BTN Originals will debut its second feature-length documentary Unbeaten: The Life of Brook Berringer Saturday, Oct. 18 immediately following the Nebraska at Northwestern game on BTN. The film tells the story of Brook Berringer, an unheralded quarterback from the small town of Goodland, Kansas, who attended the University of Nebraska. A career backup, Berringer was the No. 2 quarterback behind Heisman Trophy candidate Tommie Frazier as the 1994 season unfolded. When Frazier was diagnosed with blood clots four games in to the Husker’s season – Berringer was thrust into the starting role. Berringer won all seven games that he started that year, leading the Cornhuskers to an unbeaten regular season and a berth in the Orange Bowl against Miami. While Frazier returned to start the Orange Bowl, Berringer entered the game in the second quarter and helped spark a comeback. Together Berringer and Frazier lead the Cornhuskers to victory which gave legendary Nebraska Head Coach Tom Osborne his first national championship. Berringer remains beloved in the Cornhusker state for his contributions that season. - See more at: http://btn.com/unbeaten-the-life-of-brook-berringer/#sthash.0nSyWzil.dpuf
