The University of Nebraska football team will wear ‘throwback’ uniforms this Saturday in observance of the Centennial of the Armistice and the original dedication of Memorial Stadium in Lincoln. The jerseys bear the inscription in place of the player’s name:
“Not the victory but the action; Not the goal but the game; In the deed the glory.”
The game will be shown on The Big Ten Network starting at 11:00 AM Central Time.
