[Husker] Osborne a whisker away from Michigan State

[Martin, Douglas]

I continuously point out that many don't understand how very close Nebraska was to an unprecedented 5 national championships in a row.  Yes, I know you can never predict what would have happened, but NU being a missed field goal away in 1994, and a flu bug away in 1996 (okay, maybe that is a stretch, but if we win the Big XII championship game then I argue that they are there on the doorstep of another MNC) makes me think, how very incredible and cool that would have been. 
 
It still bugs me that this stretch does not qualify for a place in College Football Hall of Fame's "Dynasty" Exhibit.

I also hadn't heard the story about how we got beat by FSU in the Orange
Bowl following the 1994 season.  ;-)
