These are some things we cannot change, avoid or escape.

preparation for it.

    The Following Players Comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set

    COLLEGE FOOTBALL GREAT TEAMS OF THE PAST 2 SET ROSTER The following players comprise the College Football Great Teams 2 Card Set. The regular starters at each position are listed first and should be used most frequently. Realistic use of the players below will generate statistical results remarkably similar to those from real life. IMPORTANT: When a Red "K" appears in the R-column as the result on any kind of running play from scrimmage or on any return, roll the dice again, refer to the K-column, and use the number there for the result. When a player has a "K" in his R-column, he can never be used for kicking or punting. If the symbol "F-K" or "F-P" appears on a players card, it means that you use the K or P column when he recovers a fumble. Players in bold are starters. If there is a difference between the player's card and the roster sheet, always use the card information. The number in ()s after the player name is the number of cards that the player has in this set.

  • The Beginning

    The Beginning

    How Husker Power began with Bob Devaney 1957 My first lifting experience began in Danny Lundberg’s garage in 1957 at age 10. His older brother had a set of weights in their garage. I was 12 when my dad bought me a set of weights. The set came with instructions on how to perform competitive weightlifting movements which is not what most athletes need to improve performance especially young ones. 1959 Danny Lundberg (L) and Epley (R) 1962-65 Between 1962-65 my high school coach Hugh Morrison provided direction in physical education weight training class and as the head football and track coach at Alhambra High School in Phoenix, Arizona. My First Set of Weights age 12 Hugh Morrison - my Football and Track Coach in high school. I also picked up ideas from bodybuilder friend Pat Neve who was one of my high school classmates. Pat later won Mr. America and set a world record in the bench press at 480 lbs. weighting 180 lbs. Pat Neve Mr. America 1962 So while I was in high school in Arizona the University of Nebraska hired Bob Devaney as the Head Football Coach and immediately became a force in the Big Eight Conference. Prior to Devaney's arrival, Nebraska football had seven consecutive losing seasons. Coach Devaney and his staff engineered an immediate turnaround with a 9–2 record in 1962 that included an upset victory over Michigan at Michigan and a victory in the Gotham Bowl at Yankee Stadium over the Miami Hurricanes. 1963-66 Coach Devaney followed with an even better 10–1 season in 1963 including a perfect 7–0 record in the Big Eight to claim the conference title and an Orange Bowl victory over Auburn.

  • For Immediate Release

    For Immediate Release

    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: WERNER ENTERPRISES OUTLAND TROPHY AWARD DINNER SCHEDULED FOR JANUARY 9, 2019 For the 22nd consecutive year, the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) has awarded Omaha the Outland Trophy Award Dinner presentation. This year the Werner Enterprises Outland Trophy Award Dinner will be held Wednesday, January 9, 2019, at the Downtown DoubleTree Hotel, Omaha, Nebraska. The Home Depot ESPNU College Football Awards announced on ESPN Thursday, Dec. 6, from the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta, GA, that Quinnen Williams from the University of Alabama, is the winner of the 2018 Outland Trophy. This year’s winner and his coach will be in attendance at the Dinner on January 9th. Quinnen Williams, NG, Alabama (6-4, 295, So., Birmingham, AL): The upstart sophomore leads unbeaten Alabama with 14.0 tackles for loss for minus-58 yards and is tied for 11th in the SEC with 5.0 sacks. He too posted a career game against LSU, tallying career highs in tackles (10) and sacks (2.5) and tying a career high in tackles for loss (3.5). Williams clogs the middle and allows those around him to create havoc – Alabama has had at least 10 tackles for loss in five of 10 games and in three straight. The Crimson Tide's 36 sacks (3.60 per game) are both tied for No. 3 nationally. The FWAA awarded the Outland Trophy Award Dinner to the Greater Omaha Sports Committee in 1997. Since that time the Sports Committee has presented the Outland Trophy to Aaron Taylor – NU (’97), Kris Farris –UCLA (’98), Chris Samuels –Alabama (’99), John Henderson
