  Rodgers, Kinney, Tagge, Jacobson lead Nebraska to the national title, and all come back next year and lead the Huskers to another title. That&apos;s the way it was then. It was really <i>college</i> sports. Almost always no thought of leaving early, despite the ability to become a pro star right away.

  This game had historic connotations, though you would not know from this video as the commercials were cut out. &nbsp;According to Wikipedia, this was the last ever sporting event to feature cigarette commercials. &nbsp;It was in 1971 that all those cigarette ads went bye-bye. &nbsp;This was the last sports game to show the Marlboro Cowboy, that Virginia Slims jingle, and those people with black eyes on Tareyton ads.

  Willie Harper No.51 with Nebraska went on to have a good pro football career with the San Francisco 49&apos;s.

  &quot;We&apos;re the only undefeated team left. I can&apos;t see how the Pope himself would vote for Notre Dame.&quot;<br><br>-NU Coach Bob Devaney

  Great video quality. Looks new, and yet it&apos;s almost 50 years ago.
