Nexus Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Nebraska football fans who like to use the word relevant should love this statistic: With Seward (Neb.) native Sam Koch (pronounced Cook) as the Baltimore Ravens’ ultra-dependable punter, Nebraska now can claim an active NFL roster representative in 20 consecutive Super Bowls – the longest streak of any college or university football program in the nation. According to Nebraska media relations assistant athletic director Keith Mann, Nebraska’s 20 consecutive years with at least one former player on a Super Bowl roster is six years ahead of No. 2 Purdue. Ohio State, LSU, Georgia and Illinois have reached 12 consecutive years with that statistical status, followed by Florida with 11, Iowa with 10 and Texas with eight. Manning said the statistics were compiled by Dan Apple, assistant communications director for the University of Florida. Continue Reading 8 Quote Link to comment

HuskerNationNick Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Who were the first two Huskers ever to play in a Super Bowl? That would be Oakland cornerback Kent McCloughan and Raider safety Warren Powers in Super Bowl ll. They were followed by Minnesota’s Mick Tingelhoff (four Super Bowls) and three Huskers who played for the Washington Redskins in the 1972 Super Bowl – Pat Fischer, Ron McDole and Ted Vactor. Woot!!! Its nice too see family member's names in articles like these 20 straight Super Bowls, that's quite impressive! Quote Link to comment

Wouldn't surprise me one bit back in the 90's. I would like to see that trend pick-up again. If the recruiting keeps up pace, I wouldn't be surprised to see NEB send more guys to the NFL. +1 Quote Link to comment

'13 will be a slow year though probably. Quote Link to comment
