That would be Omaha's own Marli Briscoe. n Omaha is also the hometown of film and television actor John Beasley, who is set to star in a film based on Briscoe's life story titled Third and Long, to be shot (where else?) right here in Oma ha. Briscoe grew up in an era of segregation and racial tension. He dreamed of being a star football player but was toldit would never happen, which makes it even more important to Briscoe that his story be told. "At that time, blacks and whites had a lot of Marlin racial disharmony," Briscoe said. Third and Long, a production of West Omaha Films, will reenact Briscoe's life and his career, whic h wasn't always a pleasant picture. After attending Omaha South High School and the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Briscoe rose in the ranks of the Denver Broncos to be named the team's starting quarterback in 1968. In his first year as quarterback he completed 14 touchdown passes, a record that no other rookie ha s yet surpassed. Briscoe w ould later go on to play for the Buffalo Bills and the Miami Dolphins. Briscoe's life took a turn for th e worse after he was finished with football. He became addicted to drugs, a struggle that eventually landed him behind bars. Today, he is a mentor to young people in Los Angeles. He teaches them about the dangers of drugs and theroute toovercoming adversity, among other lessons.

(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 he a quarterback. Coach Saban thought differently. From t he sports desk column by David Johnson By year's end, he had thrown for 14 touchdown, tops on the team. His stats weren't enough to keep him in town, however, and he found himself in a Buffalo Bills uniform the next year, primarily playing wide receiver. Briscoe led the league in 1970 with 57 pass receptions. Size was never an issue for Marlin Briscoe. During his years at South High School, he excelled both on the gridiron and on the basketball court.

Racking up 1,309 yards of tossed for 2,283 yards and a school record total offense, he led the squad to a 5-4 record 25 touchdowns. By season's end, he had 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. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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."

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 while playing for the San Francisco 49erss-He was an assistant coach for the University of Houston when (continued on page 14) Briscoe Englehardt Cutting back I Arenas THE GATEWAY Page 13 srarge* �Best OU-UNO offense includes Sayers, Briscoe (continued from page 13) 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 6-0, 195-pound tight end was All-American in 1952 was voted outstanding lineman in the All-Sports Bo i Shadle and Cardwell named Frank Hahn Simon A. Simon as the best linemen. "They were not great individual players, but duo they were fabulous," Shadel said. "Simon wf1 smart kid and Hahn was a tough kid. A lot of Sin/ 8 intelligence rubbed off on Hahn, and Hahn's tou^!1" rubbed off on Simon." Loved football "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." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Briscoe, in a telephone inter view from Miami, said he soug ht offers from pro clubs upon his graduation from then OU, wish ing to tryout at quarterb ack, but was turned down. Lot of Talent rived. They were in sad shape, 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 It was not until the ninth game where during the summer of of the '68 season Briscoe saw 1968. "I felt like giving up at any action.

"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." � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

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 (Continued to Page 5) �Briscoe, Haas Picked (Continued from Page 1) 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. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

