'Roger the Rocket' Sayers, a sprinter, defeated Bob Hayes in the 100-yard dash in 1962, 9.5 seconds to 9.7. Hayes set the world record at 9.1 seconds in 1963. Briscoe played for the Denver Broncos, Buffalo Bills, Miami Dolphins, and New England Patriots."</p>

Marlin Briscoe: Omaha U. football magician
Part

the following on
Oct. 1,196 8:
Denver, Colo. (AP) —
Ccach Lou Saban of Denver
said Mon day, Marlin Briscoe,
the first Negro ever to see action at
quarterback in the American Football
league, would start Sunday in a home game
against Cincinnati.
A week earlier, at 3 p.m. CST, on
Sunday, Sept. 29, 1968, Marlin Briscoe
stood on the sidel ines watching Jim LeClair
take the snaps for his Denver Bronco team.
By 5: 30 p.m. he was in the game, behind
center,
the first
African-American
quarterback in the AFL. (Willie Thrower,
Michigan State's African-American QB
played in one game with the 1953 Chicago
Bears.)
In his 10 minutes of work, Briscoe
dazzled the Boston Patriots' defense with
fancy footwork.
"It was a historic day," Briscoe said in a
telephone interview. "I completed my first
pass and the crowd went crazy. I had only
taken six snaps in practice all season, but I
wasn't even nervous. I was just out there
having fu n. We m arched 80 yards down the
field and I scored on a 12-yard scramble."
He also earned the shot as starting
signal caller the next week against the
Bengals.
Marlin Briscoe was drafted by the
Denver B roncos in the 14th round of the
1986 NF L Draft . He was the 357th overall
pick and w as slotted to play quarterback,
wide receiver and /or defensive back. At 5foot, 10 inches and 1 73 pounds, Briscoe was
thought of by the "experts" as too small to

differently.

and was named the team's "Outstanding amassed 21 OU football records, some
which still stand. Briscoe was named to the
Back of the Year."
The Magician pulled a few out of the All-Division, All-Black, All-America team
hat in 1965, guiding the Indians to a 8-2 in 1967.
"Coach Caniglia was the most
record and the Central Intercollegiate
Conference title. Named team captain for influential person in my life," Briscoe said.
1966, Briscoe saw the magic disappear.
OU's record fell to 1-9.
"I didn't know my father. When I got
drafted, Coach did a lot of background
investigation about the Broncos. He told me
their practices were all open to the public
and the media, so I had written into my
contract a provision I w ould get a three-day
tryout at quarterback. The press gave me
rave reviews. I s igned as a corner back and
emergency quarterback."
Life in the AFL started shakily for the
magic man. A pulled hamstring in pre
season 1968 hobbled him for a while. A
trade to Buffalo meant a change of position.
But... perfection was soon to come.
Acquired by the Miami Dolphins,
Briscoe played wide receiver, holder, kick
returner and quarterback during the perfect
17-0, 1972 season.
"Playing for Denver and Buffalo,"
Briscoe said, "I had my best games against
the Dolphins. When my options ran out in
Buffalo, Coach Shula told me if he couldn't
beat me, he was going to sign me."
During that perfect season, Briscoe was
3-3 in passing from the wide receiver
reverse option for 72 yards. As a wide out,
he hauled in 16 passes for 279 yards and
four touchdowns, including the first Miami
scoring toss that year.
Those accolades put Briscoe, along
with his Miami teammates, into the Florida
Sports Hall of Fame, class of2000. This was
"old hat" for "old No. 27", since he had
already been elected into the Nebraska Hall
of Fame in 1996, the UNO Hall of Fame,
and was one of four elected to the inaugural
class of the UNO Alumni Hall of Fame.
Today, Marlin Briscoe is the Assistant
Project Manager for a Boys and Girls Club
in Los Angeles helping kids find
the
"magic" in their lives.

