Tony Davis, Terry Luck, kicker Mike Coyle and the Blackshirts led Nebraska to victory. Freshman sensation I-back Monte Anthony scored the Huskers' first touchdown with 13:24 left in the game, when he ran straight up the middle for two yards and a score. Coyle's kick was good, and the Huskers trailed 10-7. Davis set up Coyle's two deciding field goals with inspired running, as he picked up 126 yards on 17 carries, including the longest run of the game for 40 yards. For his performance, Davis was named the game's most valuable player, an award he also received in the Cotton Bowl the previous year. Coyle tied the score on a 37-yard boot with 7:13 left in the game, and his 39-yard kick gave the Huskers the win.

Houston, Texas, Dec. 31, 1976 - In the most exciting bowl game of the year, Nebraska edged a determined Texas Tech team, 27-24, in the Astro-Bluebonnet Bowl. Twice Nebraska rallied to overcome 10-point deficits. With Texas Tech ahead 17-7 and time running out in the second quarter, quarterback Vince Ferragamo moved the Cornhuskers 80 yards in less than two minutes to score on a 22-yard touchdown pass to Mark Dufresne. But Texas Tech running back Billy Taylor countered in the third quarter with an eight-yard TD run to open the gap to 24-14. Once again, the Cornhuskers started to work on the Texas Tech lead. Rick Berns broke around the right end and dashed untouched 18 yards into the end zone to put Nebraska within three. The Huskers took the lead when Ferragamo connected with Chuck Malito for a 23-yard touchdown pass. Malito’s touchdown proved to be the final score, but the game was in doubt until Reg Gast recovered a Red Raider fumble with 1:34 left in the game. The fumble killed a Tech threat and allowed Nebraska to run out the clock.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1979 - In the first-ever matchup of Big Eight teams in a bowl game, Nebraska just missed duplicating its 17-14 win over Oklahoma several weeks earlier in losing to the Sooners, 31-24. Nebraska got off to a fast start in trying for an unprecedented double over OU, driving 80 yards in 15 plays after the opening kickoff to take a 7-0 lead on Tom Sorley's 21-yard touchdown pass to Tim Smith. The Huskers then watched the revenge-minded Sooners score 24 unanswered points. Nebraska's rally started with 9:12 left in the game when I-back Rick Berns capped a 78-yard drive with a one-yard touchdown run that reduced the deficit to 31-17. A little more than a minute later, defensive tackle David Clark recovered quarterback Thomas Lott's fumble at the OU 42, and the Huskers were back in the game. Oklahoma's defense yielded 35 yards to the seven, but stiffened to stop I-back Craig Johnson on a fourth-and-one with 4:24 to go to seal the win. The Huskers did march 58 yards in 10 plays to score on a two-yard pass from Sorley to Junior Miller on the final play of the game.

The final blow came with 4:50 remaining in the game, when ASU kicker Dan Kush successfully booted a 29-yard field goal, breaking a 14-14 tie and capping a rally from a 14-6 deficit after three quarters. Fighting to the very end, Nebraska took the ensuing kickoff and drove to the Arizona State 31-yard line with less than two minutes to play. The Huskers' next two plays were incomplete passes, but on third down, quarterback Terry Luck hit fullback Tony Davis with a pass at the ASU 21-yard line. Davis was hit hard by two Arizona State players and fumbled the ball. The Sun Devils recovered, killed the clock and claimed the 17-14 win. Nebraska ended the 1975 season at 10-2 and ranked No. 9 in the country. The Huskers lost their last two games of the year to Oklahoma, 35-10, and Arizona State, which finished 1-2 in the final AP poll.

