Bio
In his final collegiate game, Nebraska end Clarence Swanson ignited the Cornhuskers offense that buried Colorado State,70-7. Captain Swanson set a school record when he caught three touchdown passes in that game. And his record stood for 50 years before All-America great and Heisman Trophy winner Johnny Rogers matched it in a 1971 game against Minnesota. Swanson made third- team All-America in 1920 and second-team in 1921. That year the only team to beat the Cornhuskers was powerful Notre Dame, 7-0. During Swanson's four varsity seasons in a Cornhusker uniform, Nebraska was 17-10-4.