OU Hero Briscoe Leaves Behind Passable Career By Gary Anderson An era has ended. In a blaze of glory last Saturday against South Dakota, Marlin Briscoe ended an illustri ous four-year career. He tied his own record of 19 completions, while engineering a 27-20 win over a team Omaha had failed to defeat in ten previous encounters. The senior magician who was unheralded after a high school career with Omaha South now holds 21 OU career and season records. Saturday Briscoe was at his artistic best, connecting on 19 of 34 passes for 275 yards and rushing for 52 yards. Five of his completions came during a courageous fourth-quartsr-comeback en route to the winning score. Leading 20-7 at the half, Oma ha fell to the inspired rush of the Coyotes, who tied the game 20-20 early in the fourth period. Briscoe Scrambles Jim Foster scored the TD, capping a three-play 17-yard march after a Ray Shaw fumble of a punt attempt. After stalling the South Dakotans and regaining the ball on a punt on the OU 14, Briscoe breathed life into the sputtering Indian attack. Scrambling the best he has scrambled all season, Briscoe marched the Indians 86 yards in 13 plays to snuff out the brief Coyote hopes for victory. During this winning drive, Briscoe completed five passes to get to the Coyote nine, where Pat Smagacz rambled into the end-zone»for the winning score with only 2:44 left in the game. Omaha dominated the first half with two touchdowns in the first quarter and one in the second. Briscoe fired a 77-yard strike to Bill Haas to open the scoring. Briscoe hit Tom McKeman for nine yards for the second score. After the Sodaks scored on a 41-yard second quarter TD, drive Bill Haas made the catch of the day: a four-yard Briscoe aerial. The Coyotes' rejuvenated sec ond-half attack, led by halfback Steve Chambers d o m i n a t e d most of the second half leading to Omaha's winning touchdown drive. Chambers fooled the Indian secondary with a halfback pass to Roger Larson that covered 41 yards. The young Omaha defense played one of their best games in the line, stopping heralded fullback John Biezuns for 11 yards on five trips. The secondary was weakened by the loss of Steve Haborak who was out with a bout with the flu. Rick Davis did an out standing job of filling in con sidering he was playing a strange position. I Briscoe . . . Era Ends Haas leaped high to grab the ball and then barely fell in the end zone for his 73rd point of the season. Briscoe "All-American" The winning touchdown drive exemplifies coach A1 Caniglia's high regard for Briscoe. "He can do more to pick up a team than any kid we've had," Caniglia said. "If any kid ever was an Ail-American, this kid is." Bill Haas, also a senior the 1968 Indians will sorely miss, gathered in eight passes for 177 yards and two touchdowns. The two TD's enabled Haas to lead all Omaha scorers with 73 points. The big story was Briscoe, however, as he treated the turn out of 5127 with his usual ex citing performance. Briscoe ends the season in ex cellent position to attain AllAmerica honors as well as a high spot in the pro draft some time next month. The little kid who used to idolize Bill Englehardt, leaves college competition as perhaps the greatest athlete ever to play here. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Marlin the Magician as he is best known is a player (guy) you have to study, like music, to appreciate his finesse and mastery while performing on the gridiron. He may be called the new blood to last year s 1-9 team, 01 the old man on this year's team due to his experience, but one thing is certain, and that is the fact that he is the archangel of the team. What makes Marlin or any quarterback exceptional? Is it his play selection? Is it his passing and scrambling? Or is it the blocking given him by the forward wall ? Blocking, passing and scrambling all help to make a quarteiback exceptional but it doesn't start there. To the amazement of a few people it starts long before the snap of the ball to the field general but — when the quarterback enters the huddle. From that second on he's in command. QB . . . Mr. Know It All In the huddle he must call the play clearly and concisely and with authority. If a player has doubts about his assignment he consults the quarterback, Mr. Know It All. When the huddle breaks the team trots up to the line of scrimmage. At the line of scrimmage timing is important. The Indians quarterback, which is usually Briscoe, gets his team set and then in one smooth motion and in unison suddenly clashes with force. Timing is important and without it the objective of getting the jump on the defensive team is lost. Briscoe does all this well, that is with a well disciplined team, such as the OU Indians, and once the play gets underway he seems to demoralize the defense with his passing brilliance or with his scrambling ventures whether it be off the bootleg or the busted play. None the less, Marlin seems to at least for the present throw a wrench into the misconception that the'scrambling quarterback is a marked back. " I d e s O f M arch" People often overlook the fact that to put a mark on him you must first have to catch him and Marlin doesn't have the tendency to stand on his head waiting for a soothsayer to come innocently to tell him all about the "Ides of March". When you're busy breaking records, going to school, and student teaching you don't have time for soothsayers. The archangel owns eleven OU football records and is tied for another going into this year's football season and he has tied or broken four since the season opener. And after all has been said and done what does he do for an encore? All-American honors? Let's Not Discriminate Who said that women aren't sports inclined. The Tomahawk has as its sports editor, a female. Her name is Linda Preisman. She has had plenty of experience as Gateway editor and sports editor. Let's not discriminate because of sex at least not now. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
