Terry Rodgers Season 1990

1990 (Senior)
Rodgers was forced to miss his entire senior season after suffering another serious knee injury during preseason practice. In 21 career games, Rodgers rushed 104 times for 523 yards and four touchdowns, while also contributing as a return specialist. His career was highlighted by a 113-yard performance against UNLV in 1988.  

1989 (Junior)
After undergoing reconstructive knee surgery and an extensive rehabilitation process following his 1988 injury, Rodgers missed the first three games of the 1989 season. He returned to action and appeared in six regular-season games, as well as the Sunkist Fiesta Bowl against Florida State. Rodgers carried the ball 34 times for 129 yards during the regular season and added four carries for three yards in the bowl game. 

1988 (Sophomore)
Rodgers got off to a strong start and had secured the backup role behind Clark before his season was cut short by injury. He rushed for 65 yards in the season opener against Texas A&M and followed that with a career-high 113-yard performance against Nevada–Las Vegas, including a 50-yard touchdown run. However, just two days later, he suffered a torn knee ligament during a non-contact practice, ending his season.

Despite appearing in only five games, Rodgers finished as Nebraska's fifth-leading rusher with 259 yards and three touchdowns on 43 carries. He also ranked second on the team in kickoff return yardage with 123 yards. Prior to the injury, Rodgers was regarded as one of the fastest players in Nebraska history, having recorded a 4.38 second time in the 40 yard dash.

1987 (Redshirt)
Rodgers redshirted after he missed the first several games because of a strained knee.

1986 (Freshman)
Rodgers quickly earned a spot on the varsity roster and appeared in 10 of Nebraska's 11 regular-season games as a reserve behind Keith Jones and Tyreese Knox. He rushed 27 times for 135 yards and one touchdown, while also contributing on special teams. Rodgers averaged 10.0 yards on five punt returns and 12.8 yards on six kickoff returns. 

Sweetwater High School
An All-American under Coach Gene Olin at the San Diego-area school, he emerged as one of the nation's most sought-after running back prospects. Among a host of major college offers, he ultimately chose Nebraska over USC.
