  • The College Football Hall of Fame Upon His Retirement After the 1997 Season
    CORNHU THIS IS NEBRASKA or more than a century, the legacy of Nebraska Football has been growing. From its humble beginning in 1890 – when two games made an entire schedule – to 2008, where an established, nationally prominent program enjoys a rich history of success, Nebraska’s student-athletes have entertained and excelled on all levels. Five national championships and F43 conference titles highlight the accomplishments of one of college football’s most storied programs. There have been Heisman winners and Outland Trophy recipients, a nation-leading number of Academic All-Americans, a Big 12-best graduation rate and many professional football stars. But underlying all of the countless accolades is a football family that does not rely on wins and losses as the fi nal indicator of excellence. Nebraska Football is much more than talented athletes and coaches taking the fi eld to play a game – it is a family. The fans, support staff and student-athletes are all Dedicated to Excellence through Integrity, Trust, Respect, Teamwork and Loyalty. It is this commitment on and off the fi eld that makes Nebraska unique and assures that the rich tradition of the Huskers will keep growing for years to come. Nebraska started the new millennium the same way it ended the last - among the nation’s elite. In the 1980s and 1990s, Nebraska became the fi rst team in the history of Division I football to post 100 wins in back-to-back decades. Since the start of the 1970s, Nebraska has posted the best record of any Division I team (374-92-5).
