[SIZE=small]The impact that Green Bay West had on Nebraska football was so pivotal, it enabled the Huskers to win back-to-back national football championships in [/SIZE]1970[SIZE=small] and [/SIZE]1971[SIZE=small], thanks in no small part to the following three student-athletes:[/SIZE]

[SIZE=small]Jerry Tagge, Nebraska’s quarterback who led the Huskers to 1970 and '71 national championships. The Green Bay West graduate was the offensive captain on the Huskers' fabled Game of the Century team.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=small]Jim Anderson, Nebraska’s right cornerback, started every game in ‘69, ’70 and ’71 and was voted defensive captain. The Green Bay West graduate was a formidable force on a roster that was voted college football’s best ever.[/SIZE]

[SIZE=small]Dave Mason, the Huskers’ starting monster on the legendary ’71 Blackshirts, showed how remarkable he could adapt, arriving in Lincoln as Tagge’s favorite high school receiver and equally obvious recruiting target.[/SIZE]
