Day by Day: The Rise

Tom Osborne’s chase for a National Championship began in 1973 when he was named the head coach of the Nebraska Huskers on the back of repeat national titles in ‘70 and ‘71. It would take 21 years before the Huskers would reach the goal that the fans, the team, the state of Nebraska, and Coach Osborne lived and breathed. But amid the triumph, a more significant struggle brewed off the field. Crippled by controversy and dropped to their knees with tragedy, the Nebraska Husker program defied all odds by winning three National Championships in four years. (Utopia Distribution)
