Week 3 v Houston Christian: Depth Chart, Game Notes, etc

[SOHusker11]

For Nebraska in 1986 finishing 5th was shitty though 🤣. What people are referring too was the last minute loss to Barry Switzer's #3 OU while wearing the All-Reds. ☠️

I think you hit on at least part of the reason for the high expectations back then with the preseason #1. NU would start the season with a high ranking and a lot of promise and then for whatever reason it wouldn't work out in the end thus the frustration from the fans.

The best way I can relate it to the younger guys is these last few years it was this is the year we are going to make it to a bowl game again, well back then it was National Championships 🙁.

It was pretty rare prior to the Callahan years for us not to be a top 10 team, especially entering a season.

I miss the days when we could complain that we were a much better team than #9 going into the year and people were going to be surprised. Now we get nine votes for #25.

I love them. I also love the all whites. My only issue with the all reds is not sure its a wise choice on a day when it's going be 95 degrees.

Tell that to our now deceased (RIP Mike Peterson) TO Haas Legion Coach who decided one summer that we were going to go:

Black Hats
Black Jerseys
Black Pants
Black Socks
White Stirrups
Black Shoes

Those things were so damn hot!!! Looked sharp though.
