I truly believe that all Nebraska schoolchildren, when they go through their Nebraska history and social studies coursework in the fourth grade should be required to memorize Lyle Bremser’s legendary call of Johnny “the Jet” Rodgers tearing ’em loose from their shoes.
As they learn the proper Bremser cadence, they should also learn about the legendary Jet himself: All conference three times. All-America twice. Two time national champion. One time owner of 41 school records. Heisman Trophy. And one of the few players to defeat the Heisman bowl game curse, as he scored five touchdowns (three rushes, a reception, and a 52 yard pass) in a romp over Notre Dame in the Orange Bowl.
