I believe it was Paul Lyons, who was actually a QB but was for some reason inserted as DB.

It actually was Paul Lyons whot at the time was a DB and only a DB after that season was converted to QB.

As for the LSU-Nebraska Orange bowl in 83 I have a story. Around 2001 was transferred to a small Nebraska town and later that season was when LSU beat Tenn in the SEC championship game and sent Nebraska with Eric Crouch to the NC game. At the time Nebraska fans loved LSU and got to talking to my sales rep about LSU Neb games. The 71 Orange Bowl and 76 6-6 tie and 83 Orange Bowl as well as 86 if I remember correctly Sugar Bowl. As we were discussing 83 Orange Bowl he mentioned what a great game it was and then asked me if I knew Dave Remington played on that team. I said yea in fact going into that game all we kept hearing was how he had never missed a play that season when a game was within 21 points or some stat like that basically he had played every meaningful play in every game. He said yea that's right and I said until that bowl game that is Ramsey Dardar LSU's nose guard kicked Remington's arse and midway through the 3rd quarter you will see the Nebraska offense on the field and Remington on the sidelines sucking oxygen and LSU is still winning the game at that point, not to mention if you watch the center noseguard play you will see Dardar beating Remington all nite long.

He claimed a friend of his had it on VHS and I was full of it. I told him I would bet $100 bucks against the tape of the game if Remington isnt sucking oxygen in the 3rd while the Ne offense is on the field. Long story short the tape couldnt be found despite being told prior to my comment that they watched that tape all the time in the offseason.
