Leonard Marshall was one of my all-time favorite NY Giants defensive linemen. He was lovingly called "an athletic cement mixer". Its great to see him play during his college years. Thanks for the upload!
This was an excellent LSU team, lots of guys went to play in the NFL from this squad. Leonard Marshall, Eugene Daniel, Dalton Hilliard, Garry James, and Eric Martin to name a few.
I was so young when I saw this, i never understood why this Nebraska team won by 1. The number of turnovers was ridiculous. I always figured it must have been such a letdown to not get a shot at the title. Felt they should have won the PSU game, at least they were their equal. PSU got throttled by 21 to a not great Alabama team, and got a boost in the polls from beating Notre Dame which sucked that year, it was just a big name.
At 29.07 a powerhouse run by Rozier on the short pass from Gill. Breaking tackles and running over people. Almost broke it. Mike was very underrated as a receiver. He had excellent hands and could even run good patterns. It's interesting because Rozier was considered the better receiver out of the backfield then Roger Craig, when they were at Nebraska. Roger I'm not sure ever caught a pass as a Husker? Nobody expected Craig to become the amazing receiver that he was with the Forty-niners'. Mike did catch 50 passes as a Jacksonville Bull in 1985 with 3 touchdowns.
If I recall this being the same game. Watched at a party. A broke college student. Entry was you had to bet $100 on Nebraska for the win to get in.. We all walked away winners that night, but I believe the game was close. I have only watched the first 7 minutes of the game thus far.
One minor detail in the description. The Orange Bowl this year(and for many seasons) aired on NBC not CBS. CBS got the Orange Bowl for a brief period when it was the Bowl Alliance(the precursor to the BCS)
@JP Are you sure? Criqui and Brodie were NBC for years! Brodie was even cast in an episode of Columbo or was it Banacek? or Quincy? The poster describes it NBC
Criqui was not paying attention at 1:34 when LSU kicked off. Number 15 kicked the ball in to the endzone and he said it was the place kicker who had just made the previous FG to make it 17-7. LSU needed someone to kick it into the endzone.
I think John Brodie should focus more on calling the game instead of telling us what he "thinks" will happen. His anticipation for a great NEB showing was being stymied by LSU repeatedly and yet the impression is that it's only a matter of time before the 'Huskers break through. Maybe John was unaware that LSU was #1 in the country in total defense for most of the year and held the vaunted ALA rushing attack to ZERO first downs in the first half of their game. This LSU team was stacked.
This was arguably Tom Osborne's best team of the 1980's. They should have won the National title. Awesome offensive line, Three great Running Backs, Rozier, Craig and Jeff Smith. The fastest player in College Football in Irving Fryar. Much better defense than the '83 team. Although the '83 defense was much better in the early part of the season then they were later on due to allot of injuries. That entire defense returned in 1984 and led the nation behind All American Defensive Tackle Jim Skow who had a long NFL career. DB Brett Clark was also an All American and was having a great Pro career before he blew out his knee.
Those games were on at the same time. Orange Bowl on NBC and the Sugar Bowl on ABC....most people didn't watch this Orange Bowl because the Sugar Bowl was for the National Championship that year.
One two-point conversation and one horrible call goes the right way, and the '82-'83 Huskers would have been back-to-back national champions. Winning three of four between '94-'97, and lets face it they were just plain robbed in '93, and you're looking at 5 or titles! Tell me Osborne's not the GOAT of college football coaching!
Had Nebraska beaten Penn State earlier in the 1982 season (robbed by another terrible call), they would have won the National Championship by winning this Orange Bowl game.
@JP Hello JP, I just know I was in the armed forces, might of had the "duty" that holiday. I've just watched a few minutes of the '83 Rose Bowl. I think I remember watching that(?) if Kenny Easley knocked the QB out of that game; I saw that, because I remember one of my duty section members was a big UCLA fan and he was giving the horse laugh on the Rec Deck afterwards. Isn't it remarkable that there used to be a time when the players conducted themselves as gentleman on and off the field?
Nobody watched this game because Penn State was playing Georgia in the Sugar Bowl at the same time for the National Championship - won by Penn State 27-23.
They rescheduled the Sugar Bowl for the evening, after the matchup was announced. If you recall, back in the 60' and 70's, when there were just the four major bowls played on New Years Day, the Sugar and Cotton Bowls were always played at the same time (2p EST), while the Rose Bowl was played at 5p, and the Orange Bowl at 8p. A 'hiccup' occurred in back to back seasons with the Sugar Bowl scheduling, when for the '73 season, it was played on New Years's Eve, as Alabama and Notre Dame locked up in a thriller, with ND prevailing and winning the National Championship (post bowl voting-Associated Press). The next year, again, the Sugar Bowl was played in prime time (8p EST), as Nebraska came from behind, and beat Florida.
Darren Marrero - As a kid, I was spending the holidays in Miami at my old man’s house (who was a big Penn State fan)....we were gonna go to this 1983 Orange Bowl game until the Sugar Bowl moved the start of the game. I was so bummed. I wanted to go to the Orange Bowl.

Of all the old games I've watched on YT the past coupla years, I'd not ever seen this one. The key to this one was that Turner Gill far outplayed Alan Risher. Even back then, you had to be accurate with the football. Gill was on this night, and Risher just wasn't. I'd go so far as to say Gill was a more complete option QB than Tommie Frazier, who won the Heisman a decade or so later. That LSU team was stacked with future NFL starters, and many of them, like Hilliard, were just freshmen in '82. Hilliard went on to be the Saints all-time leading rusher for several years until Deuce McAllister came along.
NU….they were so physical. OU and NU were physical teams and only the versatility of a Miami and Florida St gave them fits. NU finally solved that in the 90’s.
a few years ago I saw a one of those prison shows and the LSU NG Ramsey Dardar, was an inmate at the infamous Angola Prison. He went to the NFL and got hooked on cocaine. The other inmates called him 'NFL".
I remember Mike Rozier got cheated out of around an extra 50 yards rushing for some reason. The state guy must have fallen asleep? Mike already had a 116 yards than had 3 or 4 more runs in the 12-15 yard category and the next time they showed his stats he still had only 114 yards. Bowl games didn't count in season or career statistics then. A stupid rule. But Mike should have had at least 150 yards in this game and that would have put him close to 1,900 yards rushing for the season. Even though there were several games he never saw the field in the second half.
If the refs didnt cheat for Penn State against Nebraska at the end, then Nebraska wins the NC for Tom Osbourne 1st title in this game..sad when refs cheat..ruins the game and history for many... Then the Neb vs Miami Orange Bowl would have been even bigger for both... 🎉❤🎉
He was 3-7-1 in 1981. 22-21-1 overall. To be fair, Stovall was only promoted after Bo Rein's plane went down in the Atlantic, and Stovall was ill-equipped to be a head coach.

Maybe watching the Sugar Bowl which was the De Facto National title game for the 1982 season as it feared both #1 and #2 in Georgia and Penn St?

Stovall would get fired the next year for going 4-7-0. You can't do that at LSU.
He was 3-7-1 in 1981. 22-21-1 overall.
To be fair, Stovall was only promoted after Bo Rein's plane went down in the Atlantic, and Stovall was ill-equipped to be a head coach.

LSU could never beat Nebraska and Nebraska could barely if ever beat Oklahoma or Florida State.
6 turnovers slowed the scoring for Nebraska. But like all said LSU had top players.
