The latest episode of Husker Sports Network Originals follows the evolutions of legendary coach Tom Osborne's option offense.
"Osborne and the Option" discussed the journey of Osborne's offensive scheme, from his early days as an assistant under Bob Devaney, the 1983 Scoring Explosion and the glory days of the dominant '90s. We highlight some of the key players in Osborne's offense, including Turner Gill, Steve Taylor and current Nebraska football head coach, Scott Frost.
Osborne's 25-year coaching career came to a poetic end in the 1998 Orange Bowl. In his final game, the Huskers defeated No. 3 Tennessee, 42-17, giving Osborne a share of a third national title in four seasons. The victory left Osborne as the first coach in college football history to retire as a reigning national champion. He also left the sideline with the nation's best active winning percentage (.836, 255-49-3), a mark that still ranks sixth all-time among Division I coaches.
