In 1985 Florida State came to Lincoln and knock off the Huskers, the last time NU lost a season opener. Who were the starting quarterbacks that day for FSU and the Huskers?
McManus is correct for FSU. Starting for NU that day was McCathorn Clayton. Clayton finished out his career as a defensive back. Thanks for playing.I'll guess Travis Turner (I almost typed Travesty Turnover - old habits die hard!) for NU and Danny McManus for the Noles.

Turner started then. I have this image of Clayton taking off on a long run off a option play and I thought for sure he was going to score but neon Deion Sanders ran Clayton down! Amazing. Also, one of the hottest game days ever. Well over 100 degrees on the field.Actually Mags, Travis Turner did start the game.
BTW, that game was Deion Sanders very first game in College starting as a true freshman.
