[Husker] "1968"

[David Asch]

Nebraska had been close to a national champ in 65, and had been  
conference champs in 63,64,65,66.  We had been to the Orange Bowl  
after the 63 and 65 seasons, Cotton after the 64 season and Sugar  
after 66.  The only knock on the team was it could not beat Alabama  
and could not win in Norman.  Entering 67 people expected to win  
every game.  It was a shock to lose 4 in 67 and look even worse in 68.
