We have done so few lists here at Corn Nation, and they're the easiest things to do as a writer. That changes now as we begin the countdown to the 2009 season, and who better to start with than the immortal Heisman winner Johnny Rodgers???? Is there anything more Nebraska football than Rodgers'...
1972: The Rebound (Part Two)
For other seasons, go here. Part One When we last checked in with the 1972 Tigers, they had already doubled their 1971 wins just three games into the season.