Sports
All-time greatest
. . .G r i d w a t c h e r s p i c k t o p o f f e n s e
By Tim McNeil
"Bill E nglehardt could do it all. Pass, run, tackle,
and kick," Wayne Wagner said.
"Marlin Briscoe was a great field general," Paul
Borge said. "He was smart and he called his own plays."
"Nobody could compare to Roger Sayers when it
tame to running," Lloyd Cardwell said.
"Frank Hahn and Simon A. Simon were the two
best guards to p lay for UNO," Maurice Shadle said.
When asked to name the all-time great offensive
football p layers at UNO (formerly Omaha University),
Wagner, Shadle, Cardwell, and other long-time foot
ball observers expressed different opinions.
Englehardt
Wagner, e ntering his 14th yearns athletic trainer
at UNO, selected Englehardt as the best quarterback.
"He wasn't the fastest or quickest player on the
team," Wagner said. "His greatest asset was his ability
todo everything well and do them by surprise."
Shadle, a retired Omaha World-Herald sportswriter who covered OU-UNO football from 1938 to 1976,
agreed.
"He wo uld be a great back in any formation today
except the wishbone," Shadle said. "He wasn't ex
tremely fast and he didn't have the great quickness that
so many good backs have today."
Smart
Lloyd C ardwell, who coached Omaha University
from 1947-1959, p icked Englehardt because of his play
tailing.
"He was a smart quarterback," Cardwell said. "He
«s good at reading defenses and finding the open
receiver."
Paul Bo rge, associate professor of communication
md member of the UNO athletic committee, has
followed UNO football for 30 years. He said he has not
seen another p layer as good as Englehardt.
"Englehardt could do everything and anything,"
wge said. "He was tremendously talented."
Englehardt's career spanned the years 1952 to 1956
e'OU. A 5-9, 185-pound tailback in Cardwell's singleW|ngformaton, he remains UNO's leading scorer. He set

The players selected as UNO's all-time offensive
players stood out in the minds of Wayne Wagner, Paul
Borge, Maurice Shadle, Lloyd Cardwell, and Carl
Meyers. Additionally, they said there have been many
outstanding players throughout the years besides the
players mentioned.
handler. I wouldn't consider him a better all-around
player then Englehardt, but he was just as valuable
to his team."
"He could have played quarterback on an alsoran team in the NFL," Shadle said. "I don't think he
could have quarterbacked a championship team be
cause he didn't have the size of most quarterbacks."
Carl Meyers, former UNO quarterback and
assistant coach, said Briscoe was one of the best players
he has seen or coached.
"He was one of the best players in the 1960s,"
Meyers said. "He could have played anywhere in the
nation."
Exciting
"Meyers was probably the smartest player I ever
saw," Shadle said. "He was a good passer and excellent
ball handler. He was handicapped by mediocre material.
If he had the players Englehardt did, he would have
been a great quarterback."
Great faker
"Meyers was a great faker and good at play-action
passing," Borge said.
As a junior, Meyers (5-11, 170-pounds) led his team
to an 8-1-1 record and to the All-Sports Bowl. He com
pleted 12 of 24 passes for 238 yards and two touchdowns
as OU beat East Central Oklahoma 34-21. He was also
voted the game's outstanding back. He recorded his
best year as a senior, passing for 1,125 yards and 15
touchdowns.
Wagner, Cardwell, and Borge agreed with each
other when selecting their all-time running back.
"Roger Sayers was another player that was essential
to his team," Wagner said. "If you gave him a hole, he
was gone."
Bears
"He made defenses look like they were standing
still," Borge said. "He was one of the fastest players I
have seen in a uniform."
Sayers is the brother of former Chicago Bears
all-pro running back Gayle Sayers.
The 5-8, 154-pound back shares the NAIA record
for longest pass reception from scrimmage, 99 yards.
He holds the UNO record for rushing average with
8.6 yards a carry.
Sayers rushed for 2,033 yards in his career and
scored 30 touchdowns. In the last three games of his
career, he carried 13 times and scored seven touch
downs.
Sayers was also a standout in track. He was clocked
at 9.4 when he twice beat the "world's fastest human,"
former Dallas Cowboy star Bob Hayes. He is a m
ember of
the NAIA track Hall of Fame and UNO's Hall of Fame.
UNO Sports Information Director Gary Anderson
called Briscoe the most exciting player he has seen.
"He was undoubtedly the most exciting and best
player I have seen in my 20 years of watching UNO
football. He probably meant more to his team than any
other player," Anderson said.
Briscoe, a 5-10, 170-pound all-pro wide receiver
during the Miami Dolphins' Super Bowl years and
member of the UNO Hall of Fame, was an All-American
in 1967. He set 22 records, 14 of which still stand. He
remains UNO's total offense leader with 6,253 career
yards.
Briscoe was drafted in the 14th round by the Denver
Broncos in 1968. He started at three different positions
in the NFL — quarterback (Denver), defensive back
and wide receiver (Buffalo), and wide receiver (Miami).
Shadle and Borge named Carl Meyers as another
good quarterback because of his ball-handling and
intelligence.
Wagner, Shadle, and Cardwell chose Joe Arenas
as Sayers' greatest running mate.
"Football fans marveled over the success Arenas
had in the NFL," Shadle said. "People always asked
me if he improved that much. I a nswered no, because I
felt he was always a great player."
"He was great at cutting back," Cardwell said.
"He didn't have great speed, but he was shifty."
Arenas played from 1947 to 1951. The 5-11, 180pound tailback averaged more than 200 yards rushing
in one season. He is a member of the UNO Hall of Fame
and a 1949 All-American.
Arenas led the NFL several times in kickoff returns

