Indomitable Spirit Symbolized Dave Humm’s Honorary Blackshirt
Whenever anyone faces a catastrophic injury, you have three major choices – 1) let it define you, 2) let it destroy you or 3) let it strengthen you. Dave Humm chose the third option, and two of his former teammates, Tom Ruud and Rik Bonness, are ecstatic that “Hummer” chose option 3.
Two decades after he died at age 65, Nebraska’s fabled quarterback showed every former teammate, plus his friends and family, the same spirit, perseverance, courage and passion he had while leading Nebraska to a Big Eight championship his senior season.
