Great win for the HUSKERS but that may have been one of the worst highlight videos I have ever seen. And definitely the worst narrated
It was produced by the Sugar Bowl. It reminded me of my parents' old family films. It has the feel of an 8mm film from the 1960s.
I guess what I'm saying is that it was bad even by 1985 standards.

NCAA votes to revise another rule in college football (msn.com)
Things are about to get more crowded on the sidelines of college football games, in a good way. On Tuesday, the NCAA's Division I Council voted to remove limits to coaching staff members and support personnel that can be on the field during practices and games.

Bruce Feldman predicts Nebraska as a surprise Big Ten team in 2024 (msn.com)
“They had two great defensive tackles. Nebraska actually has, potentially, the best interior defensive tackle combination in the country. I mean, they have two studs in the middle of the defense, they’re gonna be physical.
“I don’t think they have a ton of firepower, but I think they’ll be much better, a bunch of games that’ll (be) close. I feel like they’re a team that has a chance to sneak into the top 25.”
There’s a collection of talent for Nebraska to steadily improve in 2024. Maybe the Huskers aren’t a big secret anymore.

5. Isaac Gifford, Nebraska
Isaac Gifford’s return announcement was one of the most critical moments of Nebraska’s offseason. The Lincoln Southeast product burst onto the scene in 2023 and led the Huskers with a career-high 86 tackles. That marked the first NU defensive back to surpass 80 tackles in a single season since Nate Gerry in 2014.
Gifford earned honorable mention All-Big Ten recognition from both the coaches and media last year.
The 6-foot-1, 205-pounder also tallied 6.5 tackles for a loss (career high), nine pass breakups (second on the team) and an interception. He posted double-digit tackle efforts against Purdue and Iowa and totaled less than seven stops in just three of 12 games. In 2023, Gifford allowed 204 yards in coverage and one touchdown while posting a 67.6 coverage grade according to PFF.

I mentioned recently somewhere here that one of The Worst color commentaries of all time was Terry Donahue's night working the Nebraska v Florida National Championship game.
The CBS Producers were apparently expecting a big Florida win because Donahue was loaded up to the gills with superlatives to gush about Gator coach, Steve Spurrier. Unfortunately for CBS, when Nebraska took control of the game in the second quarter, color man Donahue was at a loss for what to say.
This morning the full Fiesta Bowl broadcast came up in my Youtube feed while I was relaxing with my morning cup of coffee. I decided to take a few minutes to rewatch the play where Tommie Frazier beat six or seven tackles on his way to a TD.
Given the spectacular nature of the play, how did the CBS broadcast crew respond afterwards?
Quoting Terry Donahue: "Steve Spurrier made this statement. We have got to tackle well to win this football game. Steve knew, like every good football coach knows, that when it comes down to a championship-calibur football game, you've got to execute your fundamentals, in this case it was tackling."
WTF??? If that bizarre take wasn't bad enough, while Donahue was talking the CBS camera man gave us close ups of Steve Spurrier for crying out loud!!!! Jesus, where was Tommie Frazier celebrating on the sidelines or a close-up shot of his coach, Coach Osborne??!?
Even all these years later, that broadcast still leaves me shaking my head.

The interesting thing about this video is that ALL of these camera shots of Steve Spurrier came in a game that Nebraska DOMINATED from the second quarter on.
I recall thinking that night, "Where the hell are the camera shots of the coach whose team is curb-stomping Spurrier's Gators?" I never went back and checked it, but I swear we got at least 10 camera shots of Spurrier for every 1 of Osborne.
Yeah but Spurrier's head shots are what made that game so damn much fun to rewatch. He took off his visor, twisted it in his hands, face palmed and so forth. Absolutely the very best non-verbals I've ever seen on the sidelines.
I just cannot get excited about the new additions. Just stodgy in my older age I guess.
HEY! I was very impressed by a number of 8MM films from the 60's. And I think her name was Sugar in some of them.It was produced by the Sugar Bowl. It reminded me of my parents' old family films. It has the feel of an 8mm film from the 1960s.

After watch Klatt interview Coach Rhule yesterday, it was interesting to see him interview “Coach Prime” today. CU v Nebraska is going to be a Monster Game.
