Coach Mac was 3-9-1 against the Huskers and was asked what his favorite memory is from those games.

"Shaking hands with Tom Osbourne after we beat them. Wow, it didn't happen near enough. He was so gracious, but I loved that. He was very polite. Now, Switzer, he used profanity. But, Osbourne, he was a gentleman. That was good," McCartney said.
