Tom Osborne's Nebraska Cornhuskers

As head coach of the Cornhuskers from 1973 to 1997, Coach Tom Osborne guided, inspired, and elevated his Nebraska teams to 255 wins, 13 conference championships, and 3 national titles to cap perfect seasons. A moving tribute to a college football icon, this original film follows Osborne's early coaching seasons under Bob Devaney through his ascension to head coach and beyond, honoring and celebrating the attributes of a champion on and off the field. Quiet and gracious, Doctor Osborne formulated the most prolific machine in College history while insisting that student quality run side-by-side with student-athlete quality. Spanning the decades at Memorial Stadium, stories are told by Coach Osborne himself, family, colleagues, and players including Cornhuskers Johnny Rodgers, Turner Gill, Jason Peter, Jerry Tagge, and Aaron Taylor.
