We sent alot of players to the NFL..just not QB’s
The thing I liked best about the huskers was their ability to stomp teams with “superior” players of “superior” talent. I especially loved the tennessee vs nebraska game that I think was osborn’s last game...but I could be wrong. The tennessee quarterback went on to be a bigshot in the NFL. But he couldn’t do a dam thing against nebraska. I loved that game.
When they fired solich, all that went out the window. Never again will the huskers be a team of regualar farm boys that beat the “talented” teams.
Also, it used to be that the sports commentators always criticized nebraska and talked like they didn’t deserve the rankings they got. That’s part of what made me like nebraska. Everyone would say how the huskers just got lucky and then every time they would kick a$$ again. It was hilarious! Then about 10-15 years ago, the commentators started talking up the huskers like they had been husker fans all along.
If you havn't figured it out by now, I was a huge devaney-osborn fan. Sadly, my beloved husker spirit is dead and gone forever. Until they bring back the option and running plays and start showing preference to local and semi local kids in recruiting, I don't care if they never win another game.