Memphis, Tenn., Dec. 19, 1977 - Quarterback Randy Garcia came off the bench in the fourth quarter to throw two touchdown passes and rally Nebraska from a 10-point, fourth-quarter deficit to a 21-17 win over North Carolina in the 19th annual Liberty Bowl. Garcia, who replaced starter Tom Sorley, first hit wingback Curtis Craig, who made a sensational diving catch, for a 10-yard touchdown with 10:51 left to cut the Husker deficit to 17-14. Garcia then threw a 34yard scoring pass to Tim Smith with 3:16 left in the game to cap a rally that ended UNC’s upset hopes. The Tar Heels drew first blood early in the second quarter on a 12-yard scoring pass from Matt Kupec to tight end Brooks Williams. After the Huskers tied the game at 7-7 on a 15-yard touchdown run by fullback Dodie Donnell, Kupec threw a 10-yard scoring pass to fullback Bob Loomis late in the half for a 14-7 North Carolina lead at intermission. Carolina appeared to take control at 17-7 late in the third quarter on a 47-yard field goal by Tom Biddle, before Garcia’s heroics brought NU back.

Dallas, Texas, Jan. 1, 1980 - Reserve quarterback Terry Elston threw a six-yard, fourth-down touchdown pass to Eric Herring with just 12 seconds left as Houston handed Nebraska a heartbreaking 17-14 loss in a six-year string of incredible finishes in Husker bowl games. Before a CBS national audience, the Huskers and Cougars battled tooth-and-nail for a full 60 minutes. The goal-line situation at the end was a fitting finale. Nebraska struck first as Jarvis Redwine scored on a nineyard run late in the first period, but Houston responded when Elston scored to knot the game 7-7 at the half. After a scoreless third period, Southwest Conference champion Houston took its first lead of the game on a 41-yard field goal by Ken Hatfield with 8:25 left. The Huskers then forced a Houston fumble and Jeff Quinn found Jeff Finn for the go-ahead touchdown with 3:56 remaining. The next 3:44 were all Elston, as the junior accounted for all but 11 yards in the Cougars' winning 66-yard drive, completing 5-of-7 passes for 45 yards, including three for crucial first downs, and rushing three times for 10 yards.

El Paso, Texas, Dec. 27, 1980 - A great passing performance by senior Jeff Quinn and a stout defensive effort enabled Nebraska to enjoy a successful return to the Sun Bowl by downing Mississippi State, 31-17. The Huskers drew first blood just 2:30 into the game when, on the first play after MSU’s Mardye McDole fumbled a Nebraska punt, split end Todd Brown scored on a 23-yard end-around. NU added 10 points in the second quarter on a 22-yard Kevin Seibel field goal and an eight-yard Quinn-to-Jeff Finn pass to take a 17-0 lead into the locker room at halftime. MSU finally scored in the third quarter on a 47-yard field goal and appeared to be gaining momentum when Husker defensive end Jimmy Williams recovered a fumble at the Bulldog 25 to set up a two-yard touchdown run by Andra Franklin. The Huskers iced the game with a 52-yard Quinn-to-Tim McCrady pass late in the game. For their efforts, Williams and Quinn were named the outstanding players of the 1980 Sun Bowl.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1983 - Nebraska was its own worst enemy for most of the game, but the Huskers pulled out a 21-20 victory over LSU with a strong second half. After jumping out to an early 7-0 lead, NU appeared poised for another score following an interception. But Nebraska turned the ball right back over to set up a tying Tiger touchdown. The Huskers then fumbled the ball away at the LSU 15, forced a punt and fumbled it at their own 45 to set up another LSU score. Then NU threw an interception and was thankful to be down only 14-7 at halftime. The second half did not start out any better, as NU missed a field goal and fumbled again to set up a field goal that gave LSU a 17-7 lead. But down 10 points, the Husker offense came alive, driving 80 yards in 12 plays to score on an 11-yard pass from Turner Gill to Mike Rozier, and going 47 yards in seven plays to regain the lead, 2117, early in the fourth quarter on a one-yard run by Gill. Another interception set up an LSU field goal that cut the margin to 21-20. But the Husker offense sealed the win by eating up the final 5:05.

