“Nebraska coaching legend Bob Devaney earned both the Walter Camp Coach of the Year and Eddie Robinson Coach of the Year awards in 1971. Devaney led the Huskers to two consecutive national titles in 1970 and 1971. What were the three most prominent programs the Huskers defeated during that run? And what was unique about Nebraska beating those three teams?”
=================================
Answer:
The Huskers defeated Oklahoma, Colorado and Alabama. The unique fact: Those three teams were ranked No. 2, No. 3 and No. 4, respectively, in the final AP Poll.
Nebraska defeated each team roughly one month apart, beating Colorado (Oct. 30) and Oklahoma (Nov. 25) in the regular season and Alabama (Jan. 1) in the Orange Bowl.
