Great number for a WR:

Nebraska Huskers on Twitter: "2️⃣ time All-Big Eight ☠️ Member of 3rd  ranked 1982 Blackshirt defense DE Tony Felici - 🗞️:  https://t.co/T7437G7dvS #WalkOnWednesday https://t.co/WFhXdvnCpE" / Twitter

Tony Felici was a relatively small defensive end, even by the standards of the early 80s – his playing weight was listed as 205 – but that did not stop him from being a presence on the defensive line. An Omaha native, the two-time All Big 8 pick, he recorded 14 sacks and made numerous tackles for loss.

Nebraska beats No. 20 Michigan 23-9; Denard Robinson hurt - al.com

One of my favorite positions to watch is the wedge breaker on kickoffs. He’s the guy right in the middle of the field whose job it is to run as fast as he can and explode through the return team’s blockers. Eric Martin was one of my all time favorites to watch. He had a big body and was like a locomotive coming down the field. There are countless examples of him absolutely blowing up return men and blockers, including a rather infamous hit against Okie State.

His record of 205 rushing yards from the fullback position will likely never be broken (or probably even challenged).  He earned All Big 8 honors in his senior season.  All of that from a guy who looked more like a band member than a fullback.

Frank Solich -- HuskerMax™
Huskers – Makovicka Physical Therapy

Makovicka was a multi-year starter, academic standout, and the embodiment of everything good about the storied walk-on program.

native son, fullback, walk-on, tough, never-say-die attitude – Plus, how could you not love a player who made this run.

Husker History Highlights - April 27, 2023

One of the greatest in a long line of Nebraska I Backs to come out of Omaha Central, Calvin Jones was a star in the Husker backfield.  He was All Big 8 as a sophomore and junior, and was a finalist for the Doak Walker award.

Jones will always be remembered for his record-setting performance at Kansas in 1991.  He took over for an injured teammate and ran 27 times for a (then) school record 294 yards and six touchdowns.

NO. 44 DICK LEBEAU


Born in London, just 30 miles west of Ohio State’s campus, Dick LeBeau played both halfback and cornerback for legendary coach Woody Hayes. He scored two touchdowns in a 31-14 win over Michigan in 1957, which propelled the Buckeyes to the 1957 national championship.
