[dvdcrr]

Here's a little trivia for those who remember 1983 or those who are very good searching for information. In 1983 the Huskers led by Turner Gill rolled to a victory over a team racking up 790 total yards and scoring 84 pts in one game. Do you know who the opponent was?

Want another random trivial question?

This one is fairly recent (and I thought fairly easy to get -- so I won't be surprised if someone gets it right away). Who was the opponent for the largest home Husker game?

Hayden coached against Nebraska State. I don't think he ever coached against Nebraska before he went to the pros.

Is that Devaney on the color commentary? Great coach. But, color commentator? Not so much.

Yep one reason it was the last year for Joe Salem there. The next year Lou Holtz came in and it was much closer at 38-7.

I think that was a Minnesota crew on that video. Lyell Bremser called it for Nebraska's radio network.

Did you notice the box score? Three TDs per quarter. Like clockwork.

Nebraska 21 21 21 21 — 84

Minnesota 0 10 3 0 — 13

Also, he coached Minnesota State, not Minnesota.

No, that was Bob Devaney.
