[Husker] "1968"

[Scott Messer]

1968 is just a couple of years before my time.  Prior to the 1970 season
what was the opinion of the team?  Did anybody think that NU was going to
win the conference title or even play at the level?  When did the fans and
the rest of the country really KNOW that the team was for real?

The launch for 1970 & 71 was the blowout win over Georgia in the Sun Bowl.
