The group had a private dinner on Friday evening and were honored on the field at halftime of the Nebraska-Texas game. The 1970 team won the first of Nebraska’s five national championships. Led by Coach Bob Devaney, the Huskers finished 11-0-1, and captured the Associated Press title. Despite an undefeated record, Nebraska needed to win its bowl game and have both Texas and Ohio State lose to jump from third to first in the Associated Press poll. The Huskers took care of business with a 17-12 win over LSU in the Orange Bowl and both the Longhorns and Buckeyes lost their bowl games, allowing Nebraska to move to the No. 1 spot and claim its first-ever national title. The Huskers shared the crown that season with Texas, who was the No. 1 team in the United Press International (UPI) poll. That final poll was voted on before the bowl season, when the undefeated Longhorns fell to No. 6 Notre Dame, 24-11, in the Cotton Bowl.
