[Husker] 84 orange bowl on ESPN Classic

[Tommy Thompson]

I watched the game the other day as well...only I watched the entire game. 
Still heartbreaking, but what a great game.  Huskers were very talented, but 
so was Miami.  The key to the loss  may have been Irving Fryar's dropped 
pass.  Who knows what would have happened if he had caught it.
