The quest is over.
The pursuit of a national
championship has come to an
end for the Nebraska
Comhuskers, and for the first
time in 23 years, the Huskers’
season had a happy ending.
With a 24-17 victory over the
Miami Hurricanes at the Orange
Bowl in Miami on New Year’s
Night, the Huskers gave Tom
Osborne his first national title as
a head coach at Nebraska.
As fullback Cory Schlesinger
tumbled into the end zone with
his second touchdown against
the Hurricanes, the monkey was
lifted from Osborne’s back, and
more than a decade of near
misses and year-end frustration
was finally over.
Schlesinger’s run capped
Nebraska’s first perfect season
since 1971 and ended seven
straight unhappy new years for
Nebraska.
“We have been waiting 23
years for this, and now we’re
right back where we belong —
on top,” Huskcr defensive tackle
Terry Connealy said. “We won
this for the whole state of Ne
braska.”

Tommie Frazier didn’t want
to talk to anyone after Nebraska’s
18-16 loss to Florida State in the
Orange Bowl.
So for a while, he didn’t.
With Turner Gill draped over
him, Frazier twisted his way
through a crowd of well-wish
ers, who had just watched the
sophomore quarterback surpri se
the nation by weaving his way
through Florida State’s defense.
Head down, Frazier showed
no expression as Seminole
coaches and players approached
him with congratulations for his
performance and consolation for
the loss.
“I noticed them,” Frazier said
later of the crowds. “But I didn’t
feel like talking.”

Fiesta Bowl history
launched by Huskers
By Mike Kluck
Senior Reporter
Fiesta Bowl Executive Director
John Junker is supposed to show no
[ ——1 favoritism to either
lean i piaying minis
year’sFiestaBowl.
But Junker can’t
help but express
fondness at having
11 -0 Nebraska in
this year’s title
clash.
1 ;^r | junker said his
h.nLaffection stemmed
JUflKer back 20 years when
a 10-1 Nebraska squad decided to
play an undefeated Arizona State team
in the fifth Fiesta Bowl.
“That game was extremely impor
tant because Nebraska came in as one
of the highest ranked teams we ever
had with the largest national expo
sure,” Junker said. “It was one of the
first comers the Fiesta Bowl turned. It
gave the bowl quite a bit of credibility.
It also became one of the great match
ups of the year in all bowl games.”
Nebraska coach Tom Osborne said
before the game, the Huskers were
expecting to be invited to a different
bowl.
“The Fiesta Bowl, at that time was
a little bit of a secondary bowl,”
Osborne said. “I don’t know if we had
to talk them into it, but I think there
was some disillusionment.”
In the game, the Huskers, whose
only other loss was to eventual na
tional champion Oklahoma, held a
14-6 lead, but Arizona State scored 11
points in the final stanza to win 17-14
and finish No. 2 in the polls.
Osborne said he remembered the
game because Nebraska quarterback
Vince Ferragamo had thrown an inters
ception in the first quarter. Osborne
benched him in favor of Terry Luck.
“Luck had been practicing a little
better,” Osborne said. “We lost the
game 17-14 and I never heard the end
of it.”
In 1982, the Fiesta Bowl moved to
New Year’s Day and received its high
est television rating at that time, pit
ting Penn State against Southern Cal
and Heisman Trophy winner Marcus
Allen.
Junker said the 1982 sellout CFowd
of 71,053 proved to Fiesta Bowl offi
cials that their game had made the leap
to being one of the top bowls.
The Fiesta Bowl hosted its first
national title game on Jan. 2, 1987,
when Penn State defeated Miami 14
10. Junker said that game is still the
most watched college game of all time.
Junker said the 1986 Fiesta Bowl,
in which Michigan topped Nebraska
27-23 was also a big game for the
Fiesta Bowl.
“That game matched two of the
premier programs in the country and
helped provide very strong television
ratings,” Junker said.
