2018 Nebraska Football Countdown: 97

The Flea Kicker, national championship, and the retirement of a legend

97 days until kickoff of the 2018 season.

Of course, 1997 was the year of Nebraska’s latest national championship (I couldn’t bring myself to call it the “last” one.) That season gave Nebraska its third national championship in the span of four years. It was also the final season Tom Osborne led the team out of the tunnel as head coach.

The 1997 Huskers posted a 13-0 record, 8-0 in the Big Twelve. That team opened the season with Akron visiting Memorial Stadium. Hopefully a visit from Akron in 2018 is the start of a return to the kind of Nebraska football that left opponents (even victorious ones) not wanting to play that team again.
