Unbeatable Tom Osborne and the Greatest Era of Nebraska Football

2012

Synopsis

A look at Tom Osborne's unique systems, methods and philosophies that formed the foundation of Husker success. Inside Tommie Frazier's decision to come to Nebraska — and how close he came to never setting foot in Lincoln. How Warren Sapp became the perfect foil on the biggest play in the 1994 national championship game. A fresh look at Lawrence Phillips: the man, his rage, his crimes — and why Osborne has never given up on him. How a Husker defensive breakdown in the 1995 title game turned into a game-changer for Nebraska. The oversight by Osborne that may well have cost Nebraska a national title in 1996. What made Grant Wistrom and Jason Peter perhaps the best pair of leaders ever to play at Nebraska. Scott Frost's battle for acceptance — not just among Husker fans, but his own teammates.
