Corny Greene, Archie Griffin and Pete Johnson ran one helluva triple option.

John Hicks was the original Orlando Pace, paving the way for them.

11-1 vs Big Ten teams, yes.
But it was usually a top-5 Husker team vs unranked Minnesota (4x) or IU.  Wisconsin beat them and had a close loss.

I assume the all-big 8 team would be 90% Huskers and Sooners for any given decade....
