Guess it's not like 1983 around here anymore.
Not quite.
The Nebraska football team in 1983 walloped Minnesota 84-13 in Minneapolis, scoring 21 points in each quarter. The Huskers had the ball for only 22½ minutes, yet scored 12 touchdowns and gained 790 yards.
The 1983 Nebraska team had Mike Rozier, who won the Heisman Trophy that season; Irving Fryar, the No. 1 overall pick in the 1984 NFL Draft; and Turner Gill, one of the smoothest operators at quarterback I've had the joy to witness in person.
Nebraska in 2019 has some nice skill-position players, including a budding star in Wan'Dale Robinson and a proven veteran in JD Spielman. But second-year Husker head coach Scott Frost needs to continue to accumulate big-time skill players. If you're a Husker fan, you hope he gets lucky and eventually lands the next Rozier or Fryar.
At this point, you hope he builds Nebraska's stock to a point where it can match that of … Minnesota. That's right, the Gophers — the Huskers' opponent at 6:30 p.m. Saturday in Minneapolis — have a clear edge on Frost's crew in terms of skill-position talent.
There was a time in Nebraska's glorious gridiron history when such a situation seemed unfathomable.