assistant coach for the University of Houston when

they played Nebraska in the 1976 Cotton Bowl.
Inseparable
Meyers said he couldn't decide between Sayers,
Louie Miloni, and Wayne Backes when selecting his
favorite back.
Miloni, a 5-5, 154-pound halfback, rushed for
592 yards his senior year. Backes, a 5-8, 170-pound
fullback, never lost a yard in his four-year career. He
rushed for 607 yards his senior year.
The 1961 team featured Meyers, Sayers, Miloni,
and Backes in the same backfield. Meyers passed for
705 yards, Sayers rushed for 707 yards, Miloni rushed
for 592 yards, and Backes rushed for 304.
"Miloni would hit a truck if he had to. "He was tough
as nails and built like a spark plug."
Tough yards
Gerald Allen, a 5-11, 195-pound running back
and defensive back, made the Associated Press Ail-
American team in 1964. He holds the UNO record for
longest interception return for a touchdown, 94 yards.
Shadle included Bill Steck as a member of his
all-time backfield because of his ability to pick up
tough yardage.
Cardwell also added Steck to his backfield. "He
was old reliable. He produced the tough yards when his
team needed it."
When selecting their best end, Wagner, Borge,
Cardwell, and Shadle singled out Randy Rotella.
"The 1954 team was an excellent team," Wagner
said. "Englehardt was the star, but Rotella was the
leader."
K. R. A nderson
"Rotella had tremendous hands," Borge said. "He
was good at catching in a crowd."
"Rotella was a tough tight end," Cardwell said.
Shadle selected Rotella and Kurt R. Anderson as
his all-time best ends.
"They are probably the best ends I c an remember,"
Shadle said. "They didn't have the important physical
tools, but they had a knack for getting open and catching
the ball."
Rotella (6-1, 195-pounds), was a 1954 Ail-American
and is a member of the UNO Hall of Fame. He caught
the winning touchdown pass from Englehardt in the
Tangerine Bowl. He was fourth in the nation his senior
year in receiving with 32 receptions for 462 yards.
All-sports
^
Anderson (6-2, 190-pounds) was All-North Central
Conference in 1979-80. He caught 129 passes for 1,810
yards and eight touchdowns in his career. His best
season was 1979 when he finished sixth in the nation,
catching 54 passes for 817 yards and five touchdowns.
Meyers chose Paul Blazevich as the best end T

"They played well together," Cardwell said. "1 bav
never seen anyone who loved football as much as th'
did. The tougher the game got, the better they plaveH"
Simon (5-10, 200-pounds) and Hahn (5-10) started
as guards on the Tangerine Bowl team. They were part
of the offense that holds the UNO record for mostpok
in a season with 360, most points averaged a game with
36, and most first downs in one game with 37.
Meyers said Dan Klepper and Harlan Aden were
the best linemen to play for UNO.
"Klepper (1968 All-American) was the best p ass
blocker I can remember," Meyers said. "He was bit
(6-3, 245-pounds), strong, and fast. Aden (1965 AllAmerican) wasn't as big as Klepper, but he had more
speed. His specialty was pulling and trapping."
Shadle said 1952 All-American center Larry
Johnson (6-3, 210 pounds) and Hall of Fame center
Harold Johnk (6-4, 260-pounds) were the best offensive
linemen he had seen.
"They were awesome centers," Shadle said. "They
fired off the ball and pushed people out. They had every
thing coaches look for in players — size, speed, and
intelligence."

