[QUOTE="Heisman's Ghost, post: 858230, member: 4015"] I was at that game. A friend of mine, whose father played on the 1952 national championship team, drove down with me to Orlando. We played tennis that morning and went to the game. Nebraska was a 3 or 4 point favorite as I recall but there was no doubt as to who had the better team. Nebraska had a great cornerback named Bruce Pickens that was their "shutdown corner". He got burned repeatedly by Emmett Merchant and Bobby Rodriquez. Even after that, the Falcons still drafted him in the first round. William Bell had a great game and would not be denied. We had a great time at the Citrus Bowl that year. I had only seen Tech play in person two other times that year and each time I was struck by the balance on that team. Good offense both rushing and passing. Good defense against both the rush and the pass. Outstanding special teams. It was vintage Bobby Ross. [/QUOTE]
