Honors & Awards

• 1972 Second Team All-Big Eight (AP)

1973 (Senior)
Injuries kept Wolfe from having all star years in 1972 and 1973. A fall camp knee injury hampered him all during 1973. Bob was drafted by the Miami Dolphins but signed with Birmingham of the World Football League. 

Despite missing a key player, the Huskers had the fourth best rushing attack (225.4 ypg) and the second best passing offense (170.6 ypg) in the Big Eight during the ‘73 season. Wolfe helped the Huskers to a 9-2-1 record and a 19-3 Cotton Bowl win over Texas.

1972 (Junior)
Bob was a standout guard for the Huskers until a knee injury at Colorado sidelined him for the rest of the season. Despite this setback Wolfe still earned second team All-Big Eight honors. 

Bob helped lead the Huskers to the Big Eight’s top passing attack for the second consecutive season. Nebraska also ranked fourth in the conference in rushing offense, averaging 219.3 yards per game, and finished second in total offense at 440.3 yards per game. The Husker offensive line helped power an offense that led the Big Eight in scoring, averaging 41.9 points per game. 

1971 (Sophomore)
Bob spent the 1971 National Championship season as a back up to Daryl White at offensive tackle before moving to guard in the spring of 1972. 

The Huskers boasted the Big Eight’s top passing attack, averaging 179.3 yards per game, while their ground game produced 3,100 yards, good for third in the conference at 258.3 yards per game. Overall, the Husker offense averaged 437.7 yards and 39.1 points per game, ranking second in the Big Eight in both categories behind only Oklahoma.
