Episode notes

A day of mixed emotions in Nebraska program history, the 1994 Orange Bowl National Championship between the Huskers and Florida State, is worthy of a rewind. Mitch and Max, your tour guides, delve into the minutia of this event that had no shortage of narratives, including the Seminoles offense and the complexion of Nebraska's club (4:30), the officiating (12:55), the missed game-winning field goal (22:25) and even OJ Simpson (29:00). M&M then welcome in Nebraska HOF linebacker and impact player in the Orange Bowl, Trev Alberts, to discuss the underdog '93-'94 team, Byron Bennett, the game's last two minutes and much more (37:30).
