1974 Nebraska @ Wisconsin. Who Was There?

[Pat Odea]

Here's a link to personal stories from folks who attended the 1974 Husker-Badger game at Camp Randall. It has a Wisconsin slant as it was hosted on a site that a poster on the Badger board maintained for a few years. There's some good stuff here and since it's buried in a thread below, I thought it warranted its own thread.

1974 Nebraska at Wisconsin. Who Was There?

*** Playing without star quarterback Dave Humm for over half the game, Nebraska's bubble burst earlier than expected as the Huskers fell to the Wisconsin Badgers 21-20. The Huskers battled courageously to a 17-14 fourth quarter lead against the fired-up Badgers. Then with 4:21 left in the game, Mike Coyle successfully kicked a 22 yard Husker field goal giving Nebraska a 6 point lead with little time remaining. But catastrophe was about to strike. Badger quarterback Gregg Bohlig, faced with a second and sixteen from his own 23, rolled right and hit flanker Jeff Mack with a 77 yard TD pass and with the successful kick, Wisconsin led Nebraska 21-20. It was also to be the final score. ***

Several observations:
1) Dave Humm a "star"? Whatever.

Yes, Dave Humm was a star you obnoxious badger twit.

Well I was in uniform for the 1973 Wisconsin @ Nebraska game

And by in uniform I mean Boy Scout green. The scouts used to help out at the games

Man, I remember in 1994 when we went up to Madison ranked number one and they were ranked number five, and it was snowing, and we were tied 24-24 late in the fourth quarter and looked like we were headed for a tie until Frazier broke free for a touchdown run as time expired to win 30-24.

Oh wait, that was on my Sega Genesis. My bad.
