now it takes almost a half hour to get to the kickoff

mainly because there's a really great Bud Wilkinson tutorial on the wishbone you don't want to miss

I remember that game!!! I was 20 in 1971 and I liked watching teams that ran the wishbone offense. Also, Darrel Royal of Texas has a great tutorial on the wishbone as well!! Check it out.

We actually ran the wishbone at Albright College during that era.

OU and Nebraska was always one of my favorite games every year. I will watch this one again. Too bad this rivalry was lost.

Awesome game. I was 12 at the time. I remember sitting in my living room with my dad and uncle watching the game. We were all from Nebraska, but my dad moved us to Iowa when I was 9. So I eventually become an Iowa Stater.

Agreed. Always looked forward to this game. It is really sad what has happened to Nebraska.
