When first year head football coach Bob Devaney came to Nebraska in 1962, the 25-13 win at Michigan put the Cornhusker football program back on the college football map. The game was played at the Big House in Ann Arbor in front of 70,287 fans. Nebraska would go on to post a 9-2 record that included a win over Miami in the Gotham Bowl. But Michigan wouldn't fare quite as well. The Wolverines would have a disappointing 2-7 record. Matt Rhule doesn't get the luxury of playing a weak Michigan team this Saturday in LIncoln. No way, Wade. Michigan (4-0) is undefeated and ranked number two in the co...

Sixty-one years ago, Bob Devaney took Husker AD Tippy Dye's offer to be the head football coach at Nebraska. It took some coaxing by Michigan State's head man Duffy Daugherty. "You can win there," he told Devaney. But Bob's decision still probably wasn't an easy one. He had turned around the Wyoming program. Took them to bowl games. So why would he want to risk coming to Nebraska? Maybe it was because he knew if he could win at Wyoming, he could probably win anywhere. But prior to 1962, Nebraska with few exceptions was a college football doormat. True to Daugherty's words, Devaney built a lose...

The Huskers’ climb to college football’s mountaintop required a reboot along the way Coach Bob Devaney took Nebraska football from the poorhouse to the penthouse, and fans saw the lion’s share of that remarkable turnaround unfold during the team’s fifth decade in Memorial Stadium. The growing stadium hosted a steady stream of All-America players and Big Eight champion teams. Ten years earlier, nobody in Lincoln had any business dreaming of a national championship, but Nebraska won two of them, vaulting the Huskers firmly into a place among the nation’s elite. Born during this time were signatu...

Husker football was stuck in neutral or worse. But then along came Bob Devaney. This 10-year span in Memorial Stadium, much like the one before it, saw Cornhusker football failing to maintain anything more than sporadic success. But this time, there was light at the end of the tunnel, and it was no mere glimmer. Coach Bill Glassford survived a player rebellion after the 1953 season and got Nebraska to the 1955 Orange Bowl with all-conference players Bob Smith at fullback, Charles Bryant at guard and Don Glantz at tackle. After Glassford’s exit from coaching and Pete Elliot’s one-and-done stint...

Nobody could do what The Jet could do at Nebraska ... but he had some help. Special teams woes for Nebraska have been something we've all felt a lot over the last few years... but what if I told you that it wasn't always so, for lack of a better word, woeful? For you young-uns out there, there was once a man named Johnny "The Jet" Rodgers. You've probably heard your grandpa argue with your dad about who was the greatest player of all time - Johnny or Tommie (they're both wrong, it was Suh). If you haven't already, google "Johnny Rodgers makes Oklahoma look silly" or some variation of that and ...
