The last time the Huskers ran the 'ole Fumble-roosky play was during the 1992 Halloween game vs. Colorado. Who was the O-lineman that picked up the ball off the ground and ran for a first down?

Now Bob Brown would have been a good choice for that play. He probably would've score a touchdown.bob brown
He was a redshirt senior starter on the '79 team.
He ran the fumble-rooski in the Oklahoma game before Randy Schleusener did. He came to Nebraska as a 210 pound offensive lineman.

Little known fact that Havekoat was the first to run the play at NU in the 79 OU game. ABC has no clue what happened on the play. Randy Schleusener most often gets credit for being the first since he scored on his and the ABC cameras caught it the 2nd time. Lance Van Vandt found the play while watching recruit film from Texas
I do remember the '79 OU game. Billy Sims went off for something like 240 yards on the Blackshirts. Great info. Thanks guys.
