Description
"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."
