Game of the Century highlights – Kinney running through the Sooner secondary with his tear-away jersey hanging on for dear life.  And while that game (171 yards and four touchdowns) is arguably the pinnacle of his career, it doesn’t begin to explain Kinney’s greatness.

Kinney burst onto the scene as a sophomore, leading the team in rushing, receiving, and scoring.  Kinney was All Big 8, All America, and academic All America in 1971.  Nebraska won two national titles with Kinney in the Husker backfield, and when he left, Kinney held the NU career records for rushing yards and touchdowns.

A friend of mine that I tailgate with......... LB Steve Damkroger



1982 (Senior)
Steve Damkroger closed his career as Nebraska's all-time leader in assisted tackles with 157 and fourth in total tackles with 269. He led NU for the second straight year in tackles with 79 stops on the year. His best game as a senior was against Colorado when he made seven tackles and set up a pair of Husker TDs with the only two TDs of his career. He also matched his career-high of 13 tackles against Missouri.

1981 (Junior)
Damkroger led the Huskers in tackles with 116 and was named a second-team All-Big Eight performer. He led a Blackshirt defense that ranked first in the nation in pass defense (100.1 yards per game), and led the Big Eight in every defensive category. Damkroger averaged 10.5 tackles per game, with a 13-tackle performance against Florida State his top tackle day of the season. He led all tacklers with 11 stops including nine solo tackles in the 1982 Orange Bowl vs. Clemson.

Trev Alberts was an excellent, excellent player.  His 1993 season (Butkus Award, All-America, Big Eight Player of the Year, school record 15 sacks, and so much more) still stands as one of the greatest campaigns by a Blackshirt.  I’ll never forget how strong he was.  Several times, he appeared to be blocked, or the quarterback was about to escape, but Alberts would grab him with one arm and pull him down.  He may be polarizing after he left NU, but there is no doubt that he is one of the all time greats.
