Soph. Joe Walker may not have had a great day defending Troy Edwards that day, but he did have a 99 yard kickoff return for TD!
I named the image "edwards400"

goldpants  CLOSE THE GATES OF MERCY

That was his nickname, and FRANCIS SCHMIDT earned it by running up the score with a dazzling offense. Even though he coached his way into college football’s HALL OF FAME, few Nebraska fans seem aware of this innovative and eccentric FORMER CORNHUSKER.

“Schmidt’s teams did everything with the football but turn it inside out,” a Pittsburgh columnist once wrote. “Double and triple laterals sped in all directions. Forward passes filled the air. There were spreads that defied the imagination.”


At NU, 1906


At Arkansas

At TCU
Schmidt’s handiwork did far more than turn sportswriters agog. Sid Gillman, considered the father of the modern passing game, called Schmidt his greatest influence. And the I formation is said to be Schmidt's creation.
This left out the most important thing that Francis Schmidt did. As the new coach of the Buckeyes in 1934, he was asked about beating UM and he made the comment that they put their pants on one leg at a time just like we do.  They ended up beating UM 34-0 that season and all the players were given a gold pants charm and the tradition was started that every player who beats Michigan get the gold pants.

He must've known about UM's talent exodus.  Easy to be prophetic when you know something most everyone else doesn't.

I was there.  It was hot, muggy, Edwards also had some nice kick returns.  He looked like he was going to collapse and die after the game.  They still lost by 29.  Rattay threw for 590.

1922 HUSKERS’ BRAWN BEATS NOTRE DAME’S FINESSE


Jack Best, trainer

JACK BEST
Before kickoff, fans paid tribute to Jack Best, Nebraska’s beloved athletic trainer and a fixture on campus since 1888. It was no secret that the big-hearted Englishman hadn’t much longer to live.
As the Omaha World-Herald described it:

He was carried to the sidelines in an automobile decorated in Nebraska colors. The sight of the Grand Old Man brought the immense crowd to its feet and the stands thundered out:
“He’s the man.
“Who’s the man?
“He’s a Nebraska man — Jack Best!”
And it was then that the old trainer, with tears in his eyes, doffed his hat and waved a response to the throng.
Then the game. Jack said it was great. To see his boys triumph over their ancient enemy!

Best’s presence in the locker room before the game was said to be an inspiration to the players that afternoon.
Best died less than two months later at age 77. Classes at the university were canceled the afternoon of services, which were attended by more than 2,000 at the Armory. For more than 20 years ending in 1949, the Jack Best Trophy was awarded to the top fraternity in intramural athletics.
