description: When autumn comes to the Great Plains, Lincoln is the place to be, as the mighty Cornhuskers of Nebraska mount their annual bid for a national championship. This book chronicles the colorful Cornhusker history on the gridiron--from their early days when they were nicknamed the "Bugeaters" to the more recent football dynasty of coach Tom Osborne, who won three national championships in his last four seasons. In between, there are all sorts of characters, such as "Trainwreck," "Mr. Touchdown," "Sweet Old Bob" (Devaney), the infamous "Black Shirt" defenses, and an amazing string of walk-ons, many of whom seemingly came from nowhere and went on to national fame.