New Orleans, La., Jan. 1, 1985 - Senior quarterback Craig Sundberg closed out his career in grand style, as he led the Huskers back from a 10-0 first-half deficit to a 28-10 win over Louisiana State in the 51st annual Sugar Bowl. LSU scored on two of its first three possessions to grab the early lead, but after a rocky start, the Sundberg-led NU offense put up 28 unanswered points. Two of the Huskers’ four touchdowns were set up by a defense that forced six Tiger turnovers, including five interceptions. Doug DuBose helped spark Nebraska with a 102-yard rushing effort, but it was Sundberg who provided most of the punch and was named the game’s most valuable player. Starting for the first time since arm trouble knocked him out of the starting lineup at midseason, Sundberg completed 10-of-15 passes for 143 yards, threw for three touchdowns and ran for the go-ahead score on a nine-yard sprint 6:46 into the second half. Sundberg’s three touchdown passes tied a Nebraska bowl record. Two of those scoring tosses went to tight end Todd Frain, tying another NU bowl mark.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1982 - The battle between topranked Clemson and No. 4 Nebraska was for the national title as No. 2 Georgia and No. 3 Alabama lost their bowl games. The dream of a third national title in 12 years was not to be for the Huskers, as their own errors and standout performances by Clemson quarterback Homer Jordan and the Tiger defense gave the South Carolina school its first national title and a 12-0 season with a 22-15 victory. The Tigers scored first on a 41-yard field goal to take a 3-0 lead, but NU came back and took a 7-3 lead midway through the first quarter on a 25-yard TD pass from I-back Mike Rozier to wingback Anthony Steels. The opportunistic Tigers then took advantage of Husker errors to score 19 unanswered points and led 22-7 after three periods. Early in the fourth quarter, the Huskers came back on a 26-yard scoring run and a twopoint conversion by Roger Craig, cutting the margin to 22-15. But an eighth untimely penalty stopped another promising drive moments later, and the elusive Jordan ate up all but six seconds of the last 5:24.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 2, 1984 - In one of the most exciting bowl games ever played, No. 4 Miami overcame two rallies from double-digit deficits from No. 1 Nebraska to win the national championship. The game was decided when strong safety Ken Calhoun knocked Turner Gill's two-point PAT pass out of Jeff Smith's hands with 48 seconds left in the game, preserving a 31-30 home-field win for Miami. Behind Bernie Kosar, Miami jumped to a quick 17-0 first-quarter lead and never trailed. The Huskers rallied to score two second-quarter touchdowns, then tied the game early in the second half on a Scott Livingston field goal, but Miami scored twice in a five-minute span later in the third period to put the visitors in a 31-17 hole. Jeff Smith came in for injured Heisman Trophy winner Mike Rozier and rushed for 99 yards and two touchdowns, the second, a 24-yarder on fourth-and-eight, to get the Huskers within 31-30. Coach Tom Osborne eschewed the PAT kick, and a tie that would have assured Nebraska the national title, and decided to go for it all. But, thanks to Calhoun, Gill, Smith and Osborne came up just short.

Tempe, Ariz., Jan. 1, 1986 - After building a 14-3 halftime lead, Nebraska self-destructed in the third quarter and was never able to recover completely in dropping a 27-23 decision to Michigan in the Sunkist Fiesta Bowl. The Huskers used a pair of second-quarter touchdowns by I-back Doug DuBose to take the lead, but a fumble on the third play of the second half set up a 21-yard Wolverine touchdown drive that cut the NU margin to 14-10. Nebraska fumbled again on the second play after the ensuing kickoff, setting up a 38-yard touchdown drive that put Michigan up for good, 17-14. Nebraska’s next drive stalled after one first down, and the Wolverines blocked Dan Wingard’s punt, recovering it at the NU six-yard line. The Nebraska defense held, and a 19-yard Pat Moons field goal made it 20-14 Michigan, 8:18 into the second half. Later in the period, the Maize and Blue took advantage of two pass interference penalties to score another touchdown to build what proved to be an insurmountable 27-14 lead.

