THE BALLAD OF AN ANONYMOUS HERO

If you are a fan of devout husker, exit the tape of the 1972 national championship game with Alabama.Fast foreword to the last play of the first quarter and you will find Johnny Rodgers to galloping down the field to a courtyard 77 Nebraska.Observe touchdown carefully as forms of wall and "put 'em in the corridors" husker three defensive linemen out seven players of Alabama and Johnny spring for another of his famous runs.

But today is day of Johnny.Belongs to one of these three linieros.Su numbers were 55 and his name is Bill Janssen. Bill fails to finish this game because sprained an ankle in the second quarter.

Janssen arrived in Nebraska in Red River High School in Grand Forks, North Dakota.His father was in the air force Unidos.Bill States was a 6'4 ", pound 215 giant and learned his skills soccer in Texas in other air force assignment."

"When I moved to North Dakota, was out of interest in sports," recalled Janssen.Hockey was great sport and I didn't know anything about.

No problem.

Nebraska took notice of a very talented soccer player in hockeyland.Una Husker Carl Selmer coaches visit and Monte Kiffin, apart from a small arm twisting of brother Bill, Carl, who played football for the Air Force Academy took the easy decision. Bill became a husker.

One of his first memories of Nebraska Football was in a rookie at the meeting with coach Bob Devaney.

"Coach Devaney walked in the dressing room of the House and began asking lots of questions," said Bill.

"How many of the guys played on computers where won more games lost?" Devaney requested.

"Perhaps one-third of boys erected their continuation armas.A, Devaney wanted to know how many guys played on computers where they lost more games that won."Once again, went up a third of the hands.Then asked what a coach of high school who told us how many of us had was too bad we lost because we play so well?"All hands went up."

"" Well this bullshit, "told Devaney."His coach does not tell the truth.Football is a game of errors. When you make fewer errors than the other guy, you win. Eliminate errors in Nebraska. That is why we won in Nebraska. "

"But there was a time or two when you didn't win Nebraska.""" You'll learn even more from those days ", said Janssen." I remember that very long, flat ride bus home from California when UCLA below of the arm of Mark Harmon, beat us 20-17 in 1972.Fullback, McAlestar, flew just above me in a work where needed some large yardage to stay at ella.Doug Dumler and I were captains when our streak game 31 came to an end. "This was not fun."

"Your best memory is the second national championship against Alabama game."My best performance was that first fourth comeback against Alabama punt. I am very proud of what we did on this play.Kiffin told us that it might be available to us and sure enough, when provisions we arrive to and enabled Johnny Juice, fue.Creo who broke the back of Alabama.We were 13-0 to another national championship.That was a fun ride home."

Janssen was drafted in the eighth round of the by Pittsburgh but pro football was simply not as fun as a schoolboy he.

"Football takes a toll on you and was taking a toll on me," said Bill."Is time for me to proceed."

Its harder assignment came almost at the same time.He and his wife were expecting twins.Twin daughters, Monica and Heather were born three months premature.Heather only survived during a day.

"Had only 24 and treated," said as a softness has over their eyes."Clear is that his daughter Heather took much of his father's heart special elsewhere."I committed to be the best father I could be

"If they meet Bill Street, probably wouldn't know about his football days.""" Not driving with that"said.""I even thought long and hard envelope if I do this," he said as he makes note of the large ring of gold in his right-hand with large red stone and a diamond in the centro.Es 1971 national championship ring.

"Is large, and some would say, a little sad, but taking into account the bruises and broken bones, I guess I've earned the right to usar.Me imagine that I will always be proud that I was anonymous heroes one Nebraska."

In fact, you are a hero, Mr. Janssen.De done you are.

Former ' OC Bama Homer Smith passes away

by outsidethesidelines on April 11, 2011 8: 04 CDT in football

A sad news to start this morning as we learn former ' offensive coordinator from Bama Homer Smith died yesterday morning. Smith had been battling cancer in recent years, but even as of a few months ago was still active in the community as a coach. Cecil Hurt has a nice column looking back at his time in Alabama:

"I was blessed with two big offensive coordinators, Mal Moore and Homer Smith," former quarterback Jay Barker said on Sunday. "But it was coach Smith which really opened my eyes to the possibilities in the game of step." Earlier, he had coaches that tell you something and maybe give it a test. But head coach Smith would stop at the meeting and actually teach. He would go through the comprehensive guide. Sometimes it would face an hour-and-half board, but his theory was, if you can teach it, i.e., that he knew. "And because, when it was in the field, easily."

Smith's crimes accumulate record numbers in 1988 and 1989 with David Smith and Hollingsworth to field marshal. His return to staff of Gene Stallings was more limited success, as some of his ideas were at odds with the approach more conservative of Stallings. Even so, he had Barker breaking records and what makes New York as a Heisman Trophy finalist and winning one of the most memorable games in the history of Alabama, a classic of 29-28 on Georgia.

Although Smith only spent a few years in Alabama, the most offensive coordinator of Alabama is possibly in the era post-Bryant, and their crimes were generally as productive imaginative. His offense was very much the driving force behind the two recent Bill Curry combined teams to win 19 games, and the offensive of 1989 is possibly one of the best in the history of the school. His return to Tuscaloosa in 1994 to form the so-called Dream Team as a personal coach Gene Stallings and Bill Oliver did not go as planned, but yet still transformed Jay Barker pedestrian player to come from a major injury to a contender for the Heisman Trophy in good faith, and remained a fan favorite.

Beyond of their successes in the field, however, most impressive for Smith may have been its achievements in the classroom. Smith was a Manager by trade, but that did not prevent him from winning a title at Princeton economics, an MBA from Stanford, a Ph.d. in theology at Harvard. It is not surprising given that backdrop, was held in high regard by their peers in football as one of the most innovative offensive of its day. Everything is a sad day for college football, as we lose one of the best coaches and the majority of individuals only.
