Husker Attic: 1995 Orange Bowl Cap

March 07, 2020

There’s a lot of great Husker memorabilia out there. Husker Attic is how we’ve showcased those vintage finds in every issue of Hail Varsity since our very first one. In the weeks ahead we’re sharing some of those gems online for the first time. Brought to you by Husker Army Presents 2020 Husker Collectible and Autograph Show.


1995 Orange Bowl Cap

The Huskers have played in more Orange Bowl games than any other bowl, 17, winning eight including their last three. The last two were at Pro Player Stadium (now Hard Rock Stadium) in Miami Gardens, Florida.
