  1.  

    Here's an alternate to consider:

     

    The distance: 94 yards

    The star: Roger Craig

    The date: Sept. 19, 1981

    The outcome: Huskers 34, Florida State 14

    The story: The Huskers had been humbled just the week before, having laid an egg in Iowa City, losing 10-7 to an unranked Hawkeyes team to start the season.

     

    The heat was on. And now an up-and-coming Florida State program rode into Lincoln, confident after having upset Nebraska in Lincoln the year before.

     

    But the Seminoles had a problem on their hands this time. That problem's name was Roger Craig.

     

    The future San Francisco 49ers All-Pro ran wild, posting 234 yards rushing. Craig saved his best for last.

     

    Florida State had just cut the score to 27-14 midway through the fourth quarter. Then things got a little more tense in the stadium when Craig lost track of where he was while fielding the kickoff. He stepped out of bounds at his own 6.

     

    Of minor matter.

     

    Craig got loose on the next play, bursting through the right side of the line, breaking a couple of tackles and then running away from the defense for a 94-yard touchdown to put the game away.

     

    “He comes through the middle of that line just like a catapult … he's like somethin' shout from a gun!” Husker play-by-play man Lyell Bremser exclaimed.

     

    At the time, it tied Craig Johnson (1979 against Kansas) for the longest rushing touchdown in Husker history.

     

    Twenty years would pass before Eric Crouch could knock the play down the list.

     

    But Craig’s run is still one to remember, right along with Nebraska’s nonconference schedule that year: Iowa, Florida State, Penn State and Auburn.

     

    There’s a reason teams don’t schedule like that anymore. Nebraska started that year 2-2.

  2. Jaevon said tonight they are actual cousins.

     

    And that he is visiting here. And he is jaevons top priority to get here. Said he will end up a 5*

     

    They are not actually cousins. Johnson reiterated that again today. But good friends.

     

    Has visited Miami, LSU, Duke, North Carolina, Clemson, Vanderbilt and Tennessee. Visiting Stanford next month and may visit Cal. Also visiting Auburn and looking to visit Alabama, South Carolina, Mississippi and Georgia.

  3. Don't have one yet. This is a good place to start.

     

    I've seen a lot of "wanting" or "planning" to visit but it's sometimes tough to tell who's really working on visiting and who's just saying they might.

     

    We can start listing the guys who say they're going to visit here and go from there.

  4. Dont shoot the messenger here. Apparently gebbia's dad bought a house in lincoln. No solid proof just something I heard from a buddy. Feel like that'd be hard to hide so if anyone here is sherlock, find it out!

     

    I'd heard somewhere that they were looking. But it would be a pretty bold move to actually buy something before he was officially signed. Lots of things can happen in 10 months.
