"Nebraska Bursts Oklahoma's
Bubble"
November 20, 1978
I still remember where I was that day,
do you? I was in a Junior High wrestling tournament in Dorchester,
Nebraska. I placed third that day, the team placed fourth, I believe,
but everyone was glued to the television set in the gym lobby as Tom Osborne's
Huskers did what they hadn't done in six previous tries. The clincher:
a Jeff Hanson-induced fumble by Billy Sims, recovered by Jim Pillen on
the Husker three yard line. What an ending!
