Briscoe, Marlin, 1945-
The prospectus for the 1965 football season had the following to say about Marlin Briscoe: "The new offense—the pro-set—will feature a passing attack centered around junior quarterback Marlin Briscoe. Marlin (The Magician) is an expert passer who can throw short or long. If he can't throw, he can run with the abandon of Fran Tarkenton, Minnesota Viking's exciting scrambler."

"Omaha U. Preview: The Magician Is Back!" prospectus from the 1966 OU football media guide.
The prospectus trumpets, "The brightest spot this year is at quarterback. Marlin "The Magician" Briscoe is back. Pro scouts are drooling over Briscoe. He's hailed as one of the best in the midwest, including Big Ten and Big Eight signed-callers, and some scouts rank him with the best in the nation.
"OU switched to a new offense last year--the pro set. Briscoe and his mates took to it like kids take to Santa Claus. The Magician was fourth in the nation in total offense with 2,181 yards--passing for 1, 668 and rushing for 513."

Briscoe, Marlin, 1945-
The prospectus from the 1967 OU football media guide foretells "its biggest year in history under great pressure." Despite the dismal 1966 season, the prospectus is optimistic about 1967, largely due Marlin Briscoe's return. "Brightness on the horizon is the return to action of two-time ALL-CIC quarterback Marlin Briscoe, who missed last season with a neck injury. The scrambling field general set nine OU records during an 8-2 season in 1965. Needless to say, his absence last fall was chiefly responsible for the collapse which dulled what might have been Omaha's finest hour. The little quarterback is going to be under intense pressure week after week from opponents who will mark him as the main way to stop the varied Indian attack that netted 381 yards per game in 1965 under Briscoe's direction."

Is going into third season as Omaha starting quarterback. Secondary education major. Was All-City and Shrine Bowl selection as a halfback-quarterback in 1962 at Omaha South.
