Jerry Tagge was the quarterback on the first two National Championship teams in school history (1970 and 1971).  Like Frazier, all Tagge did was win, compiling a stellar record as a starting quarterback, and playing his best games on the biggest stages.  In the 1971 Orange Bowl against LSU, Tagge was an impressive 12 of 15 passing against one of the nation’s best defenses.  It was his QB sneak from the one yard line that clinched the championship.

Tagge earned All Big 8 and All-America honors after the 1971 season, and finished seventh in the Heisman Trophy voting.  Although his accomplishments may have been overshadowed by those of Frazier and other famous Husker QBs, Tagge should be remembered for setting the standard of excellence.

Barron Miles was a play maker.  An excellent cornerback, Miles had a knack for the ball and always seemed in position to make a big play.  Over his career, he had seven blocked kicks, 19 pass break ups (including six in one game) and numerous “wow” moments.  My favorite Baron Miles moment was in 1993 at Oklahoma State.  The Cowboys were punting from their own end zone when Miles came streaking in for the block.  He ended up catching the ball just off the foot of the punter and rolling onto the turf with a momentum shifting touchdown.

Probably the best receiver in the first 80 years of college football.  

He was someone I didn't know existed until doing a ton of research - amazing stats!!!

unfortunately, he followed Steve Taylor and only had one season to shine.


Gerry Gdowski completed 12 of 15 passes for career highs of 225 yards and four touchdowns as Nebraska topped archrival Oklahoma, 42-25.

Nebraska scored on its first four possessions en route to a 25-18 halftime lead. The Huskers pulled away in the third quarter with a pair of touchdown passes while the Sooners went scoreless during the period, thanks in part to Tahaun Lewis’ interception of an OU pass inside the Nebraska 25.

In leading the Huskers to their most points ever against the Sooners in Memorial Stadium, Gdowski set a Nebraska season record with 204.6 total-offense yards per game. I-back Ken Clark, meanwhile, became the 11th player in Big Eight history to top 3,000 rushing yards, finishing at 3,037.

Two of Oklahoma’s three touchdowns were set up by trick “fumbleroosky” plays, with guard Mike Sawatzky running the ball for gains of 16 and 6 yards after scooping up intentional fumbles.

The win was the Huskers’ 103rd in the 1980s, tying Alabama’s NCAA record for wins in a decade.