New Orleans, La., Jan. 1, 1987 - Louisiana State had a 66-yard touchdown drive in the first three minutes of the contest and another 66-yard touchdown drive in the last three minutes of the game. In between, Nebraska dominated the Tigers by running off 30 unanswered points to post a 30-15 win in the USF&G Sugar Bowl, the Huskers’ 25th bowl appearance. Between those two Tiger drives, Nebraska gained 334 yards to LSU’s 59, and had a first-down advantage of 22-3. The Huskers made a remarkable recovery from a disheartening loss to Oklahoma at the end of the regular season and posted Nebraska’s fourth bowl win over LSU in as many tries and the third in five years. Steve Taylor became the second Nebraska quarterback in three years to win the Miller-Digby Trophy as the Sugar Bowl MVP. He completed 11-of-19 passes for 110 yards and one touchdown and rushed 20 times for 63 yards and another score. Of Taylor’s 173 total offensive yards, 90 came in two drives in which the Huskers went from a 7-3 deficit to a 17-7 lead.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 2, 1989 - Second-ranked Miami’s quickness, particularly on defense, proved to be too much for No. 6 Nebraska, as the Hurricanes dominated the Huskers, 23-3. Despite the win and a final 11-1 record, the Hurricanes were unable to lay claim to a second straight national title, which went to undefeated Notre Dame. Although the Nebraska defense held the Miami offense to 354 total-offense yards, nearly 100 yards less than its season average, the Huskers never could get untracked against the Hurricanes’ second-ranked defense. After leading the nation in rushing at 382.3 yards per game during the regular season, NU managed only 80 yards rushing against Miami and finished with 10 first downs. NU needed a career-long 50-yard field goal by Gregg Barrios to capitalize on its only serious scoring threat. Early in the third quarter, Tahaun Lewis picked off a pass and returned it to the Miami 37. But the Huskers had to settle for Barrios’ field goal, which prevented Nebraska’s first shutout since the 1973 season.

Orlando, Fla., Jan. 1, 1991 - Despite a second-quarter rally, Nebraska was unable to overcome a 21-0 deficit as the Huskers fell to undefeated Georgia Tech, 4521, in the Florida Citrus Bowl. The Yellow Jackets finished 11-0-1 with the victory and edged Colorado for the UPI national title, while the Buffaloes, who had beaten NU, 27-12, in November, claimed the AP crown. Two freshmen gave Husker fans a ray of hope after Tech took a three-touchdown lead. All-Big Eight tight end Johnny Mitchell hauled in a 30-yard touchdown pass from Tom Haase, then I-back Derek Brown sprinted 50 yards to cut the margin to 21-14 with 5:07 left in the half. But that was as close as Nebraska would get, and running back William Bell’s two fourth-quarter touchdowns sealed the Huskers’ fate. Mitchell finished the game with five receptions for an NU bowl record 138 yards, while Brown rushed for 99 yards, and Haase came off the bench to complete 14-of-21 passes for 209 yards and two touchdowns.

Tempe, Ariz., Jan. 1, 1988 - Florida State quarterback Danny McManus hit Ronald Lewis with a 15-yard, fourthdown touchdown pass with 3:07 left in the game to give Florida State a 31-28 win over Nebraska. The TD pass capped a 97-yard touchdown drive by the Seminoles, who had taken over at their three-yard line with 6:58 to go when a fumble kept the Huskers from putting the game away. It was a frustrating day for Nebraska, which jumped to a 14-0 first-quarter lead on a short drive set up by a Richard Bell punt return, and a 52-yard punt return touchdown by Dana Brinson. The Husker defense held FSU to just 82 yards on the ground, including only 28 yards by standout tailback Sammie Smith. But McManus threw for 375 yards, his career high by 100 yards. He was named the offensive player of the game, while Husker tackle Neil Smith earned defensive honors. Even after Florida State took the late lead, the Huskers almost rallied, but Steve Taylor’s 58-yard pass to Morgan Gregory that advanced NU to the Seminole two-yard line was called back because of a penalty.

