Game-Worn Jerseys for Texas Game Up for Auction on Huskers.com

Huskers.com is offering up for auction 157 game-worn jerseys from the Oct. 16 Nebraska-Texas game at Memorial Stadium.

"We are always looking at new ways to create revenue to support our student-athletes," said Michael Stephens, Nebraska's Assistant Athletic Director who oversees Marketing and Licensing. "We feel the game-worn jersey auction is a great way to do this while also giving our fans a chance to be part of the special celebration. With the bids we've already received, we feel like we're off to a great start." .

To commemorate the 40th anniversary of Nebraska's first national football championship, the Huskers' 1970 team will be honored during the Red Out Around the World festivities.

"In addition to connecting our fans everywhere, we feel it's appropriate to salute the team that put Nebraska on the national map with an unbeaten season and a 17-12 win over LSU in the Orange Bowl," Stephens said.

The 1970 team will be feted at a private reception the night before the Texas game.
