Barron Miles played football with a confident, fearless attitude, something he tries to instill in his players today.
Sports in general, Miles said, should have players playing with passion, understanding and aggressiveness.
The Nebraska teams he played on from 1992-94 had all of that, and then some.
“And we had great athletes,” Miles said, “so that’s icing on the cake.”
Miles, a native of Roselle, New Jersey, set Nebraska season records in pass breakups and blocked kicks, including a memorable punt block and recovery for a touchdown in coach Tom Osborne’s 200th career victory at Oklahoma State in 1993.