Tempe, Ariz., Jan. 1, 1990 - Fifth-ranked Florida State rode the arm of quarterback Peter Tom Willis and the talents of a bevy of quick, talented receivers to a 41-17 win over No. 6 Nebraska in the 19th Sunkist Fiesta Bowl. NU had the lead twice in the first half after driving 69 yards for a touchdown on their first possession, and taking a 10-7 lead on a field goal in the second period. From then on, it was all FSU. The Seminoles scored touchdowns on five of their next seven possessions to build a 41-10 lead at the end of three quarters. In the process, Willis had the best passing day ever against NU in a bowl game, completing 25-of-40 passes for 422 yards and five touchdowns. For the second straight year, the Huskers faced a bowl opponent that was probably the best team in the nation, but had virtually no hope of winning the national title because of untimely defeats early in the year. FSU lost its first two games in 1989 to Southern Mississippi and Clemson, then roared back to win its last 10, including a 24-10 victory over eventual No. 1 Miami.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1992 - No. 1-ranked Miami, playing on its home field for at least a share of its fourth national title in nine years, used overwhelming team speed and a smothering defense to blank Nebraska, 22-0. It was the Cornhuskers’ first shutout defeat in 221 games since the 1973 season. The win left the Hurricanes 12-0 on the season with a split national title, joining a 12-0 Washington team that beat Nebraska, 36-21, at Lincoln in September. The Hurricanes were No. 1 in the Associated Press poll, while the Huskies claimed the top spot in the USA Today/CNN Coaches poll. It was the second straight year for a split title, and for the second straight year Nebraska, 9-2-1, lost to both teams involved, having been defeated by Colorado and Georgia Tech the previous season. Miami held Nebraska to 82 rushing yards after the Huskers had won the NCAA rushing title in the regular season at 353.2 yards per game.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1993 - The Seminoles scored 20 straight points to open the game and cruised to a 2714 victory. Nebraska had missed on two field goal opportunities, while Florida State was good on two attempts. After Nebraska stalled on its first possession of the second half, the Seminoles put together an 85-yard drive to go up 27-7. That would prove to be FSU’s last score, as the Husker defense forced the Seminoles to punt on all of their five remaining possessions. Tommie Frazier connected with Gerald Armstrong on a one-yard pass with 10 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter to pull within 13, but two interceptions thwarted the comeback bid. The No. 11 Huskers turned the ball over three times after leading the nation in turnover margin during the regular season. NU was limited to 144 yards rushing after leading the nation in that category during the regular season. NU dropped to 9-3 on the season and finished 14th in the final polls, its 24th consecutive year finishing in the AP top 25. FSU finished second to Alabama in the rankings.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1995 - Behind a pair of fourthquarter touchdown runs by fullback Cory Schlesinger, No. 1 Nebraska defeated third-ranked Miami, 24-17, to capture its first national title since 1971. The title was the first for NU Head Coach Tom Osborne, whose teams fell just short in the 1982, 1984 and 1994 Orange Bowls. After spotting the Hurricanes a 10-0 advantage at the end of the first quarter, the Huskers trailed 10-7 at half following a second-quarter Brook Berringer 19yard touchdown pass to Mark Gilman. Miami extended the margin to 17-7 on a 44-yard touchdown pass five plays into the third quarter, but would not score again. On Miami’s next possession, Dwayne Harris sacked Frank Costa for a safety. In the fourth quarter, Schlesinger scored from 15 yards out and NU converted its two-point try to tie the game at 17-17. After forcing a three-and-out on Miami’s next possession, Nebraska marched 58 yards on six plays before Schlesinger’s 14-yard score gave the Huskers a 24-17 lead. Kareem Moss ended any Hurricane comeback hopes with an interception.

