But 20 years ago this autumn, the greatest football season in Husker history took place.
That’s my opinion. I watched it. I chronicled it.
Turman lived it, experienced it. He went in a walk-on, third-team quarterback and came out the other side with a championship ring and a legend.
So much happened that year. So much to write about. If you took just one of the stories of 1994, it would be one of the all-time Husker tales. There were several of those.
Memories of that year are still fresh.
I’ll never forget walking into Memorial Stadium in early August, for the start of practice, and seeing the score “18-16” on the scoreboard. A reminder of the 1994 Orange Bowl loss to Florida State.
If you didn’t see that, you just looked at the theme on the media guide: “Unfinished Business.”