Marlin The Magician' Briscoe Is Happy Pro
by Herb Vermaas
Marlin "The Magician" Bris
coe, who gave O maha U. fans
many thrills with his scramb
ling and pinpoint passing, says
he once had doubts about his
pro career; but is
glad he stuck it
out.
Briscoe, in a telephone inter

particularly at quarterback."
"Coach Lou Saban, (nowwith
Buffalo,) had ten quarterbacks
in training camp, including my
self. It was like a big playpen."
Good Arm
Briscoe notes that Saban fin
ally dec ided to make Tensi the
starter. "He felt Tensi had a
good arm, and the size to be a
pro quarterback. Besides, the
Broncos paid a lot of mo ney to
acquire him from San Diego."
Being a benchwarmer was
frustrating for Briscoe, but he
was glad for having made the
team. "Considering all the
frustrations I had gonethrough,
it felt great just to be a part of a
pro team."
"I was really frustrated," said
Briscoe. "I know I had a lot of
talent, but no one in the NFL or
the old AFL knew much about
me."
Briscoe continued to work
out, hoping for an offer some

But as it turned out, that was a
lot of talk."
"He always talked to Tensi
and left me out in the darkabout
things. So I played o ut my op
tion during the 1969 season. I
was thoroughly disgusted."
Wide Receiver
Briscoe then signed with Buf
falo as a free agent. The Bills
made him a wide receiver, d e
spite his desire to be a quarter
back.
"I was really disappointed
that the Bills did no t give me a
shot at quarterback, but I was
just glad to make the squad."
If Marlin was disappointed, he
didn't show it. He led the Amer
ican Football Conference in
pass receiving in 1970 with 57
catches for 857 yards and six
touchdowns.
"O. J. Simpson couldn't be
lieve it when I told him I was not
a receiver in coll ege. He really
thought I was kidding."
Laughing Stock
But the Bills, like the Bron
cos, were the laughing stock of
the NFL when he was there. And
he played out his option again.
Briscoe said it wasn't be
cause Lou Saban came to Buf
falo from Denver, but he made it
no secret he has never been an
admirer of Saban since his Den
ver days. "I was in disp ute with
my contract," said Briscoe,
"and that was the main r
eason I
left Buffalo."
Traded to Maimi
"But adding Lou Saban
certainly did not persuade meto
stay. So the Bills trad ed me to
Miami w here I have been ever
since."
"When I cam to Miami I was
faced with an other battle. This
time I knew I would never havea
shot at quarterback. The Dol
phins had Bob Greise,who then
was emerging into a star and
has been one since."
"They wanted me to be
strictly a receiver. I k new the
competition would be fierce,
but I was determined to make
the grade."
Twilley Ahead
"During
my
first
season,
Howard Twilley was ahead of
me most of t he time. But I got a
break, Twilley got hurt during
the 1972 season, and I saw
extensive action."
Marlin, who has playedexten
sively since, says teaming with
Paul Warfield, the Dolphins AllPro receiver, has been a thrill.
"He's so smooth ancf has made
things so easy for our oth re
er
ceivers."
Hopeful
Briscoe, who has been in
jured lately, is hopeful of re
turning. "I'd like to get back into
the lineup soon. Coach Shula
still thinks I have a bright future
in the NFL."
Shula isn't t he only coach in
the NFL who thinks Briscoe is a
fine receiver. He certainly has
given many defensive backs
trouble.
Briscoe says besides playing
for Miami, th e biggest thrill for
him is having played on two
Super Bowl championship
clubs.
"Believe me , w hen I left col
lege I wondered whether I
would ever play in th e NFL, let
alone play for a world cham
pionship squad."