Miami, Fla., Dec. 31, 1996 - Nebraska used strong performances from I-back Damon Benning and quarterback Scott Frost to down 10th-ranked Virginia Tech, 41-21. The sixth-ranked Huskers picked up their third straight bowl victory, as Benning rushed for 95 yards and scored on touchdown runs of 33 and six yards. The Hokies led 7-0 after the first quarter, before Nebraska scored 17 straight points. Kris Brown’s 25-yard field goal cut the Hokie lead to 7-3, before Scott Frost scored on a five-yard touchdown run. The NU defense pushed the margin to 17-7 after Jason Peter recovered a fumble and raced 31 yards for a touchdown. Jim Druckenmiller threw a pair of touchdown passes to close the gap to 24-21 midway through the third quarter before NU scored the final 17 points. Benning scored on a six-yard run, while Brown added a 37-yard field goal before a 22-yard touchdown run by Frost with three minutes left clinched the victory.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 1, 1994 - Nebraska came up just short against Florida State, losing 18-16 in the final seconds of the national title game. NU entered the game ranked first in the coaches poll, while FSU was No. 1 in the AP poll. Nebraska had a punt return for a touchdown called back, but the Huskers still led 7-6 at the half on the strength of a Tommie Frazier 34-yard touchdown pass to Reggie Baul.In the third quarter, FSU scored on a one-yard TD run and followed with a 39-yard field goal for a 15-7 lead. NU answered when Lawrence Phillips scored from 12 yards out on the first play of the fourth quarter to make it 15-13. Late in the fourth quarter, Frazier sprinted down to the FSU 4, setting up a Byron Bennett 27-yard field goal that put NU on top 16-15 with 1:16 remaining. FSU Heisman Trophy winner Charlie Ward then led the Seminoles downfield, and Scott Bentley kicked a 22-yard field goal with 21 seconds left to give FSU an 18-16 lead. Frazier came right back and hit Trumane Bell for a 29yard gain and the Huskers were able to call timeout with one second remaining to set up a game-winning 45-yard field goal attempt that sailed wide left.

Tempe, Ariz., Jan. 2, 1996 - In one of the greatest performances in college football history, top-ranked Nebraska became only the second team ever to post perfect back-to-back national championship seasons with a 62-24 victory over No. 2 Florida. The 38-point margin was the second largest in a No. 1 vs. No. 2 showdown. The Huskers trailed 10-6 at the end of the first period before striking for 29 unanswered points in the second quarter. Lawrence Phillips’ 42-yard score gave NU a 13-10 advantage. Jamel Williams then sacked Danny Wuerffel for a safety and NU added an Ahman Green touchdown run on the ensuing possession. After Kris Brown’s field goal made it 25-10, Michael Booker intercepted a Wuerffel pass and returned it 42 yards for a touchdown, giving the Huskers a 32-10 cushion. Brown’s second field goal of the quarter extended the lead to 35-10 at halftime. Tommie Frazier scored on a pair of long touchdowns in the second half - including a 75-yard TD run - to finish with 199 yards rushing. NU rushed for an NCAA bowlrecord 524 yards in the performance and held Florida to minus-28 yards on the ground.

Miami, Fla., Jan. 2, 1998 - Nebraska sent Tom Osborne out on top in his final game as head coach, as the Huskers defeated Tennessee, 42-17, giving Coach Osborne his third undefeated national championship season in four years. In a showdown between two of the top offenses in the nation, the Husker defense would steal the spotlight early, forcing a pair of Vol turnovers that led directly to touchdowns. Ahman Green opened the scoring from one yard out, before Shevin Wiggins’ 10-yard TD run. Leading 14-3 at halftime, Nebraska exploded for 21 points in the third quarter. The Huskers used a strong ground game to take control in the decisive quarter. Frost opened the period with touchdown runs of one and 11 yards, before Green scored from 22 yards out.
