8 Spirit Fall 2020 Edition
Charlie McBride Nebraska’s defenses were staunch, physical and nasty. At Tom Osborne’s side was McBride, the man at the controls for some of the greatest Blackshirt units in program history. To this day, Husker defenses try to play to the standard set by McBride. Brendan Holbein A 5-9 split end from Cozad, Holbein captured the hearts of fans with his tenacious blocking on the perimeter. He was a pretty good receiver, too, catching 47 career passes for 592 yards. Milt Tenopir The architect of the “Pipeline,” Tenopir coached the best offensive lines in school history. His O-lines were a reflection of the state’s toughness and hard-working mentality. Fans loved Milt. Players loved him even more. “There wasn’t anybody who didn’t like Milt,” Charlie McBride told the Journal Star after Tenopir died in 2017.
