Great Moments in Orange Bowl History - 1983 FedEx Orange Bowl

Louisiana States Tigers came within one point of upsetting No. 3 Nebraska, but the Huskers held on to win 21-20.
Despite four fumbles and a pair of interceptions, the Big Red Machine was able to come back from a 17-7 deficit to win. Two Dalton Hilliard scores for Louisiana State came as the result of Nebraska fumbles and a third-quarter Louisiana State field goal was also the result of a fumble.
Finally, the Husker offense came alive, scoring twice thanks to drives engineered by quarterback Turner Gill. Gill found Mike Rozier with an 11-yard pass and then scored the second touchdown himself, giving the Huskers a 21-17 lead.
Louisiana State cut it to one with a fourth-quarter field goal by Juan Betanzos.
