I wish the 1972 game footage was this quality!

Love the Big Red. My brother played on that team number 43 Dave Morock.

we got our first color tv, a little 12 inch, just to watch the game.
we was looking for my brother who was in the marching band.
what a time it was, the whole state was freeking. this is when nebraska show the  world about modern training..
there was no stopping us. thanks for posting,
GO BIG RED

Rodgers, Kinney, Tagge, Jacobson lead Nebraska to the national title, and all come back next year and lead the Huskers to another title. That's the way it was then. It was really college sports. Almost always no thought of leaving early, despite the ability to become a pro star right away.

Great video quality. Looks new, and yet it's almost 50 years ago.

"We're the only undefeated team left. I can't see how the Pope himself would vote for Notre Dame."

Great image and sound!  Thank you so much!

Willie Harper No.51 with Nebraska went on to have a good pro football career with the San Francisco 49's.

This game had historic connotations, though you would not know from this video as the commercials were cut out.  According to Wikipedia, this was the last ever sporting event to feature cigarette commercials.  It was in 1971 that all those cigarette ads went bye-bye.  This was the last sports game to show the Marlboro Cowboy, that Virginia Slims jingle, and those people with black eyes on Tareyton ads.

Would love to see Nebraska play LSU today! Geaux Tigers! Number 1 in the land!!

I'm only a few minutes in and boy could Tagge whip that football . Also Orduna was lightening fast . Willie Harper !! Wow !

Just think LSU hadn't even integrated varsity football at this point.

i miss the big 8, why do people make change when there's nothing wrong

watched this game with my LA USAF friend in  basic training at San Antonio TX

So cute to see baby Mike the Tiger on the sideline at the start of the 2nd quarter 35:30

In the 1980's, Nebraska beat LSU  in three Bowl Games in five years, but couldn't beat Florida  or Miami in six straight bowl games shortly thereafter.

#77 at the 6:02 mark.... Oops! Art Cantrell (missed virtually the entire game) and Tom Casanova, two of my favorite Tigers of all time! Interesting that both teams played the backup QB in the 1st half. Buddy Lee was a little wobbly leaving the field 1:57:12.
Nebraska two fumbles at the end... Yikes. Great game and thanks for posting.

The beginning of a 30-year dynasty.

17:12 I had no idea that Bob Devaney was the head coach of Notre dame. LOL

From 1970 to 1979 Nebraska had more passing attempts, 2581, than the 1990-1999 teams (1,996). Interesting.
