The current football players at Nebraska and Colorado weren't alive when the rivalry between the schools was in its heyday. They are getting a history lesson this week in the build-up to Saturday's game in Boulder, Colorado. The rivalry is secondary to Deion Sanders' home coaching debut a week after the 22nd-ranked Buffaloes' upset of TCU. Nebraska and Colorado were the top two teams in the last seven years of the Big Eight, and the rivalry lived on when both were in the Big 12. Both teams are trying to return to their former glory.
