I played for Mizzou in 83. They weren't just fast and quick but really, really strong. You guys pretty much invented weight training for football up there. Boyd Epely. Our strength coach, at the time, was from Nebraska. Dave Redding, used to play DE up there and was an asst under Epely.
I recall getting steam rolled a few times in that game. I was a 'bandit', I just recall thinking at the time, how the hell can those linemen get upfield so damn fast. Those were some bad boys. When they got to you, they weren't about playing around either, they would knock your d!ck in the dirt and do it with malice. I haven't seen that from Nebraska in a long while. Their offense played like your defense does now. Good times.
