Well, OK, if I am honest about that, 1995 Nebraska would have given them a good shot.

Oddball fact (if true):  '83 Nebraska attempted only 4 FG all season.  
They also had 4 different kickers make an extra point.

true, and only 36 punts in 13 games

with a record setting offense there weren't many 4th downs.

Heck converted 92/152 Third-downs

Texas did have a great defense that year, for sure, but Husker offenses look potent to me and difficult to defend.
I could list the 9 NCAA records tied or broken by that offense

Dale was from Seward, lived 3 floors above me in Harper Hall in 82.  My roommate on 6th floor was from Seward.  Partied quite a bit with Dale.
