#35 might be the most honored number in Husker history

Ed Weir was a dominant offensive tackle for the Cornhuskers and was a driving force behind NU's 14-7 victory over Notre Dame's legendary "Four Horsemen" on Nov. 10, 1923 in the third game ever played inside Nebraska's Memorial Stadium. He helped Coach Fred Dawson's club to a third consecutive Missouri Valley Conference title in 1923.

From 1922 to 1924, Notre Dame's "Four Horsemen" posted a 27-2-1 record, with their only losses coming to Nebraska, and legendary Notre Dame Coach Knute Rockne called Weir "the greatest tackle I ever saw."

Weir helped christen Nebraska's new home as a sophomore with an impressive 24-0 victory over Oklahoma on Oct. 13, 1923. A two-time football captain for the Huskers in 1924 and 1925, Weir provided another enduring link to college football history when he led Nebraska to a 14-0 victory over Red Grange at Illinois. Weir and the Huskers kept Grange out of the end zone at home for the only time during Grange's career.

Jeff Kinney

Scored four of Nebraska's five touchdowns in the Game of the Century
Somebody named Johnny Rodgers scored the other one with the famous punt return.

Jeff Kinney lettered at Nebraska in 1969, '70, and '71 and was the starting halfback on the National Championship teams in 1970 and '71. Jeff went on to play four years with the Kansas City Chiefs and one year with the Buffalo Bills.
