That ASU team finished 11-1 that year. Upset at the time but I wouldn’t consider it a big upset in retrospect
great call w 86 CU
Lost to Wisconsin 21-20 , in 1974. My insurance Agent , Greg Bohlig was the Wisconsin QB
Was at the 1986 Colorado game.. They had not beaten Nebraska since 1967 and their fan base stormed the field as fast as they could tearing down the goal post that day..
The Iowa loss was a major upset as Iowa's program had not had any recent success. But the next year, we beat them something like 56-7.
That Washington State loss was a shocker at the time. But they did have the "Throwin' Samoan" Jack Thompson at QB and we may have had some players looking ahead to the Alabama game.
Yes, we lost 21-20 in Madison in 1974. At the time Wisconsin was an utter joke of a program and a perennial doormat. The fans went nuts. I was there with my dad. Losing sucked back then.
That was a shocker. I was a freshman at UNL at the time and was at that game. Depressing as hell. Fortunately, the very next week, as you mention, we turned around and beat Alabama with the Bear on the sidelines. Rick Berns and I.M. Hipp had good games.
Yes that 1878 Missouri team had a lot of nfl talent they just under achieved ex against Nebraska who was emotionally spent from beating ou the week before
If I remember right we got burned when FSU picked up a 3rd and 35 or something ridiculous like that. I think they had 2 of those 3rd or 4th and forever distances they picked up.
My buddy, George Kyros was the DB who got beat late and NU couldn't overcome it. George was all of 5'10" and 170. Helluva player for his size.
Hell yeah! Remember when it was a down season to LOSE three games? Now, win three games in your 4th year and be brought back for a 5th. It's upside down world, folks!
