Some perspective 20 years after another college football champion was crowned

Twenty years ago a great Nebraska team repeated as national champions ripping Florida University to clinch the title.

The team had a star running back named Lawrence Phillips.

Twenty years later and 2 days after another national title game, Lawrence Phillips is found dead in his jail cell.

Some sobering reality for all and perspective for those of us who remember the hype and talk of the great future of Lawrence Phillips by so many covering that game.

Sadly Ernie Davis died within 3 years of leading Syracuse University to the 1959 college football title.
