Husker Football Trivia

[Catch50]

Before our recent win in Pinstripe Bowl, when was the last time the Huskers won in New York state?


Against what team?

No sir.

It was the game against Syracuse in the Carrier Dome in September of 1984. The venue wasn't that big, but very noisy and we lost.

Yeah me too. Got beat to the punch but that's the only 1 I remember. That Syracuse loss was disgusting. Listened to it on a transistor radio during wedding

In '84 we lost Rozier, Fryer, Gill, Steinkuhler and Raridon.

My bad, was thinking the last time we played there, not won there.

Great question!

Although I am aware that The Meadowlands is in New Jersey, I feel compelled to bring up the 1983 shit-stomping of Penn State in the inaugural Kickoff Classic.

Sweet revenge for one of the most orchestrated screw jobs in college football history a year earlier.
