| Publisher Description: Daily Devotions for Die-Hard Fans: Nebraska Cornhuskers combines the great passion of the Nebraska fan with the grand passion of the fan of Christ in one set of devotions. The result is a book that is fun while it provides a time of reflection about God and your faith. The most improbable touchdown in NU history saved a game, a season, and a national championship. Eric Crouch called it the worst play he had ever seen, but it netted a touchdown against Oklahoma. A Nebraska pole vaulter with a bad back changed college football. The leading rusher in NU's 2013 spring game was 7 years old. Legendary NU track and field coach Gary Pepin once refused to accept a conference championship. These stories and more are recounted here. Also appearing are Tom Osborne, Mike Rozier, Taylor Martinez, Bob Devaney, Johnny Rodgers, Mike Riley, and many others. Their stories along with legendary games, improbable victories, and historical events are told with a twist: They are all tied to God's story. |
