And nobody was going to beat Nebraska that year. The most dominating team I’ve ever seen.

Did you not watch the Washington Huskies hammer Nebraska in Lincoln on September 21, 1991? Washington 36, Nebraska 21. That ended a 20-game winning streak at home against nonconference opponents. Now THAT was a dominating team. (Okay - I am a Huskies fan. :)

The only 2-time Heisman winner, Archie Griffin, might have a thing to say.
