In Dec. 1996 the Huskers played and beat Virginia Tech in the Orange Bowl (played on Dec. 31st). Which Husker shared co-mvp honors?

Yep. Damon Benning is correct. Shared mvp honors with V-Tech's Ken Oxendine. Good job.

Wow, I'd forgotten about Oxendine. I know Va Tech also had a QB that went on to play for the 49ers, and I believe we had a safety in this game, marking the 3rd consecutive bowl game where the Huskers won and notched a safety.

Drunkenmiller? I believed played with the Niners?
Yes, Jim Druckenmiller. Played for the 49er's, Dolphins, and the Colts along with a stint in the XFL and the Arena leagues. Had some legal issues stemming from a bar brawl and also rape allegations. In 2008 ESPN named Druckenmiller the 11th biggest bust since the AFL-NFL merger. (All per Wikipedia)

I don't see a safety in the box score.

I remember being at this game. It was quite a different experience sitting in a half empty Joe Robbie Stadium after going to two straight national title games. Frost had a rough Jr. year but played really well in this game. It was probably his best game up to that point.
