Vahe Gregorian of the St.Louis Post-Dispatch takes us on a lovely stroll down memory lane…
For nearly 30 years, Nebraska football was a fearsome benchmark for excellence in college football.
Fashioned on punishing defense, a rugged running game, a fabled walk-on program and remarkable continuity on the coaching staff, the Cornhuskers won five national titles and never lost as many as four games in a season from 1969 to 1997.
Then the ugly facts come crashing in. Like this: Nebraska has not won the Big 12 North since 1999.
