You may have heard the news: Husker football is headed to Ireland for a season-opening game against Illinois in 2021.

That will mark the Huskers' first time in Europe, but not the first time outside the United States.

In 1992, No. 11 Nebraska traveled to the Tokyo Dome in, you guessed it, Tokyo, Japan, with a chance to clinch the Big 8 title against Kansas State.

Tommie Frazier — then a freshman — ran for three touchdowns and passed for another, while sophomore I-back Calvin Jones ran for 186 yards on 30 carries in a 38-24 NU win, clinching an Orange Bowl berth.

Had the Huskers lost, Colorado would have been conference champs and NU would have been placed in the Blockbuster Bowl. Remember, this was 1992.
