Nebraska's Offensive Line Rotation in the 1995 Orange Bowl
Last week, an article in the Lincoln Journal-Star stated that, contrary to common opinion, Nebraska did not substitute on the offensive line during the 1995 Orange Bowl against Miami. The common thought was based on Nebraska's frequent substitution on the offensive line in other games combined with the memories of seeing Miami's Warren Sapp exhausted as Nebraska overcame a 17-9 fourth quarter deficit to defeat Miami 24-17.
A review of the 1995 Orange Bowl (always a fun trip down nostalgia lane for Husker fans) showed the conventional opinion was, in fact, actually correct. Nebraska's starting lineup on the offensive line stayed intact for the first two drives.
