When you think about the history of Nebraska Cornhuskers football, you think of a punishing running game. From 1977 to 2003, the Huskers surpassed the 3,000 rushing yards mark every season. Coincidentally, the Huskers played in a Bowl game in each of those seasons. However, a (9-3) regular season record in 2003 wasn’t good enough for the state of Nebraska football, so head coach Frank Solich was relieved of his duties. As history played out, it was the wrong move when they hired Bill Callahan as head coach.
Twelve years later, the Huskers are in the same predicament.
