What is the best Husker football team to never win a championship?
There are a few teams that could legitimately be proposed as an answer to that question, but I chose The Scoring Explosion, the 1983 Husker football team.
The ‘83 team was ranked #1 in the AP poll the entire season. It was no surprise they were so highly regarded after returning the major contributors from the 1982 team went 11-1. (Jon wrote about the 1982 Cornhuskers yesterday.)
The only poll that the 1983 Cornhuskers were not #1?
The final one.
But, I’m getting ahead of myself.
