A team captain on the 1970 team, Schneiss ran for 330 yard and four touchdowns as a senior, while catching 18 passes out of the backfield, including a key grab on the game-winning fourth-quarter drive against Oklahoma. A native of West Bend, Wisc., he ran for 397 yards and caught 20 passes as a junior in 1969. He was an 11^th-round selection by New England in the 1971 NFL Draft.

Wally Winter, Offensive Tackle, 1968-70—A native of Eagle, Neb., Winter teamed with Bob Newton to give Nebraska one of the nation’s top tackle tandems in 1970. Winter was called the Gentle Giant off the field, but was a tenacious competitor on the field. Winter’s blocking helped an offense that average better than 230 rushing yards and 420 yards of total offense per game in 1970.

Carl Selmer, Assistant Coach, 1962-72—An assistant coach for 11 years under Bob Devaney, Selmer was the offensive line coach for two national championship teams. During Selmer’s time at Nebraska, he helped lead the Huskers to eight Big Eight championships and nine bowl appearances. Selmer coached seven first-team All-Americans at Nebraska, and 17 first-team All-Big Eight performers.

Ray Phillips, Defensive End, 1975-76—An All-Big Eight defensive end in 1976, Phillips earned honorable-mention All-America accolades as a senior. Phillips made 49 total tackles in 1976, including eight tackles for loss, while he also recovered a fumble, intercepted a pass and blocked a punt. Phillips made 62 tackles in his junior season in 1975, including three tackles for loss and added three pass breakups. A native of Milwaukee, Wis., Phillips was a fifth-round pick by Cincinnati in the 1977 NFL Draft. He played five seasons in the NFL (Bengals, Eagles) and also played two seasons in the USFL.

Doug DuBose, Running Back, 1982-86—One of the nation’s top running backs during his Nebraska career, DuBose was a two-time All-Big Eight pick in 1984 and 1985. DuBose rushed for better than 1,000 yards in both his sophomore and junior seasons, helping the Huskers to the trips to the Sugar and Fiesta Bowls, respectively. The Uncasville, Conn., native finished ninth in the NCAA in rushing in 1985, after rushing for 1,040 yards as a sophomore. DuBose’s career was cut short by a knee injury that sidelined him for his senior season in 1986, but he managed 14 career 100-yard rushing games and 2,205 career rushing yards. DuBose played two seasons with the San Francisco 49ers.

State College Inductee

Chris Bober, Nebraska-Omaha, Offensive Line, 1996-99—Bober started 45 consecutive games as an offensive lineman at Nebraska-Omaha. Bober earned first-team Division II All-America honors from the American Football Coaches Association, Daktronics/CoSIDA and Football news. He was named the Division II Offensive Lineman of the year by Gazette Magazine when UNO led Division II with 335.2 rushing yards per game in 1999. He was also a first-team All-American by Daktronics/CoSIDA as a junior. An Omaha native, Bober was a two-time first-team All-North Central Conference selection and the league’s offensive lineman of the year in both 1998 and 1999. He played eight seasons in the National Football League with the Giants and Chiefs, appearing in 91 career games with 37 starts.
