Gill engineered some of the great
Nebraska teams of the 1980's. While a starter for the Cornhuskers, Gill lead his team to a 28-2 overall record and 20-0 in the Big Eight. He finished fourth in the Heisman race in 1983 behind teammate Mike Rozier.
This will be Gill's second trip to
Auburn . Back in 1982, he brought his
Nebraska team into Jordan-Hare Stadium and came away with a 41-7 win against Pat Dye's second
Auburn team. The previous year, he and the Cornhuskers defeated
Auburn 17-3 in
Lincoln.
Don't expect Saturday's results to be so positive for Gill and his
Buffalo team. He is in his first season at
Buffalo and stands at 1-2 after Saturday's 31-17 loss to
Northern Illinois . The Bulls lone win came against
Temple in week one.
Buffalo is a member of the MAC conference.
Kickoff is set for 1:30 p.m. from Pat Dye Field. There will be no television coverage this week.The game can heard on the radio through the Auburn Network and Sirius Satellite Radio.
