Minor thread hijack--

But it says "Countdown" and not "Jersey Countdown"...

When I think of "77" I can't help but think of LSU's home opener against Rice in 1977.....a 77-0 win that saw Carlos Carson, who had never caught a collegiate pass, catch 5, all for TD's.  Amazingly, the streak continued the next week against Florida when his first reception was also for a TD.  I know for a long time that stood as an NCAA record, 6 consecutive receptions, all for TDs.  I think it still might, but I can't find any sites that list that specific category. 

The week before Rice, LSU lost to Indiana in Bloomington.  They shoulda thrown the ball to Carson. 

A three-year letterman, Joel Wilks was the starting left guard for the national champion Huskers in 1994, leading the Big Red with 142 pancakes (knock-down blocks), an average of 11.8 per game. Nebraska led the nation in rushing offense (340.0 ypg), while ranking fifth in total offense (477.8 ypg) and sixth in scoring (36.3 ppg). Wilks and the offensive line helped the Huskers rally for a 24-17 win over Miami in the Orange Bowl to claim the national title by outscoring the Hurricanes 15-0 in the fourth quarter. He played in 23 regular-season games in his career and the 1994 and 1995 Orange Bowls. He started 13 regular-season games and the 1995 Orange Bowl.

1994 (Senior)
Wilks started all 12 regular-season games for the Huskers at left guard, before switching spots with All-American Brendan Stai at right guard to start Nebraska’s 24-17 win over Miami in the Orange Bowl to help the Big Red capture the national title. The 6-3, 280-pound Wilks led Nebraska’s “Pipeline” with 142 pancake blocks on the season.

1993 (Junior)
Wilks missed the first five games of the 1993 season with a severe ankle sprain, but returned to play in the last six contests, including his first career start against Iowa State when left guard Rob Zatechka was limited with an ankle spring. Wilks saw extensive actions against Colorado, Kansas and Iowa State. He also played in the 1994 Federal Express Orange Bowl against Florida State. The former walk-on from Hastings, Neb., helped the Huskers rank third in the NCAA in rushing with 287.9 yards per game, fifth in scoring (38.3 ppg) and 23rd in total offense (425.0 ypg).
