Happy Thanksgiving everyone! Make it a great day. Try not to eat too much (I keep telling myself). Anyway, today's question; When was the last time the Husker football team played a game on Thanksgiving day?
Nope. Close though. VERY close.Game of the century 1971 ( against OU)
BINGO!! Game played in Lincoln in front of a then record crowd of 76,587. OU won the game 17-14. Bob Devaney's last home game as head coach of the Huskers. Johnny Rodgers, Richie Glover along with many other Husker greats last home game as well. More on the game here.1972 Nebraska ou