Five years after Marlin Briscoe moved on from OU, the Gateway did a feature on his early pro career. After a frustrating year with the Denver Broncos, Briscoe signed with the Buffalo Bills, where he played as a wide receiver, though he would have preferred to be a quarterback. After that, he went to the Miami Dolphins, where he played on two Super Bowl championship squads. At the time the article was written, he was temporarily out of service due to an injury. Just days after this article was published, Briscoe would be deactivated by the Dolphins, squelching the optimism he expressed here. <br /><br />Source: Vermaas, Herb.

Pro s Draft Briscoe A nd Haas
By Rudy Smith
With the signing of Omaha
U. quarterback Marl in, the Ma
gician, Briscoe and split-end
Bill Haas to professional foot
ball contracts they will be the
fifth and sixth OU football
players to sign a pro contract
since 1964.
In 1964, Jack Petersen, a de
fensive tackle signed with the
Green Bay Packers of the NFL.
In 1965, little Ail-American
Gerald Allen signed with the
Baltimore Colts as a running
back and end. He is presently
the top ball carrier for the
Washington Redskins of the
NFL.
Big and tough Jimmy Jones,
end, was drafted the same year
by the New York Jets and af
ter being placed on waivers was
signed by the Pittsburg Steelers.
Last year OU's bruising full
back Bill Dodd signed a pro
contract with the Kansas City
Chiefs of the AFL for a cash
bonus according to I)odd.
Little All-American quarter
back, Briscoe, who set 22 OU
football records and amassed
6,253 total career yards while
on offense, was drafted by the
Denver Broncos of the Ameri
can Football League in the four
teenth round on February 1.
Haas and Briscoe led the In
dians to a 7-3 grid mark this
season and the CIC Champion
ship.
Haas and Briscoe were both

All-CIC and All-District 11
selections.
Bill who was honorable men
tion All-American was drafted
in the eleventh round by the
Minnesota Vikings in the Na
tional Football League.
He has another year of eli
gibility remaining but is ex
pected to bypass it for a pos
sible pro career.
Haas Nine TD's
As a split-end, Bill caught
55 career passes, for 850 yards
and nine touchdowns. He kicked
19 extra points last season to
lead the team in scoring with
73 points.
Topping a brilliant senior sea
son Briscoe was selected as the
World-Heralds Athlete of the
Year. Rocket Roger Sayers,
OU's Olympic sprinter was the
the other OU recipient of the
award. Sayers, brother of OU
gridder Ron Sayers, received it
in 1962.
At the Annual Omaha Sportcasters banquet in January
Haas and Briscoe were among
ten outstanding Nebraska gridders to receive Gold Helmet
awards for brilliant gridiron
performance.
"If they, Bill and Marlin, are
given the opportunity to show
their potential I'm sure they'll
make it as pros," said head
football coach A1 Caniglia.
Scouts Want Films
According to Caniglia every
AFL and NFL team has re
quested films on the two draft
ees.
"Haas has the ability," he
said, "but the determining fac
tor will be the competition he
will encounter in training camp.
By that I mean the number of
veterans manning the split-end
post."
Caniglia also stated that ev
ery scout that has requested
films on Briscoe were very
much impressed and their only
reservations being his height,
thus accounting for his selec
tion in the fourteenth round.
Stan Jones of the Denver
Broncos feels South High grad
Briscoe will help them as a
quarterback or a defensive back.
Dave Smith of the New Or
leans Saints said of the Ma
gician, "He's got the greatest
arm I have ever seen on any
quarterback-college or pro. He's
the only man I have ever seen
who can run to his left and
throw the ball righthanded 55
yards through the air with com
plete accuracy."
If he makes it as a pro quar
terback, Marlin will be the first
Negro to do it at that position
but he feels he can "definitely
make it as a quarterback" be
cause of his leadership ability,
brain power and perfect me
chanical execution of plays.
Ralston High graduate Haaand Briscoe are both cagers and
scoring in double figures for
the Indians. Haas, an Academic
All-American, has been selected
to the All-CIC cage team twice.
He is presently the team'.second leading scorer and ranks
sixth on the all time scoring
list.
