  • Who were some of the star players on the field for both teams? Was Roger Craig on Nebraska?

  • Craig was Nebraska. Osborne said it was his best team ever. Also RB Mike Rozier, WR Irving Fryar, QB Turner Gill. Nebraska Center Dave Rimington (Outland Trophy and Lombardi Award winner) was pushed around by NT William (The Refrigerator) Perry all night. Besides Perry, Clemson had LB Jeff Davis, FS Terry Kinard, WR Perry Tuttle, PK Donald Igwebuike and alot of really good players.

  • Hey clemFB2008... uhh nebraska just beat your team. but don't worry about it.

  • Good game...

  • I know Clemson was undefeated and ranked #1, but was that really a good Nebraska team they faced (and beat)?

  • It was what the "powers that be" decided was the best at that time. Tom Osborne said it was his best team ever as Nebraska head coach. Their offensive lineman, Dave Remington, was the Outland Trophy winner for that season (and William Perry manhandled him the entire game). They had lost two of the first three games of the season, but had won the last eight games going into the Orange Bowl. Pittsburgh may have been the better team, but they had lost their final regular season game to Penn State.

  • If nebraska had won this game they more than likely would have won the National Title as #2 Georgia lost the Sugar Bowl that night to #10 Pitt while #3 Alabama had lost to #6 Texas that afternoon in the Cotton Bowl

  • The following night, Don Criqui and John Brodie would head right back to the Orange Bowl to call the Chargers/Dolphins AFC divisional playoff, a game now immortalized as the "Epic in Miami".

  • Danny Ford's biggest game at Clemson

  • Hilarious. NBC used the Monty Python "Olympic Hide and Seek Final" song to intro its national championship coverage. Hearing Don Criqui over what John Cleese might have talked over is so funny, but cool. I miss Criqui and Trumpy. Heck, I miss how NBC did college football bowl games. Best ever. Bring 'em back for the BCS.

  • @tigerray that was his best team in 1981 2 yrs before the team that went undefeated and lost in the Orange Bowl 13 yrs before he won back to back National Championships

  • Clemson & Nebraska were two of the best teams in FBS in the 80's

  • @statman29neb

    but we didnt

  • my uncle was the center for clemson in this game

  • The next day after this game....San Diego beat Miami 41-38 in OT in the playoffs.

  • I remember watching this with my grandmother.
